It was a great weekend...all the guys did a great job (even Jason's girl friend learned how to cook a pizza on the Barbeque). We all learned more than I think we have on any other weekend we have raced.
I have waited 20+ years to get the opportunity to line up with WJ. I went over to his trailer about an hour before the run and bet him $1.00. He said, "Who gets there first or best light?" I said "best package". He said, "good answer, if you had said who gets there first I would have burned out across the finish line and took your dollar". I was happy to give up the dollar. The goal now is to earn that dollar back.
Jason said it, the highlight of the weekend was hearing about Ronnie. Diane is a sweetheart. She told us about their years together up until the final moment. I hope she writes a book some day. It was nice to see the tribute to Ronnie, RIP.
We have a few more changes in store for the outing in Virginia. More things to try...I just wish we could get out to every race.
Bad Rat
