Most of the time I spent officiating at a sports car race but since it's based on the OTHER runway of an old WWII airbase I got to see all the fun. The Beer light for sports car racers hits far too soon and I voluntarily grounded myself on both Friday and Saturday. Sunday, though, I skipped the track as soon as racing was done (carefully weighing the probability of my NOT drinking during teardown as exactly ZERO) and made DZ at about 4:20 PM Believe it or not I had a hard time getting a load together!! There were at least five jumpable hours left and everybody was too burnt to fly or had gone home. Fine by me as I was too broke but couldn't miss a weekend entirely. We moved a hide-a-bed instead.... Too burnt to jump indeed.... Talk about addictions Dave T PS: Sebazz are you gonna organize a Minnesota boogie? We could have a Northern Record attempt ...
