crazy racing superstitions!

[jimmy]

Who else has these then ? just me ?
My orange B4 shell and tractor-noise gearbox were all good, until I changed to a brand new gearbox and I did horribly badly at racing. I was going to change back to the old gearbox since I thought maybe the b4 was punishing me ! but I changed to a red shell instead - and this combination of red shell and new gearbox seem to have pleased the superstition gods.

There, a window into my madness. :jimmeh so, anyone else ?
do a little dance before racing ? put body clips on in a certain rota ? kiss the track before finals ?

:flower:

Im superstitious that I always put the charged cells in my car, whenever I have not done this I have never finished a race, but sometimes I have nearly.

I can't race with a ring on, or things in my pockets, but I think that is more about comfort than superstition.

Firstly, I hate wearing a watch whilst racing, hate it dangling there.

I am ALWAYS ready at least 5 mins before I need to go collect my transponder and as far as I can remember have always gone to watch the heat before with my car and transmitter with me.

Oh... and I usualy double and tripple check that I got everything.
