Who needs plans? : Washougal 2011

Thanks to another Facebook contest I got 2 tickets for Washougal MX, only catch did not know if I had them until the morning before the race. Short notice on a 9+ hour drive makes for an interesting trip. So my brother and I jumped in the car and drove. Since we didn’t get going too early, and decided to make several stops along the way we ended up pulling in around 1:30am on race day. The moon was close to full and it was pretty exciting to be parked in the trees with just the moon lighting the track. So much for sleeping in the truck, or sleeping at all). I think I got less than 4 hours sleep before I was wide awake again. The sun was behind the trees and the grass and track was damp from the dew. the great racing made it well worth the trip!
