Hey all,

I have been approached by someone from the RTA to see if I know anyone who can help them by taking part in a short interview for their magazine Geared. The topic of this article is off-street drags.

Seeing as there's quite a few young people here who participate regularly or have participated in the past, I thought I'd mention it. I believe the questions will cover things such as do you enjoy it, what do you get out of it, what kind of car do you drive, what's your best time, etc. etc. It sounds pretty quick and easy. The guy did say it'd be good if the person could have a photo of them with their car. I'm guessing by this he meant if you could take one and supply it to him.

He said it's fairly urgent, so if anyone wants to participate please let me know ASAP, and I'll PM you the guy's contact details.

Cheers

.....lost my licence for 9 mths...Timm aka Driftr will probably be able to confirm the crazy shit I used to do....

Dude, Tex said "off street drags" ie. on a drag strip, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of "street drags" ie. illegal street racing.

If you still need someone and it won't take too long I'll do it. Maybe ask some of the guys who have posted in the drag combat thread?

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

The guy writing the article has told me it's been put on the backburner for the time being, but a couple of you have expressed interest, so I will be letting you know if he informs me it's on again and he needs me to source a participant!

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
