Wardy has a great place to play and we used it all. The kid was bummed to be sidelined and restricted to the TTR but the bench racing at night made up for it. I even managed to get enough air to slide a sheet of paper under my wheels (big lois better post the proof).
The kid and I were welcomed in about 9PM Wed night as we got the holeshot. Wardy was just pulling out for the night and the storms were just rolling in. The way it poured I thought about building an ark :eek: but first thing in the morning we walked down to the track to see the majority in great shape (except for the corner I went inside and my rear tire disappeared). When we got back to camp BigLou was tiptoeing around so as to not wake us up. We had the track to us alone for quite awhile and I got to wear my official DRN riding shorts. When we came back up the hill we saw TTRguy and Gospeed were on site as well as The Zoomer clan. Zoomers kids managed to run their bikes dry several times each day as they had their bikes firmly planted on their butts. SFC also arrived and showed us the proper form to put your bike into the mud (I did it finally in the same spot on my last lap of the weekend).
Okie eventually arrived and after getting a butt chewing from the staff for riding in shorts and tennis shoes he started turning laps. Eventually Jaybird , KelvinKDX and Wendy pulled in (how Kelvin aka Jim got Wendy to put the tent up in the dark escaped me but I want the secret to it). Nikki and Red also rolled in and the kids disappointment again surfaced as he would again miss a chance to see how he matches up to nikki's riding (both she and Red are fast).
Friday morning in his best Factory Team rider status Pokie arrived and jumped on his prepped bike and showed the rest of how to ride and ride and ride. Offrodr also came in and started to terrify the woodland creatures regardless of how snotslick some of those uphills were. Friday was a repeat of Thursday- down to the track ride for an hour or so then back up to camp for R&R then repeat. Surprise of the night as we were sitting around the campfire around 10PM JeffAllen drove in.
Sat morning OT showed up and amazed everyone by riding an hour and a half moto non stop :eek: in temps that were killing the rest of us. Wardy had again showed his dedication by grooming and watering the track for us the night before until 11PM (then he managed to join us for some adult beverages). We got a good 4 hours in before it was time to pack up and start home- it is amazing that like dirtweek nobody really wanted to be the first to pull out.
This just got thekid and I pumped for October and Cooperland :aj:
Hope I didn't miss anyone (at my age that often happens) and again Thanks Wardy and everyone else that showed up :cool:
