Double Duty

I'm glad i'm a recreational runner, beacuse with my new gig of co announcing with Bobby Chaffee @ THR and racing, i am back and forth, like some of my guys here at work say... "como calzon de puta", i will NOT translate. Ask someone who speaks spanish to translate. But it is pretty cool, many outfit changes though, and thanks to Budweiser for those bad ass caps they provide us..
on the track, i knew it was spring, i got planted twice! in the heat we looked good, led that and even with the wide track i got moved... then spun but gathered it in and did ok. in the main well, we were ok, somewhere around 6-7th place, got drilled and spun then run into head on..
yes i was pissed, and the front side of the sizzlin 7 in pretty trashed, we pulled it apart yesterday AM.... we'll figure out how to sturdy that baby up. i need a carburator if anyone has one for loan???!!!
opening ceremonies were cool, we honored Mr. Jim Reeder, a staple there, and Mary Ann's dad Jake Wallace who is one of my heros, I left out Saturday that one of the things I am most proud of....if you look at pictures from my first main event win in 96 @ Longhorn you see Jake Wallace standing there with me and my family, that is bad ass! I grew up watching that man and there he is with me in victory lane smiling! and our other great friend Shawn Grimland, #29... we lost him way too soon, great guy with a big heart. if the "big dog" liked you, you had a friend for life in him.
Tracy gettin ready for Cap 10K next Sunday... she is progressing sooo well as a runner, the race will be a breeze.

alright, we'll talk nascar and brackets later.........
