Off to Topeka!
It’s 5:30 in the morning and this may not all come out coherently…
A month or so ago I was walking through the pit area at Barber Motorsports Park. That morning had been a Moto-ST (motorcycle endurance race) when Scott and I started to chat with the James Gang race team from Wisconsin. Over the next few weeks that conversation turned to email and a few phone calls.
So, this weekend, I’m on my way to hang out and, if I don’t mess things up too bad, work as pit crew for the Moto-ST race at Heartland Park in Topeka, Kansas!
If you’re in Topeka (or nearby) come and see the race on Sunday night…I think it’s only $15 to get in the gate.
I’ll post to Flickr and Twitter when I can.

You are going to totally dig working the pits. I got to work the pits at the Daytona 200 about 12 years ago and those growling Ducatis still haunt my dreams
Be sure to make it out track side to work the pit board if you get a chance. There is nothing like being 3′ away from a 160MPH motorcycle!
Have fun!

If you really want to score some points with the team sneak into a competitors pit right before the race and let a little air out of their tires …. !!
