Getting back from practice at the track.....
I was there with RyanC (son) this afternoon. What a buzz!!! Anywhere from 10-20 trucks and buggys at a time. Got to see a lot of wicked trucks running and conduct some business!
Ryan wanted to get the Revo on the track, but it was chaos out there. It got so tangled that we jumped in and started marshalling just to avoid seeing those two young kids getting killed!
I'm sure it was none of you guys, but OMG, people WILL NOT stop giving it the gas when they are on their lid and I'm reaching to HELP them. I got to the point where I would just stand there looking down at it until the wheels stopped turning at full throttle. Here's a tip to those guys....buggys will not flip over if you give it full throttle. And those other guys....giving it full throttle will not uncouple your MT when the buggy you're humping has it's wing stuck in your wheel well! This was practice, not the Nationals! I can't imagine marshalling a big race. They must be insane. To anyone who had a complaint about any of my marshalling, sorry, I'm a volunteer-in-training. If your truck stalled before we got to it, just remember, it was practice.
We still had fun helping when we could. Saw lots of great action, and got to meet Bernie!
Bernie, I'll say it again...Thanks for building such a fantastic facility. We look forward to carpet racing the Mini and On Roading with the TC's. Like I said, stock heavy on Revo parts because next time....Ryan's driving. He'll be the one with the Excel Driving School bumper sticker on the truck.
Good to see the Chitown guys out there today!
Until next time.
