    This about sums it up...

    Digits: 3 day NJMP trip takes 5

    Saturday:
    7 hour trip plus 5 hours of traffic on the turnpike
    1 trailer covered with tranny fluid
    Triple A thinks a trailer is an RV and won't tow
    1 crazy tow driver thinks I'm leaving my trailer on the interstate
    Made it to Lightning by 8:30 pm (Thank you Gino!) and it was still 94
    4 days to go inside NJMP with only 2 wheel transportation
    0 rental cars available

    Sunday:
    9 bottles of water in the scorching weather
    CCS runs 15 races in 1 day!
    track daily record 1:05.7 - go Eric!
    zero sunscreen (it is in the truck someplace outside of Millville) and zero shade
    1 nasty sunburn

    Monday:
    107 degrees on the front straight, 104 in the shade by 10 am
    2 bikes, at least 1 runs
    3 sessions of riding, not happy with myself
    One delicious dinner, two beers, one massive headache

    Tuesday:
    90 seems cool
    5 sessions of riding
    Better than yesterday but not my best
    30 pack of beer and a bag of grocery on an RR
    Zero people inside Thunderbolt infield
    1 gorgeous golden moon
    0 beer left by 11 pm

    Wednesday:
    4 private cars on Thunderbolt track
    1 Mazda spins into the guardrail in the chicane
    Needed a sweatshirt at 7 am (figures!)
    1 torque converter and 2 seals for $1100
    8 hours traveling home
    Zero leaks!!

    One very welcome bed at home!!

    Thank you to all those that helped, especially Gino for saving me and my trailer from Rte 55 and then moving me from Lightning to Thunderbolt and to Graham for the transportation to get provisions and fuel!

    Now that sounds like an adventure! Sorry the truck puked but I'm glad you were close enough to the track to be able to make it.

    Jane, you're the luckiest person I know...
    Unfortunately a lot of that luck is shit luck!
    Fortunately you've got plenty of good karma to compensate

    Missed you guys!

    Any time Jane.

    Thank you for the beer and the room Monday night. That bed was freaking awesome after the hot day. 9:00 I was passed out.

    Nope...the only true tragedy of the trip!!

    I had a GREAT time despite it all.

    Spent several fabulous days at the track, rode my bike each day, had great dinners with great people, had some cold beers and lots of laughs, etc.

    Is it time to go again????
