I look forward to Norwalk every year. It is a really nice facility and a good, fast racing surface. It makes the 10 plus hour drive much more bearable. Traveling through West Virginia almost to Ohio, things were peaceful when, without any warning, the driver's front tire literally exploded. I thought racing got my adrenaline going but that didn't hold a candle to this. Off into the grass median we went, all 30,000 plus pounds and 55 foot length of us! We were damn lucky not to have rolled the rig over on its side. 2 and a half hours later, we were rolling again thanks to the Good Sam roadside assistance plan I purchased for $79.95 (Sue made me do it, she's pretty smart). I was still kinda shook up when we arrived at the track and decided test and tune was probably not a good idea. Instead, I registered for ET as well as SS so I could get some extra passes on Saturday. That seemed to be the ticket as we qualified #5 with a 10.333. Like last year, Sunday morning found the starting line way more sticky than many had anticipated with bike after bike bogging on the starting line. While I hated to see it, I realized that I was not the only one who this happened to. I raised up the tire pressure for round 1, and got the win. Round 2 had me against Doremus, always a tough racer, and the ET's came in at 10.31 and 10.35 with me getting the hole shot but Dave getting the win light. I guess I used up all my racing luck keeping the motor home from tipping over on Friday, I'll take that over a win every day! See you at Budd's Creek. Stay tuned for more! And THANKS for visiting the MAVRIK Racing pages!
