Re: Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway

Alan,
I didn't set foot in a race car until I was a Grand Master so no sympathy here. You can make it work for you as every time you pass someone younger you know they look at the scoring sheet afterwards and think, "Oh crap, that old guy just beat me?! I better up my game!" There's no shame in being beaten by fast young kids or masters racers and only glory when you beat them... So wear the monicker proudly. The two biggest trophies on my filing cabinet are Grand Masters Champ trophies. Hate to tell you how much they cost but wouldn't trade them for anything.

I'm currently vying for a Great Grand Master category for those of us young enough to be in our 6th decade. :-)
