Just got back Friday. I was beat and tired of hoteling it so I hauled from Jackson, MS to home here in Iowa about 750 miles.
August 15-24th. I will try to update this day by day if I can/feel the desire rather than waiting till the next week to try to get it all in one thread.
Left from work Friday at 4 for Attica, IN for the last regular season www.xrra.com race of the season. Blazing it down the interstate @ 80~ the whole way. FYI Illinois does not have gas stations every 5-10 miles. I had to go OFF the interstate 12 miles just to fill up, so that burned 30-45 minutes. I just wanted to get there to drink beer with my boys!
Saturday 8-16 was the race. We (Team 555) are not contenders, rookie season, but have networked real well, have a lot of respect and Saturday put on one helluva show.
Wyatt flopped on his side and hit reverse and righted it and finished with yet another flat BFG Crawler. :cry
final race #4 we were in the running to finish all 4 races for our first time this season. Well Wyatt caught a tree and did an impressive roll and almost righted it once again, but it was not meant to be. Crowd favorite by far.
Just an impressive jump from another competitor.
Sunday 8-17
What a day! I was 20 miles out of Indy and stopped for food. NO WALLET!!! Searched the entire contents of my bike 4 times. Nuttin....go back to Attica Inn. Nothing. Backtracked my last 24 hours....nuttin. I put my last $4.34 in the bike and went to the party site from the night before. Nobody found anything. I was getting to the point I was going to have family use their CC at a gas station and just go home. Sitting at a park in Attica, went through my stuff again. Go to pick up my tank bag and see a buldge in the front of the bag.....there it was in a hidden storage spot I had no idea existed (just got this bag a few weeks back). So off I went at about 2:00
Rode through DT Indianapolis, IN for giggles. SCCA event going on, that I hit the very end of.
Stopped at what I called a river walk for lack of better terms to have a Rockstar and a smoke. I have still not eaten today and was getting a bit worn out so I jetted outta town.
In Cincinnati, OH tonight, went and had me some Pappadeaux's seafood and a black n tan.
