Racing Ready

This past Saturday was an interesting day.  I made a road trip up to Harris Hill Road (H2R), not for an event, but for some future co-promotion business discussion. There is usually available a back country shortcut to Harris Hill Road, from the I-35 exit #205.  But not yesterday.  The huge quantities of rain from [...]

Many of us are married, or at least in a seriously committed relationship.  Some of us have understanding & even participating partners that understand & enjoy our racing passion.  But others, not.  Unfortunately, I fall into the latter category.  I’m currently overextended on my “kitchen pass” requests!
