WOW might have to do it this coming year looks idealistic for me since i have ran most of these tracks before.

You will never regret doing the One Lap. Little sleep, eat only fast food for a week, flog the car and you will have memories for life.

Hey Derek, what you have to decide is whether your marriage can survive it. Whether you take Amy or not, it's a loose-loose. LOL!

would be quite the experience

Bird hunting in SD should be renamed into bird killing I was doing great until the plants fought back and now my skin is all jacked up. Shoulder did well because I was carrying my shotgun with my right arm only. Then getting out of bed I ripped that all to crap again

Getting old aint easy...............
