Whitcraft , Angry Diesel and Atlanta

I thought I was going to have an easy week because Don & Tim at the Pit were servicing the bike and Whitcraft was going to haul it for us, Then Whitcaft called and said his Diesel Van wasn't running good enough to make it to Atlanta, We stayed after work Monday and Tuesday until 7 PM and got Him back on the road, Whitcraft is a good kid and he's practicing and racing on his one and only bike, I was glad I could help him out.

We flew into Atlanta Friday and went to a dealership to do some Leo Vince stuff and most of Team Yamaha was there, Paul Lindsey from Motoworld Yamaha Team seemed excited about the new start for East coast Lites and in the end the had both riders inside the top 10, after some of the tough times Paul's Team has had I was happy to see them turning the corner.

 

Ted didn't race this week because he wasn't fully recovered from last weeks crash, I had an easy day and actually got to watch all the practice and qualifiers, Atlanta is a very cool place and for sure on my list of Favorite Stadiums with some good dirt, I was kind of  bummed TC didn't race because I've gotten used to working 7 day's a week and really didn't know what to do with all my extra time.

 

We woke up about 3 AM AZ time and flew home, unpacked did yard work and got ready for work on Monday.

 

it's a ton of work but it's an excellent Sport and I'm glad to be a part of it.
