Default GWiz Racing in Bristol
Today/Tomorrow is another Pro Solo, same format as what we discussed with Oklahoma. After day 1, she's 3rd in her class and in the trophies, but has the pace to be 2nd easily. Currently 8th of 32+ women for the challenge ladder tomorrow afternoon. Another chance to win cash.

Cash is only won in the shootout. In OK, she finished 3rd and got $115. Nothing to write home about, but better than a poke in the eye. I think 1st is $500 and 2nd is $250.

Welp, looks like day 2 sucks. No way to improve in the rain, but on a bright note, no way to lose the 3rd place trophy. The shootout should still take place in the afternoon, which she makes it into, and will be on a level field with the others.

They will still run the 3rd session in the rain, but nobody will clearly match their best dry times.

Welp, the standings are final, she held onto 3rd, weather was an issue, and they canceled the entire bracket system due to a health issue with one of the competitors.

End result, she got 3rd, her 8th national trophy, and did not get a chance to compete for cash in the runoffs. They are still in Bristol for the National Tour event which happens tomorrow and Sunday.

You know how to make a small fortune in racing??? Start with a big fortune. We don't do this for the cash. The cash is a bonus.

I spent over $30K last year to enable GWiz to kick ass on the tour in my C8, and she crushed it. She won me a $700 tire.

Again, not why we do it, but as a proud father, I will never forget traversing the country going from race to race with her by my side and in my ride.

Now that's she's in a relationship, with another racer, it's for them to figure out, but you have to admit, it's pretty cool that a 24 year old girl has the financial means to chase dreams on the national circuit, AND do her job. At the end of the day, I'm envious of her new situation with her boy toy.

GWiz and I can work from anywhere in the world.

If it were only about money, there would be no racing.

With that said, I have spent many hundreds of thousands on both cars and scotch, the rest of my money was wasted on stupid stuff!!
