On a side note, are doing 3 Mountain Madness next weekend?
Yes on the entire Dixie series. It's 2 miles from where I work and it's perfect for me to work on one of my (many) weaker points-cornering at speed surrounded by people who have almost as little skill as me over the worst possible surfaces in the state of NC........but I digress. Come on out, it's a blast. I'll make you look good.
I would suggest Ace as a first race. My first race was at Orange County Speedway which is an oval like Ace. I'm thankful that was my first instead of Dixie.
I'm hoping to get a furlough to do the Fayetteville crit Monday. If so, that will expend all of the accumulated goodwill I have, so I doubt I'll be able to do the 3 mountain ride. Blood Sweat and Gears is on the schedule.
