I will say however, that pretty much since the first day of hanging around NHR I started having nightmares about cars not working right! I can also attest to their pure insanity, but I also appreciate it. Maybe because I've been drawn into it over the past few weeks or maybe I was just insane to begin with. You pick one. We keep saying that we should have mounted a camera in the truck to record everything that's happened on this trip because you really can't write this stuff.
All the mishaps we've taken as just another adventure and tried not to be too serious about it. If anyone only knew all the stuff they've gone through with this whole experience you'd probably given up a long time ago. Every time something goes wrong there's at least one of us though that can turn it into a joke (I'll never look at tires and underpants the same
). I've noticed on here that there are a few people that seem to be a bit down on these guys but you couldn't hang in their shoes, just trust me on this. I've seen it first hand for weeks at a time and you need some hardcore... I don't even know what to keep at this like they do. I'm starting to think that Coke should give them a sponsorship though since they drink so much. Coca-Cola... Are you listening?!
I am happy to say that although we did make it to Vegas and didn't make it in time to compete, we still made it there; an accomplishment in itself. At least for me. I thought we were going to be stuck on Route 666 until the second coming. I fell out of the truck when we got to Vegas yelling LAND! LAND! I may have kissed the pavement once or twice too... Word to the wise, if you can avoid #666, do so unless you need Purgatory time to consider all your Karmic sins.
We did make it here to Indy IN TIME (woah) and tested which I was happy with. That was the first time I've actually gotten to see Jezabelle run anywhere other than to or from the trailer. I loved meeting the variety of racers that are here. I can't remember all of your names, so I won't mention any. I think that's the polite thing to do.
I was completely surprised at the greeting I received; I don't know any of you, but you all seemed to know me. I'm not gonna lie, it makes me think you all are a bit creepy. Just saying! But really, it was nice and my favorite was the one Tech guy who practically bowled me over yelling my name, giving me a big hug and thanking me for getting Drooze and Pops here. I don't think I can really take any of the credit for that. They did all the driving, I just sat in the back losing my mind sloooowly... (really, if you see my Facebook you'd understand)
In conclusion, this has been a wild and hilarious ride. We've taken many, many travesties and turned them into hilarious jokes. I think it's a real skill to be able to laugh at things like that. I've learned so much about racing and am definitely coming to the dark side. Who knows, maybe I'll stick around for awhile and you guys will see me some more... Give Drooze and Pops a break and stop grumping at them; you don't really have a reason. Unless you're jealous of all their misadventures...

P.S. Guy with the beard, who visited us yesterday with the under index joke... you rock for dropping that one out without a blink or twitch. You're a poker face pro! lol
