It rained heavy AF last night
We had like 3" overnight, they had 5" at Disney
About 60 miles south is an "atmospheric river" at the space center
Might be a shit day if that moves. The atmosphere is super unstable this week, like it's summer
FYI - the semi circle yellow block is a an FAA no fly zone for rocket launches

Oh well....Bike Week may be wet today!
Might sloppy up the coleslaw wrestling a little bit
I could hear the Nascar guys but I can't hear the MX guys from my house.
See if I can hear the RR later this week.
Have fun!
The Shop
Pit Row
The speeds and pinned RPM wears a motor out by the end, and then it's time for a full rebuild, and you just did one before Daytona to make sure nothing broke at 120+
Track eats tires and chain and more
This is what I've been told
They make daytona specific rear tires. It's not actually hard on tires compared to other tracks once you have the specific rear tire which has extra hard rubber on the one side.
(this is from motogp, but i've seen the same thing happen at Daytona)
To get this back on track on RCSX. I'm pretty new to MX racing and decided to do the RCSX instead of MotoAmerica. Cool experience. Huge turnout. I did horrible in the heat race and main event but still a good experience. Way out of my element that's for sure.
We were right along the main road in there near lake loyd. Pitbikes we're insane Friday night till the wee hours. Calmed down a little the rest of the weekend.
Some of the staff were on serious power trips. Some were incredibly nice. Trying to get my parents around in there on Saturday was challenging as they're both not able to walk a ton. We did have our Polaris ranger there for them but the temp gates everywhere and no real handicap parking had them wore out before the mains even started.
Neighbors.. whew.. some people are aholes.. had two neighbors on 1 side both try to empty their gray water. Not a huge deal, but we were downhill of them. My dad even offered to pay for the pumper truck if they were low on cash. After that they had attitudes toward us. One of them even did it again Monday after racing just to be an ahole.
Neighbor on the other side came in a sprinter late friday. Nice people in their 30s living the kidless life. Gave them breakfast we were cooking. After sx tho they came back hammered (which is fine) but about 1am I had to go outside and shut off their big JBL that was bumpin while they were passed out on bean bag chairs lol. No biggie really. Just funny.
Neighbor on the other side if them, 85cc family. They went through some unexcusable shit! Kid fell before the finish line n took a good horse kick to the thigh. He was up on his feet walking and crying a little. Upset from falling while around top 5. Medics made him lay down on a backboard and he said no I'm fine. They nearly wrestled him to the backboard n carried him to an ambulance. Parents were watching n thought they were just doing a quick eval. Then it pulled away so the parents ran to the infield hospital only to be told he wasn't there. Come to find out, thru drove this perfectly fine, but upset, 11 year old to the hospital down the road against his will and with no parental consent. Parents get in truck n it takes 40 minutes to navigate traffic to the hospital 2 miles away.. they go to the ER and they won't let them in.. a nurse did some work n found the boy, all gear literally cut off and other nurses trying to put an IV in him. Kids freaking out n kept saying to take him back to track and his parents because he's gonna miss his last race.. finally a Dr stepped in n shut the whole thing down and got the boy back to his parents.. I wouldve lost it.. the parents handled it way better than me..
It was fun. I'll do it again.
The late-night partying made me wish I were a bit younger. It was a mad house.
