A Day in the Life ..of a SL Race Car Driver..part 2

So anyways .....after sunbathing , reading , gossiping , playing gammon ect... i needed to relax some , so its time to hit the Hot tub. Life on the island has been alot of fun . We are still slowly terraforming and expanding upon it .

We share the sim with the city of Herlit a Gorean role-play city , they are very nice and neighborly, we've have had no problems with them at all...well except for the occaisional cutie in a loin cloth coming over for one reason or another ...like i said ....no problems .

By now its Noon SL time , and for me that means 1 thing , my baby Rayne is gonna pop on during part of her lunch time at work . This is always a time of day i look forward to . We usualy share some close moments in her tea house or my house , or the new Koi pond she has built and supplied with some very nice pose balls .

Rayne and i have been dating for over a month now , and have grown quite close , she is fun and loving , a big supporter of my endeavors and just someone who is always there for me.

Classy, warm and stylish... Rayne is what was missing for me in SL for a little while , ive always had close friends since being here, Charmed Daehlie, Khrys , Ronni, Isolone , YumYum, Doll faced Kabuki, Dinee, Tiana , Jafo and others ...but Rayne has certainly filled a empty spot in my SL life.

As sweet as lunch time is...its also short , usualy still giddy and excited , its time for some adrenaline. A quick hop on the swing set will take care of that .....come by sometime if you ever want a good swing , i love my swing set , its good for drying hair , catching bugs in teeth , counting your toes or just plain getting sick on lol.

By now ...its actualy time to get down to business, what day in a life of a race car driver would be complete without ...well....racing cars

First stop.. is the site of the next FormulaSL race, for some intensive Formula1 practice.

The Formula 1 training for me is amongst the most involved i currently do , practicing at the track every day .The league uses 3 tracks (so far ) and the most advanced race cars on SL , created by Les White, these cars have advanced set ups , whose parameters must be tweaked for every track and every race.

They are scripted to burn fuel and wear out tires , so races include critical pit stops , proficiency at them can spell a win or loss, up a place or down a place, it can be quite a challenge at times. Visit Mooz raceway or http://www.racesl.com/ if the premier top of the line racing league in SL interests you . bring your wallet or a sponsor though, its pricey , but worth it.

While im at one of Les White's Grand Prix tracks , its always good to get in some practice on Les' racing motorcycles for the upcoming MotoSL season. While the Formula 1 cars Les has built are the best and most advanced race cars in SL , these bikes are easily the best vehicles created so far in SL period, they drive so smooth and nicely .

Unlike most cars and bikes in SL these arent hit the gas and go vehicles , you need to accelerate (and decelerate) thru 6 gears and a tachometer( same with Les' Formula 1 cars also ) , giving you plenty to think about out on the track, gearing , your racing line , your opponents , plus with these babies , you accidentaly stray from pavement to grass and the bike will wreck , sending you flying .

Im quite looking forward to the upcoming season (MotoSL season 3 ) , ive already been picked up by a team sponsored by DEPO and Chester Orbit, a generous sponsor who has done great things to help sponsor the RaceSL leagues.

Next stop is my first love in SL racing , Fairgrounds raceway , i came here in what seemed so long ago and was immediately inspired to become involved in the racing season here . Run by Suku Ming and Toby Rainbow, if its variety in SL racing you want , this is where they keep it . 2 full sized oval tracks , 1 paved , 1 dirt , that also include several tracks within both sims . A paved large oval, paved small oval and paved figure 8. The dirt track owned and run by Toby Rainbow includes a large dirt oval and dirt figure 8 . These sims are sponsored and part of the Pontiac collection of sims .

The variety doesnt stop there either, Suku and Toby offer 13 classes of cars to race, 6-8 races on 2-4 days a week. Car classes include Late Models (pictured , Nascar type car) , Street Stock, Limited modified, Grand American modified, Mini-stock, Dirt Midget , Go Kart, Pure Stock, Pro Truck , Pontiac Solstice, Dirt late model modifieds, Legends cars and Sprint cars . Teleport into the Garage sim sometime and check out the wide variety of cars available on the vendors located at TP spot .

So finaly another hard day is coming to a end , time to peel out of my stinky racing leathers and become a lady again. I like to put on a nice dress, and get into the arms of my sweetheart Rayne and go dancing somewhere nice , passing the rest of the day with my loved ones..... with another day just on the horizon .... i cant wait . Thank you for sharing in some of the activities that occupy a typical day for me on SL =)
