Apr 24, 2010 - Day 3 Dega

April 24th/25th Storm warnings again today race has been cancelled...both tomorrow. Randi spent the day running around in the wet and mud helping everyone move their tents and collect their thongs. Had the boys next door over for a hot lunch then she helped little bubba get his tent to high ground...always a mom. Of course I don't think mom is supposed to get little bubba drunk...oops. Old fellow across the rode toook a shine to her and brought us hush puppies and crappie for super yummy. Thought the Griswolds had left but have to go...

Apr 23, 2010 - Dega Day 2

Hot and dusty here this morn, bike ride to Lowes and camping world, some shopping.Gone all morn felt really good to on the bike.

Apr 28, 2007 - Race Day - Busch

When I commented to the woman next to me, 'you gotta love Tony!' I...
