Dumbo The Flying Elephant

What a day. We leave the house at 5.20am to get to BG by 9.00am testing is from 10 to 6. First stop 10 miles down the road is for diesel. Start one pump OK start second pump not OK the hose falls out and covers my pants and shoes in #2 Diesel. I can't think of anything more manly than taking your pants, shoes and socks off at the truck stop fuel island, but I did.

Long story short, go home get cleaned up hop back in the truck, motor home, and have a good day testing with my son and the help of many. Return home at 9.30 pm just completely beat. What a great day we had!

Dumbo put a smile on my face today. Then the sun came out and real hot and made the smile a frown. Spun hard round two. Two stick stock cars F/S and G/S got real loose down track right in front of us round two. We both thought the track crew would stop us and inspect the track, but not so.

Off topic but the motor home refrigerator just died. I worked fine at BG last weekend. Never a dull moment racing!

Only one more fuel filter to check then we load up for
BG and Indy. We are looking forward to seeing friends and foes. Foes are friends that are just in the other lane.
