Goin' and REALLY Blowin'

With passengers Lorna and Anna, drove yesterday from Stillwater, OK to just south of Minneapolis.  A 10 hour drive into 40-45 mph headwinds the entire way.  A 30 percent ding to our fuel mileage, and just plain not a lot of fun.  The upside:  Beautiful scenery and a lot of interesting stuff to see along the way.
 


Arrived at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, WI by noon, in plenty of time for the start today of the 21st Annual Modified & Late Model Masters 3-day race.  The track looks to be a hi-banked 3/8 mile.  Large grandstands on front and back straightaways.  Should be some fun racing.  Many rigs in the various camping areas which surround the track.

 


Will head to the pits shortly, and let you know how the night goes!

  Last night at Arizona Speedway here in Queen Creek, we ran in the Second of six Heat races - started in the 3rd position .  Casey went almost immediately to the front, winning the race!  Yay! But the luck ran out by the A-Main, which we started in 7th position.  Early in the race we came in contact with another car, got the worst of it with some body damage on the left side, and a right rear tire flat.  In truth, we were going backwards anyway and it wasn't looking promising in the few laps that we ran. Will hit it again today. BTW:  The Late model A-Main was the absolute excitement.  Closely contested by Tyler Erb (Texas), Ricky Thornton Jr. (Iowa), and Jonathan Davenport (Georgia).  Multiple lead changes in a single lap, especially in the closing laps.  Crowd was loving it.  And the place was packed.  Don't have a link, but you might find this on Youtube, or at Dirt on Dirt website.  It's worth the watch. We race again toni...

    YAY!! So Casey won the heat race, then went on to win the Main.  Held off a couple of challengers, then was going away at the finish.  Impressive job of driving.   Next race?    Crandall Texas on the 26th of February.   More on that later.

Just some Random Stuff

It has been a very enjoyable, relaxing week here at the Damsite Campground by the lake in SW Missouri.  Wonderful location, and the weather has been great.  It rained one night early in our visit, with considerable wind, then a day or 2 of heat with humidity (makes you appreciate electricity and A/C!) but has been ideal since - temps in the mid 80's and cooling at night.  Campfires most nights. This campground is full on the weekends, has now thinned out to about 20 percent of the sites occupied.  Grass everywhere, you can park your boat right on the shore within yards of your camper.  Handy.  Swimming, fishing, kayaking (the camp hosts offered their 2-man for our use), even a sailboat out yesterday. Dump station is busy, of course, on Sunday afternoon, but little wait time.  Lorna did get a kick out of this post she came across on a "Camping" website: Well...this is funny, now...being a newbie tt owner, but long time tent camper, I decided to get so...
