....round when your at the track? First round? Third round? Last round? Time trials? Which one matters THE most? The post about your race rituals got me to thinking,and I remember a fellow racer asking me this question years and years ago..... The first correct answer wins the right to brag that he/she was correct.

Its a closed ended question....there is only one correct answer. If you dont win FIRST ROUND...there will be no other rounds that are important! First round has to always be the most important.

That's too easy...The only round that matters is the NEXT round. previous rounds are past history & there won't be any other rounds unless you get the Next one right

Cuz I've never gone rounds, I'm gonna say T&T "rounds".. Thats where I've been learning how to drive the Dak and figure out whats gonna break next before I decide to try and go for the race rounds..
When you decide to quit, THAT is the moment when you would've succeeded..

A couple of years back I really didnt mind losing in the first round if it was getting late. Back then if I had a long drive home and had to go to work in the morning it was ALMOST a relief... mainly due to backing my rig into the driveway( a pain in the dark, I almost rolled my trailer once)

Mr P......pressure is not the point of the exercise.
It is all about your attitude. You have to have your head in the right place to win. If you convince yourself that the first round is tougher than any other, you will lose the first round every time.

Well I do go into every round with the attitude that I can win and maybe with a better change than the other guy, but it still is the first round butterfly's that cause issue's but I do see your little excersise thing

Which one matters THE most? Every round for me. Dave
DING DING DING!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Every single round is THE most important round you will ever run. Try to never fall into the trap of making yourself believe the first or the last round is the most important. If you attack every round as THE most important one,you have already won the hardest part of this game. The mental part.
On the other hand the last few years the third and final rounds are where I have been getting beat. I'm not a hardcore racer, I just race the friday night club clash street car events. Usually there is still sunlight durring first and second rounds, but the third and later rounds are at night, and I have to remind myself that I react to the tree quicker at night because of the greater contrast, expecially with the LED bulbs.
