Here's the story: The computer/streaming system is sitting on the floor of the bed of our pickup. We've switched to the speaker that's back there, and you're hearing not only the CB-- but the folks talking as they walk by and as we hook up the little trailerette and so on. That's the voices you're hearing.
Nancy and I are in the pickup with the bike on the little trailer we use at Bonneville. The pre-stage lines are the longest in the history of Maxton -- up to 3/4 mile. I didn't relish the idea of walking the bike, a hundred yards at a time, all the way back from the end of the line -- so it's on the tralierette and we're in the pickup in soft chairs.
With the speaker for the CB on back there, though -- I can't hear what's what on the radio, so you kow as much or more than do we. Enjoy it - and tell me about it later, hey?
So - winds are 10-18 headwinds and speeds are therefore way down. I'll be happy to make one run this weekend -- get my last turn at the famous "Monster Mile", so to speak.
The party is out here at the track tonight -- starts around 6 at the end of racing. Nancy and I didn't know it'd be out here, so we'll go home (well, to the Crack Whore Motel) for a last-minute wardrobe change and then hasten back here for Jerry's BarbeQue and a bunch of bad jokes and loud people (a/k/a racers). Then it's sleepy time so we can get here early enough tomorrow for a run or two.
In the meantime, have at it, folks. Wish you were here.
