The point of racing is to be the best, like no one ever was.
to catch them is my real test
to train them is my causeThey deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern.
Golf is the same
I guess that makes work the opposite of racing.
Work is like racing with checkpoints. You get to keep going as long as you keep getting to checkpoints on time.
The faster you are the more laps you can get in per day. They’re just maximising their enjoyment of the whole course.
But seriously, you probably know yourself that racing isn’t just the racing part, but the training, mechanical work, the community and traveling and stuff.
The faster you finish the faster you can start a new run.
That’s my bedroom motto.
Speedrunners enjoying video games 30 seconds at a time.
Same with golfing, bowling, darts, etc. I think part of the enjoyment of these types of sports/games/competitions is to see how close to perfection you can get.
Somewhere out there is the perfect lap.
Santa?
Next time I get my ass kicked at Mario Kart, I’m going to claim I was practicing mindfulness.
I had some friends who were amateur racers. They were almost always working on their cars. I think the hobby is 99% preparation, 1% presentation. Lots of time investment for a short race.
And yet due to practice and training you will do more of it that anyone else.
The race is only the record, not the construction.
Are you talking about a builder pattern?
