DBF Motorsports

I am now disbanding Team DBF. I have begun forming a new team named DBF Motorsports. Why a new team? Because it provides a clean slate with no association to the past. It is my hope this will get us back on line with our team objectives and ethics.

Tuesday Night ARCA

nospam@example.com (Tim) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 20:25:52 -0700

Tuesday Night ARCA will come to a close this Tuesday night (June 24, 2008). I will be limiting, if not eliminating, my racing at Race2Play. While Tim McArthur has been supportive, my team has not. No wanted to assist in the operation of the chapter and those that promised to contribute to the financial side did not fulfill their promises.

With that said, one week from today, I will remove all members from the Team DBF team and abandon it. I will continue my subscription there for a bit to see if I wish to race at race2play again or not.

ARCA Sim Racing

ARCA Sim Racing has turned out to be a failure. While the sim performs well, The Sim Factory does not. With the lack of tracks shipped with ASR (ARCA Sim Racing) came promises from The Sim Factory that the missing tracks would be delivered before the official ARCA Racing series raced on them. To date, The Sim Factory has not delivered a single track for the series that started in February. This, along with some other very important issues, has led DBF Motorsports to with draw all support for ARCA Sim Racing. And to advise everyone to put off buyng it or not buy it at all.

race2play Season 7 and me. (Part 2)

nospam@example.com (Tim) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 05:45:58 -0800

Things have turned around a bit. Not my finishing positions, but, my enjoyment of racing.

I have removed a great deal of pressure from myself simply with self discussion and talking to friends. If there was a definition of trying to do to much, it would include video clips of me over the past couple of months.

I am now working on the mental mistakes in strtegy and operation of the race. As well as trying to provide help for others as best I can. I now find racing a huge amount of fun again.

race2play Season 7 and me.

This has been my worst season of racing ever. I cannot believe the way I have performed. My talent as a driver seems to have left me. A couple of months ago I was regaling wins and now I can't even keep the car on the track. My driving has caused other peoples evenings to be ruined and I just can't tolerate that from myself. I am having thoughts of disbanding the race team and leaving GPR until I can get myself straightened out. This inability to race well appears to have cost me the respect of one of my close friends. While I'm not certain what course I will take here, I'm quite certain my next race will weigh heavily in my decision.

Is this a poor me entry? No, rather a vent of frustration with myself.
