My workweek went by pretty quick. I had a rough Wednesday and Thursday for meetings, but Friday was good. During the week, as I conducted business in the lounge, Gary and Doug went through the bike in the workshop area of the transporter.
Craig Treble, who was here for the week working on his equipment, in his transporter, also, came by to help. The ‘crafty’ ones, Debbie and Kim, went out to search for a yarn shop, Yes, a yarn shop! “Knitting nuts” is what I affectionately call them. On the road for 15 to 23 weekends a year and traveling from city to city between each event, you need to have something to do. They knit, sew, and cook. They have managed to uncover some of the most unique yarn and material stores across the United States. Purses were the latest item, but now, I think they have moved on to sweaters.
Here is some of their stash they brought back from a day in down town Indianapolis. Yarn has dramatically changed over the years.
Friday when they returned, we headed back down town. We walked around and ended up at a Steak house call Mo’s. It was a nice dinner and a great evening with friends.
Saturday, we went back to the racetrack to test. We arrived there about 1 and prepared for a pass. We made three passes, and things went well. I think we have it figured out. I know I have said that before, but each time I honestly think it is true!
They were having a bracket race Saturday. On the West Coast, where I’m from, all the races are quarter-mile. Here they were running an eighth mile event and a quarter mile event. I had a good time talking to the racers on the difference. It was split about 50/50. The general consensus from everyone I spoke to, was that it didn’t matter the distance, they just wanted to race. We left the track about 8 p.m. and headed back to Vance and Hines.
We will probably stay here for a couple more days, and then head to Reading. Debbie and Doug are pulling out today and taking care of some business before pulling into Reading. We will meet up with them on Tuesday.
For now that is all … I will be posting again soon.
