Keeping your skills sharp

How do you keep your skills sharp over the winter? Do you have a portable tree, a hand-held reaction timer, play racing video games, or do like I do - try to nail the guy next to you to the tree at a traffic light?

Wadda U mean "keeping" my skills sharp? They were never sharp to begin with #-o I cut one light last season that should go in the Hall of Shame....a .879 Don't ask how I managed to do that. I really would rather forget it. I prefer to remember the .009 light.

I usually play nhra drag racing. But I really like that
practice tree with the pedals :3gears:

I like that thing too.

I used to play NHRA Drag Racing on the computer, I a steering wheel with pedals, but I found it was easier to use the hand control to drive, especially with the dragsters. So that didn't help.

I try to find a traffic light where I can see the cross traffic's light as well, as use their yellow light as my "stage" light. Once I see that go on I two-foot it, and I try to time the green light so I cut a perfect light. I don't know if it's helping or not, but at least it keeps me in the right frame of mind.
