RICK @ the RACES (30 Nov 2013)
Long work shifts and very early starts, finaly took it’s toll this past week.
I was out on the road earning my living, on Wednesday when the Cornwall (Ont) and Montreal area had its first big snow storm of the winter. On Thursday, the following day, we had the big freeze and I found myself crawling underneath my trailer dealing with frozen brakes. After working more than 51 hours in just four days, I came home from work that night feeling completely burned out, tired and aching all over. I went to bed early, slept solidly for over twelve hours, and then needed the next day off work to recover.
My racing plans were also shelved for the weekend. I’d planned on going to the Accord Speedway NY for the Thanksgiving Holiday special, that had been entitled ‘The Gobler’. It’s a track I’ve only visited once before, and that was back in October 2002. Check out the RETRO REPORT for that year and read about my trip.
So my spare time over the weekend was spent at home , working on my ‘winter project’, of updating the picture gallery on www.rickattheraces.com. The website was started in the summer of 2008, so I’m gradualy editing my pictures from the years before and adding them . A fresh batch from early 2008 have just been added, so please check them out.
Meanwhile, in my absence fromĀ Accord, Anthony Perrego was the winner.
