The Racing Season of 2010
The 2010 racing season is just around the corner. Every drivers' working on their car late at night and waiting for that first night of stepping on the gas peddle and making it mold into the floor board that's solid as a rock. The hard work and aniticipation is almost over before the battle begins on the dirt.
After a season of dirt track racing end begins a new time for every driver. The new season pretty much starts just as one ends. Each driver takes off the skin that has been beat up and raced with off of their cars and is replaced with a new one. The new one will have that new and handsome look to begin the new season that awaits. Some drivers even take it to the extreme to replace their engines. Most engines are good up to 40 nights of good hard racing. But every driver has their own way of doing things in preparation for the new year. Like Tyler Iverson of Albion, NE for example. This kid is a, "RACING MACHINE." He just got back from Abalene, TX where he raced and got sixth one night and tenth the other. He was one of many drivers from Nebraska but was the only one to finish in the top 10 each night of racing. Then comes his schedule of this summer in Nebraska. The Iverson Racing team plans on racing at least 35 to 40 nights. Throughout these nights of racing Iverson's finishes will count for track points, local points and national points too. Iverson has been working hard on the car this whole winter to just get it to the maximum set-up so that every night he has the best car and will overcome other cars to accomplish a victory.
The hard work doesn't just stop once the season starts though. Hard work is put in every night of the week for drivers once the racing season starts. Every track you go to you have to anticipate wrecks, flat tires, motor troubles and anything else that will haunt you throughout the night. Everyone hopes nothing will go wrong with the car but you never know what's going to happen. Nobody likes to use the word but "Lucky" is the term for someone who never has to go through every opstical in the world just to get a win. But some drivers are very "Unlucky." That word comes into play just as much as "Lucky" does. Becoming part of those wrecks and having motor trouble and other obstacles in front of you as well are just as easy to come.
The hard work and dedication is just something part of the whole racing hobby. It doesn't matter how much time and effort you put into this sport anything can go wrong at anytime, but something can go right just as easy too. Anything that happens in this sport is just part of the process and when it happens in a positive way it’s a great feeling. All of that hard work and preparation that went into the car and mentally wanting to accomplish something in a night of racing that only one person can do, is the grand prize for everyone, and everyone is after that feeling. Being a winner is every driver’s goal they want. The prizes that come with winning include a trophy, prize money and fans that support you as well. But nothing can be better than reflecting on all that hard work that is put into preparing the cars to really accomplish that number one prize of “Winning!”
