Today is lapping day, but I think we'll take a pass at it. I'm not sure what the track conditions are but we've had rain all week and they are expecting more storms today.
The weather isn't supposed to be that great for racing this weekend, although Sunday's weather forecast is certainly much better than earlier in the week when they were predicting 3" to 5" of snow on Sunday. When Roger, our team rider, asked about what to do regarding the snow on Sunday, my answer was quick - let's bring the DOT tires or the studded tires!
I'm sure Mother Nature will throw us a bone this weekend. After all, we've been getting rain and snow and hail pretty much all week up and down the Front Range. We're due for some drying out any day now.
The game plan for today is to meet up and load the trailer and truck. We're still about a month away from our racing trailer so we'll have to rough it for Round 1 (this weekend) and Round 2 (later this month). We'll head out tomorrow morning early (4:30AM or so) and we'll camp out Saturday night.
I had to dig out the old tent and sleeping bags and I've sprayed the tent with a coat of water repellent. I've also aired it out - it hasn't seen the light of day in probably 15 years. I am packing everything from shorts to rain gear to my winter hunting gear (toasty warm!). We'll have the canopy with us and I'll bring the sides for it so that we can keep the bike out of the weather as much as possible.
Look for Roger (#555) to be racing in 3 classes this weekend: Formula 40 GTU, Solo Endurance Lightweight, and Supertwins GTU.
Come out to the High Plains Raceway this weekend and support your Geezers!
See ya' at the track!
