8-26-2010-.. Left home with all my ducks in a row, truck running great and every trick i know of done. Two days into the trip i start feeling just a bit off...? We keep driving the 2200 miles almost hitting every rest stop with bad flu like symptoms.
....... Get there Sunday at about 4:00 to a field of racers from all over the country. We are number 126---Now feeling very very bad we hit the motel.Up half the night. Wake up Monday morning sicker than a dog... Get to field about 11:00 am-- I don't even have the energy to make it over to see Harold for my tech card but the wife does, thanks god. Back to the motel. Up all night again and no better on Tuesday and the wife now starting to feel the same. About noon we decide that we are in no shape to give the 125% it takes to run this race. Pulling out of the gate was the lowest thing I have ever done. Now a week later this is the first time i have logged on--. That's it, a 4500 mile trip with the wife just so we both can be sick together.
