Just a few notes......
Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud!!! When the
skies opened up and the rains came on our carefully prepared track,
it turned it into a mud pit!! Believe it or not, all of the
Driver's somehow still put on a really good show!! Most of the
Driver's and their machines where completely covered by thick, heavy
mud.
When we were setting up for the race,
the ground was so hard and dry that we had to use hammers and
chisels to dig down to set the gates. It took two of us to
carry them out of the truck and set them in place. After the
race it took three of us to slop off some of the mud just to try to
find the nuts and bolts to take them apart and then it took 4 people
to carry them back into the trailer because there was soooo much mud
on them!! Every orange cone, banner, gate, rain coat,
trailers, etc. have to be pressure washed just so we can get them
ready for the next race. We also lost three shoes and a couple
of wrenches somewhere deep in the mud!! This was one of those
time when we got to really play in the mud and no Mom's could yell
at us for getting dirty!!
Well.....That's Racing and in spite of
it all....We still love Motocross!!!!
