I.T.S.A. weekend

I'm a little late , but I always am. This past weekend Barry and I went to Dickson for the ITSA 2 day national event. The weather was to die for with day time temps in the low 80,s and night time temps in the 50,s. Great for camping and riding. At every event we have a camp fire at night for some drinking , playing , singing and just having a good time.
Well thanks to my mother who gave me some corn cobs she had saved from feeding the squirrels at her home in Iowa we were able to get the fire going in record time.
With the fire at full tilt we were ready to start the festivities.

Joining the regular crew Jessie (left) Mennonite Mike (dah) and PeeWee (right) was Terry (Honda shirt) for his first Trials and camp fire. Terry added some new songs and played very well with the rest of the crew. The camp fire is a way to relax , meet new folks and sing along weather you can carry a tune or not. A lot of fun.


But the week end turned out to be all about Barry (Caulkboy) as he got his first win on Sunday by riding his ass off like I knew he could. Pictured with Margret at the camp fire on Saturday night , he got his alcohol blood level just right for the ride on Sunday. Hats off to Caulkboy for a hell of a ride.
Oh ya I got my ass handed to me both days by a Spec who borrowed 2 bikes to ride his first event ever. Oh well it was still a great time and thanks to Bob and the B&J crew for having us.

As someone who has his ass handed to himself on a regular basis, it felt good to get a win. Wow the weather and company was great!

Great job Barry!! It was honor to watch you ride to that 1st place finish on Sunday and I hope you felt it was honor to watch me face plant in section 6, all three loops on Saturday. See you in Marion.

Al Core called and said to go easy on the cobs from now on. Apparently, global warming increased about 20% when you used that second one Saturday. It was a good weekend though and one of the highlights for me was the big win by Barry. Only thing is that he and Trent both look to be all geared up to make it tough on those of us who are sliding fast. It was good to see everyone having fun.
