Top Fuel racer Shawn Langdon isn't ready to proclaim himself as a D.I.Y. home improvement kind of guy, but he is certainly stepping outside of his comfort zone in this post-Pandemic world.

"I've learned to be better in the last year or so with spending a little bit more time at home," Langdon said. "Just doing stuff around the house and yard work and stuff that I normally don't do because I'm on the road so much.

At first, the home projects were engaging. At third or fourth, not so much.

"It's refreshing until you do it a few times, and then you're like, 'All right, I want to get back on the road," Langdon said.

Langdon admits he did enjoy a slower pace of life, including more time at home.

"I got a chance to appreciate all things that I'm not really used to doing," Langdon explained. "In the last year or so, obviously, it was being at home so much and you just kind of learned to. I guess things that you really don't think about on the normal weekends that you're gone, you just kind of get done."

"Yeah. I mean, I don't know if I could handle a retirement yet. I don't think I could stay at home that much. It's different for sure. I think you just kind of get into modes, year after year being on the road so much, you just become accustomed to it. That when you get home, it's like, okay, what do I have to do today? You just have a whole different list of things to accomplish. It kind of gives you a different perspective on life a little bit."

Yeah, well  ... cutting grass isn't something he's ready to do.

"I still pay someone for that," Langdon said. "I got 11 acres. I don't want to mow that".
