    Found at racedepartment:

    Send the wife shopping
    Lock the doors
    Bring out some beer
    Get into the cockpit
    Put on the headphones
    And enjoy
    After 6 hours of racing check the door

    Anyone else? :)

    I see from your videos @bsft that your boys also make useful and willing crash test dummies for your various simulators...I bet they drive better than I do.
