Eagle Ranch, Collins Missouri

Eagle Ranch is our first race on March 2nd. Yup. I haven't been on my bike since last race, sad to say but it's true. The banquet was fantastic. The food was even better than usual with all the extra lasagna out there and too many cookies to count. It was really great the way they lined up each class so all can see who it is doing battle together race after race. I really liked that. It's cool to see the respect in each others eyes and hear the chit chat about this and that about little battles here and there through out last year. My wife and I really enjoyed that.
I got to see Joe Leaderhouse who beat my fanny to a pulp all last year. I really had dug a hell of a hole for myself by falling behind and not up until on the last lap at the last race where I got Joe by .004 seconds did I earn the coveted #1002 number plate back. Joe did catch me and hit my rear tire just as I crossed the scoring line. (He likes to remind me from time to time that he is still back there stalking me and ready to attack.)
Back at the banquet we both went to sign up for Collins and the Lady asked Joe what number he wanted..."1003!" he said. "Ouch I exclaimed, I bet that hurt!" and chuckled a bit...Then we had to fill out our percentile section and Joe says "whats your speed percentile Dennis?" I says "same as yours hot shot!" Well it turns out that I'm actually at 72.9 and Joe sits at a full 73 percent average. Joe says "well I got ya there Dennis...I am faster than you!!!" I just said DOOOH!!!, as wisely as a guy could.
Oh and by the way Dan could you please explain to me how the first race of the year (2014) Just happens to be March 2nd which is Joe's birthday and at a track that he just loves to run? Oh boy! Pay back is going to be flowing freely I'm sure!!!
Hee hee he....
Braaap!
