Anyone tried taking off your headphones and running laps without that 100db
angry beaver strapped to your head?
I tried several laps tonight with the headphones on the table next to me so
I could just barely hear the highest rpms, and it was very refreshing. I
was going as fast or faster than with full sound, felt like my concentration
on the line I was taking was increased, and my stress level at the end was
much much less than before. Highly recommended !!

I've tried this but personally dont like it. I use the sound to tell me alot
of things about how my car is handling, how the engine is running, if the
brakes are locked, etc. Personally I loose concentration because I hear things
other than the sounds in GPL (radio, tv, other people). But then again each to
his own...

uhhhhh, headphones???

Though Beethoven, Mozart and Vivaldi all have their moments I tend to feel
that Greig comes out on top when it comes to accompanying that sub 9 min lap
of the ring that you are so proud of!

And during a race try Carl Orff's "O Fortuna". Or, given my antics during
a race, maybe the theme from "The Benny Hill Show". :)

That song is *exactly* how I felt Sunday about GPL. :(

ROTFLMAO! I never thought about it quite that way but you are more
accurate
than you know about my "antics" as well. Thanks for the best laugh I
have had
all week. :)

Headphone here too. Only the s..t plug-socket drives me crazy (cannot get high
quality ones here).

I usually use my speakers instead of my headphones because my speakers are damn
good. :) They're the Boston Acoustics that came with my Gateway, but they
sound better than most smaller stereo speakers IMHO!
