this past weekend was the motor GP in Indy. Mom, Wessel, and Robbie were down there for the whole weekend. Corey and I made it down for Sunday. WOW, what a rush! Those bikes were amazing! We left early Sunday on the bike and headed out with it already raining. Most of the way there was in the rain and then once we got to Indy, it stopped... but not for long. The remnants of hurricane Ike came rushing in about 1:00 and it raining for a few hours, but the wind was nuts! It literally blew mom and I over at one point into the bleachers. 40 mph steady winds with 60 mph gusts and those bikes kept going! After the race, we ad to brave the storm on the bikes to get back home. That was quite the adventure. I thought the wind was just going to blow us right on over a few times. Getting aout of Indy was a challenge since the wind had knocked several trees down into power lines and on tree onto a couple of people this we heard from a local police man. But we made it back home and have quite a story to tell.
If any of you enjoy Nascar and have never been to one of these races, I strongly encourage you to go just once. It was a blast!
Some how I managed to get all 4 dogs to sit still in the studio long enough to get at least one half way decent shot, well at least until the cat had to come in to check out what was going on. You could say that the session quickly ended! : )
