Jon's Racers Update: January 2016

Last year was the best year so far at Radiator Springs Racers. I hit a lot of milestones along the way. On February 17th, I hit the 3000 lap on Racers. Almost 5 months later, on July 7th, I hit 4000. Then on November 2nd, I hit lap 5000.

There were also 3 all time one day lap records attained. On June 27th, I got 46 laps. Then on September 28th, I was able to get 47. The best day ended up being on Christmas Eve. I turned 52 laps. I was hoping one day I could have a 50 lap day. But never expected it to happen on Christmas Eve. Most of the day, the wait in line was less than 5 minutes. I do not think I ever want to break that record because it happened on Christmas Eve. And getting past 5555 on New Year's Eve, ended the year on a great note.

A friend told me I doubt myself too much in hitting my goals. Every goal I've set at Racers has been achieved. I know it is because of the support from my Pit Crew friends and even the Ride itself wanting me to succeed. It has a way of testing me from time to time. Seeing if I stick it out on the tough days. And also support from the various Disney Group members. Everyone and everything has a way of bringing me luck and Disney Magic. Hopefully for years to come.

What is ahead for 2016? I really don't set goals at the beginning of the year. But I can say, I'll hit 6000 and 7000 this year. After those laps are achieved, we will see how the year may end. Now here are my stats for 2015:

I turned 2795 laps (rides) on Racers in 2015. That's 395 more laps than 2014. My won lost record was 1429 wins and 1366 losses. 63 more wins than losses.
