... I will be resigning myself from the rest of the series as to take some time to practice.
Don't quit... There's no reason to. Bone headed mistake; check. Need to quit having fun doing this hobby, uh, no.
We've all done some pretty sketchy stuff - even in this series, and like was said earlier, take whatever penalty you get (heck, you may not even get one depending...) and move on. I can't tell ya what a shit-show I was when I first joined about 3 or 4 seasons ago, and have improved greatly over that time. And running with these guys have been the most benefit to that, and even though I'm still not fast, I'm much better about my race craft (even though I still have the smooth-brain moments, huh, Gary!?!?

)
I hope you stay, for sure, when you stay on track I can't touch you for pace - maybe dial it down to my speed and give me a chance!!

J/k!!
