racing the mint 400 was/is a big deal, I just said I was going to do it because it looked like a great time, I'm doing that on top of the NHHA, another big name series that I missed out on a #1 national plate in by 3 points last year, and well, since she wants to do her own thing and move thinks she doesn't need me/my help and I'm doing it all solo, a whole bunch of people are throwing in support in physical/monetary ways that I don't think I deserve, the race t-shirts were the idea of the girls in the office lol, and I was only going to get a few made, for family and friends, but one thing has led to another and I'm going to be selling them (cost free to me ) to help support my racing further going bigger and bigger till I get to the grand daddy of them all, the baja 1000, I don't have a "team" I don't have the tools/resources most that attempt this do, I'm going simply with what I have, a few years old bike and experience/resourcefulness that I've gained in well, doing this sort of thing for a while, it is extremely odd for me to be out on a race site and be getting messages from random people I've met that I'm their hero and a role model, I'm no leader, certainly no hero lol, its just extremely over whelming. Sorry dear diary
