Over a month late, but here are a few pics from the ARCA Truck Series Season Finale held at Lake County Speedway on October 19th, my last race with the series.
Spoiler:
As previously mentioned, LC was my last race for the series, I honestly felt like the traveling I did just wasn't worth it anymore, even with my expenses paid. I also got tired of getting grief for working a 10-12 hour shift at my regular job and then driving 5-6 hours to make it to the race. It was mostly along the lines of "oh, how 'bad' was your drive up here this time, I know you have such a long way to go." I know they were joking but it got old fast, with most of them having a 2-3 hour drive to any of the tracks at the most. You know it's time to quit when you're a racefan at a racetrack, but you'd rather be anywhere else. I was that way at Lake County. I did the awards banquet the weekend before last as well, and I wasn't happy with the pictures from there(I don't think they were either), but what can you expect when you want people to stand in front of a projection screen in front of a poorly lit ballroom? There's one other issue I won't mention that hasn't been taken care of, but I'm not worried about it. I enjoyed getting to know some of the people who raced in the series, and I'll miss the few I talked to each week we were at a track.
Sorry to rant and bitch, but I had to do it somewhere, and doing it anywhere else I post ARCA stuff regular would cause a shitstorm I don't wanna deal with. As far as next year goes, I'll still be doing the ARCA Racing (the cars) stuff, along with the stats/race results I've been working on for them. I don't get paid for it, but it doesn't suck the fun out of everything at least.
