A Couple of Reminders

I have this thing for noticing trends that happen on TR and around the Tampa area over the years so here are a couple of reminders:

1. It is Spring Break time, lock down your Honda/Acuras.

Every year I see the theft rate of cars and their parts increase at this time. I don't know if it is because the thieves have free time coming up or what but this time of the year it happens. This also occurs when school lets out for Summer and Christmas break, so heads up.

2. Cops break up all the local street meet/racing events.

Every year around this time they go out, block off the exit roads and hand out lots of tickets and sometimes make arrests. 78th is always the one that gets busted and then next up is the Causway.

Anyone else notice trends?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
