Nice double DUCKBOY

Thank y'all! It was a truly unbelievable weekend.

We were just going to camp out over the weekend to save some dollars (plus we had the dogs with us). It was pouring Friday night, so I didn't want to have to set up the tent in the rain & in the dark, so we decided to just get up stupid early on Saturday to make the 5 hour trip. Ended up working til 9:30 Fri night anyway. So, we got up at 3am Sat., packed up and hit the road. The final round Sat. night was right around 2:30 am, and after doing contingency and winner's circle photos, we got to bed about 3:30. New race: "The 24 Hours of Carolina". I was junk on the tree most of the weekend. The brain was out to lunch by 2nd round on Saturday... guess I need to quit thinking and let the body do the driving. Got the lucky ones when I needed them. I'd been having trouble driving the stripe against faster cars all year, but this weekend turned out really well. That made up for all the .040 lights!

That place has been *really* good to me!

Got home at 11 last night. I'm whooped. It was worth it!
