adrenalin control

[bernhund]

Can you control your adrenalin? So many times I get out the Nob trembling like a leaf! Today I came up behind a Carrera 4s on the A21, he booted it, so did I. He moved over, I went past. I got home and had trouble standing up!!!

It's not about controlling it, it's about getting used to it. The more you have in your life the more you need to get that same shakey, leg trembling reaction. I find nowadays it takes far too much to get mine pumping or even raise my heart rate. I don't know which is preferable though, an easy buzz or doing stupider and stupider things to get the same reaction. I was trying to see what my heart rate was on my Wales blast a couple of weeks ago, I swear it was only 70-80.

The biggest buzz I have had recently (i.e. years) was driving a GT3 at modest pace around Bruntingthorpe but I think that was a mix of excitement and anger at the instructor who wanted me to change gear at 3000rpm!

Recently flew to California to get my skydiving licence. A day on track still trumps it but I want more every time.

Biggest buzz for me is racing, I've played rugby at quite a good level and have had cup finals, games for promotion etc, but for pure adrenalin you can't beat racing. I get the same pre-rugby butterflies before a race, but once you get strapped in you can feel it start, the more you do it the more you learn to control it and I always remember this bit of advice, "a race can't be won on the first lap, but it can be lost!!". After 40 mins of racing, we are dragged out of the car for the driver change, its all you can do to crawl to the garage sometimes!! great fun though
