Things Best Said

Road Atlanta…

I’m laying in my tent as I write this. Its a bit chilly out and I can’t muster the courage to get out of my sleeping bag. The sun is coming up through the condensation on the window of my tent.

Day 1 was a lot of fun. Gina, Michael and I got an early start. We arrived, set up camp and had some time to spare before the opening ceremonies.

Walking through the pit area I’m like a kid “ooh, there’s Mat Mladin‘s tent!”, “I just saw Aaron Yates“, “do you smell funnel cakes?”

Since this weekend has a Moto-GT race we went to seek out Paul James and his Buell team. Its always nice to hang with the James Gang crew. I basically walked up and they asked if I wanted to help– of course! Though the outcome wasn’t good, however, Jeff crashed at turn 1 after a bunch of delays with 20 minutes or so left in the race.

We got back to the tents and had a few beers with dinner. As the sun went down the louder some campers got. Shouting, engines revving until all hours of the night. Oh well, I never thought we were coming out here for some peace and quiet.

More races today then back home.
