“Without doubt, to successfully compete, a driver must log the necessary training miles leading up to the event. I think it is also important to include other sporting activities, riding, running and swimming along with regular stretching and weight training programs to reduce risk of injury and to insure my total body conditioning. In my experience cross-training is extremely important as it strengthens opposing muscle groups reducing chance of incurring an overuse injury during testing or competition.”

“As a driver I’m accustomed to competing for long periods of time - not just distance, and the mental toughness that develops from completing long training sessions, whether on the race track or physical training or pure exercise – really pays off during the actual competitive track event.”
