I went through the same deal back when I was running at Bonneville. Late nights in the garage, away from my young boys for weeks leading up to the one week the car got ran. I thought I was involving them because they'd make the 13hour drive with me...only to get ignored for the week because I was wrenching. If I wasn't working on the car I was thinking about what I needed to do the next day. Not the best memories for me, luckily they still talk about the fun they had.

It sounds like you know what's important and even though you got kicked in the nuts all weekend you still have your priorities. Cars come and go and the racing will always be there, your girls are only this age once.

You don't sound at all like a "sad sack", more like a guy that's got it figured out.
