Intrepid souls they are up North.

There was 1 inch of snow when we showed up at the track at 7am yesterday. It was 34 degrees, but the precip had ceased.

Practice had the track colder than Julie, my girlfriend in 7th grade, ice was till in the cracks and it was rather damp elsewhere, though we were assured that the “ice had been cleared”. WTF? ICE!?!? Bridgestones heated up and did well, but Simon found his chunky Avon snow style tires to be splendid, though lavallee got by him on Bridgestones, an ominous tell of the future of the day…..

Our race was at 130, the sun was shining, the track was dry, and it was a balmy 44 degrees, 54 in black leathers. God help those in white leathers, brass balls are hard to swing in the cold. Excellent race, I think nearly everyone of the 15 entries finished. TimO showed us how to win, and Lav and Simon battled for 2nd and third. Me n cogs battled, then me n Eddy battled and we finished 3,4,5 respectively.

2nd rac e was filled with drama, my bike died on the grid and by the time I had paddled it started, the last bike was making it around turn 1. I gottem just where I want ‘em I thought. Got past the first guy on turn three, another on for, one on the outside of six, and so on. Shellie MAtthews and I had a solid battle for a lap, and Mike Howell and I battled for the last three laps, multiple passes multiple places multiple ways. He pipped me at the line, and  we finished fourth and fifth respectively after Lavallee, Simon and Eddy. Dramas abounded in this race with Fowlinski finding the limit of the bridgestones in four, Marr found it in 5/6, TimO punched a piston and Cogs had unusual issues that put him in 6th. Zounds!

All in all a great weekend, it was good to see Joel out there (cannot wait for that fast bike so we can battle), Bobby looked 20 years younger without his beard (looks about 15), and Fowler’s house is the coolest place ever!

Thanks you guys for a g reat weekend, Jeff and I had fun.
Best
