Wednesday
Temps in the mid 30’s still. After breakfast we had free ride for a couple of hours. I had to take it easy due to fatigue and soreness.
I worked on some of the drills from the previous day. We finished up the curriculum before lunch. After lunch we had some pistol practice. I had never shot a pistol with a silencer. Way cool for sure. :cool

Randy Krummenacher is a Swiss Moto 2 racer. He is really fast out here as it is his 3rd time to visit the camp. Randy usually takes first or second in each race. The top guys are smooth around these tracks but what I notice the most from them is they consistently make fewer mistakes per lap than the rest.
After shooting we went into fun races. I determined that I would not miss participating in anymore races. This resulted in a steady diet of ibuprofen . We rode a relay race made up of 5 teams of 5 riders. We had to carry a red shop cloth as the “baton”. Each rider rode 2 laps then pitted and passed the baton. The normal space for stowing the rag was under the seat front. My team was leading until the last lap of the last rider when the rider dropped the rag mid track and did not realize it. We finished last after that.
We then started some short track flat track races under the pavilion using the same format as mentioned before. I was gridded in the 3rd head and ended up taking 3rd which sent me to semi #2. From semi #2 I finished 2nd which sent me to the B main. What a blast short track flat track is. By dinner we were famished. I would have ate the ass end out of a dead rhino at that point
. With Thursday being an off day Colin and staff decided to head to the bar and enjoy some extra activities. Interesting to hang out with the guys and see they are just like the rest of us. Only one guy ended up heaving in the bathroom :green.
Colin and Merle playing pool.
Got back to camp after the bar closed and drank with the guys until 4:00 am when I couldn’t hang no more. I was called a puss by the last 2 standing one staff member and a crazy Canadian :laughing.
