Took Shawn to TN to stay at the Grandparents house and then headed down to Cleveland TN for some crits. This was the worst race I have been in since my last TN race. In the 3 race me and another guy took off on the front stretch coming into turn one the lead moto was not moving fast enough and coming into turn two the other guy went wide with plenty of room and when he came around the moto the official freaked out as I was coming under him. He started to hit me so I had two options, take the curb or hit the telephone pole. I went between the pole and the moto at 25 mph praying to God. THANKS God I owe you one. Also, the head referee was an ass, the course had sand in the turns,there were 4 cars that got on the course through my races and after waiting 45 min. for my masters results I had enough and left. I also found out that the official that almost ran me over was the same one last year that caused a guy to run into a brick wall. He had not been on the moto for a year up until 2 weeks before this race. I have a new respect for the GA cup now!!!!!!
Kellie and I got out of there and headed to Tsali for the night. We came in at dark, took showers, started a fire and opened a beer. Enjoyed the evening, crashed in the van and am ashamed to say did not get up until 11am. On the way out checked out the lake, went thru Cherokee and took the Parkway home. All in all had a great time and pulled off 7th in the 3 race.
