NickB\'s DD thoughts

Started last season not knowing if I'd come first or last.

2005
First race came 7th - thought it just wasn't possible to do any better. Considered giving up.
Second race came 6th - thought it just wasn't possible to do any better. Considered giving up.
Last race came 5th - thought it wasn't possible to do any better. Considered giving up.

2006
First race - Considered giving up.
Second race came 4th - now it really isn't possible to do any better. The top spots are only there for the ones among us with years of experience. Considered giving up.

Conclusion: It's ALWAYS possible to do better - NEVER GIVE UP TRYING!

Brands, race 1.


The brands DD paddock atmosphere was absolutely brilliant, made all the effort and cost worthwhile, it was exactly what the series is about - if you're put off by the 'out of hours' politics, just come and see how we live in the paddock and it'll change your view completely!
imho

Great post Nick, and well done on your podium. You certainly deserve it and you've proved that sticking with it and working hard can pay dividends. I'm sure you'll win more this season too.

Well done dude
