Hey there VitalMX members,
Ricky Dietrich's manager here...due to the hurricane, Ricky and I got ourselves into a lil bit of a situation. Like most of the paddock at the moment, we are all stranded here in Hartford until the airports get going again. We aren't able to fly back to California until Tues/Weds at best, and our pre-booked flights to Pittsburgh are Thursday. So it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to fly home just to fly back the next day.
After much seeking, it looks like thanks to DC, we may have found a lift to Pitt (a one way car rental would be outrageously expensive). Once we get there, we are looking to save funds on a place to crash (and do laundry haha).
So we're asking if there are any racers out there, with a couch and a floor we could crash on during the week. In return, we'll buy ya (2) tickets w/pit passes to the Steel City race. You can hang out with us in our pits...and best of all, train with Ricky during this week if you want, as he is determined to rebound from the roughest of race weekends.
If there are any tracks open locally, we'd even be willing to go to the track with ya for a couple hours on Weds or Thurs and give you some one-on-one riding lessons.
We're making lemonade out of lemons and trying to have a lil fun with this unplanned road trip. Hopefully there's someone out there who wants to join us in this lil adventure! It should make a great story.
Send me a private message or email me direct at htc.nex1@gmail.com
THANKS!

Sounds like a great offer and I am sure someone in the right area should take you in!
Good luck!

Thanks to DC and Co. we had an awesome drive to Steel City. Lots of great conversation and stories. Old school road tripping like the days of box vans pre-flying everywhere.
We got our situation here in the Steel City handled. But we cannot thank all of you who responded to this thread and sent me numerous generous offers. I will be contacting everyone who emailed me with offers and sending you some sort of memorabilia as a huge thank-you for everyone's generosity.
Again, a sincere thank-you to the Vital community. It can get rough 'round these forums at times haha, but when push comes to shove, y'all were more than helpful.
