If you're driving home directly from a track day (which I usually do on Sundays), it pays to take it a little easy on your final session or two.
Of course: it goes without saying that you should really pay attention to hydration and nutrition over these weekends, and try to get a few really good nights of sleep leading up to it. Drinking during a track weekend or even a few days before is out, too.

Mythbusters 2013 Episode Guide : Discovery Channel Refer to the "Race car driver can lose 10 lbs during a race" While I don't think they get quite that much in their results, it is obvious that driving a race car stresses both body and mind. |
thanks Jar...it has been cancelled but not located (or used, which tells me it is someplace in my car or jeans pocket etc)...
Tam told me all this but I was so close to home the first time I did the auto cross I guess I didn;t notice. But Sunday! OMG! I am glad my little one was with her sister. I had a horrible time getting home (about an hours drive). very little to drink, NOTHING to eat until afterwards. WOW! if I could do it wrong it appears I did.
Sorry Tam!! I did not listen well to your lessons learned!!
