Racing has arrived

Brad and I are headed down the 10 towards Houston Texas. We are in Mississippi, and we are making a pit stop in Baton Rouge Louisiana to see my friend Stacey Laird. I havent seen Stacey since the Indy race where Steve crashed. I saw Harold in Dallas in October but Stacey didnt make it that weekend, and I have not seen their daughter Maddie since Indy and she was about to turn 1 and now shes turned 2. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends in the racing community. I am so excited to see all my ADRL friends this weekend, I saw all my NHRA friends last weekend.

This morning we checked out of our hotel in Mobile Alabama, and started riding down the road I flopped my mirror down to put some make up on and there was a big old hairy spider building a nest on my mirror. well for those of you who don't know my boyfriend hates spiders more than any thing in the world. So I said spider and he pulled over on the shoulder to kill the spider well it turned into a ordeal and he wouldn't get back in the car until the spider died. So Brad gets out the Ice scraper and hits the spider knocking it down and into my purse. That wasn't gonna work for me so we had to dump the contents of my purse out until we found the spider.

Now remember this is all happening on the shoulder of the freeway with semi trucks flying by us at 75 MPH I thought for sure we were gonna get blasted. but thank you God we were ok the spider was in my purse and he got it with the ice scraper. This was our adventure for the day. We are rolling down the freeway I will post updates all weekend. Happy racing!!!
