Thanks guys, I really appreciate the well wishes. Trying to follow the PDRA series has been a struggle and a lot of stress (financially), but I'm trying to make it happen.
I knew I could try to do it now, maybe not the best thing to do at this point in my life because of my income level. Then I thought well, what if I wait and plan to build a career, a home, a bank account, and then years pass by it never happens (racing a series)?
You always meet people who wish they would have done something they had a chance to do, but they skipped and never did get to do it. I had the time, the freedom. All I had to do was work hard. I've been doing that and I'm going to keep pushing. Win, lose, 2nd place, 3rd place, 5th place... I've had a good year and made a lot of friends and memories so far. We'll see how it ends in the next two months!

I didn't buy siding.
