Bopper, Stoney, Turbo and I headed out to Warsaw Sunday morning to give the Mid Wast SS race a shot. Saw alot of friendly faces there, Ira from Springfield, Ferman, Peat H from STL, and the one and only Casey F Ryback (only one guy from Team Seagal? Lame). I'd guess around 30 or so racers in all. We all decided to race the "Fast Class" not because we're fast (except of turbo) but because we wanted to do 3 laps instead of only 2. As soon as Mac said go to start the race I knew I was in the wrong class, those guys were fast. Turbo and Bopp charged off to keep up with the main pack wile Stoney and I hung back and tried to survive 3 laps. Bopper ended up pulling the plug two laps in, Stoney and I survived our three laps and Turbo took 2nd over all ( told ya he was fast). It is ironic to think that this was the first time I have ever done this race, having hosted it the past 4 times, and it was also a little sad to think I wouldent be wraseling Bob J or chuging 40's at the end of the day. Maybe thats a good thing.
Tall Oak Challenge is less than 2 weeks away.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to having my balls tied into a knot while people watched in disgust. Maybe we can wrestle after Tall Oak(s)?
BTW, who is the favored winner of this year's race? We all know Turbo is gonna de-pants Fuhrmann, but I wonder if there's anyone out there who can give him the runs for his money?

Is Turbo going solo or is he teaming up with Bopper and Travis Brown to beat up on the 3-man "Fun" class again?
I'm planning on going solo. Who else is going solo or on a team?

I plan on going solo, but I'm starting to second guess myself on whether or not I want to torture myself for six hours. I may have a change of heart and attempt to find a partner.

I'm rolling 3 deep so I can bbq between laps. No sense in riding on an empty stomach. Pork steaks shall abound.

I'd like to ride on a team with someone, 6 hrs. is too much by myself. Anyone interested, let me know.
