100 miles in 95 degree weather is never easy.
I'm glad my brother was there to feed us each lap or superweek would have been an even bigger dissappointment for me.

This is supposed to be the hardest stage of superweek, it really wasnt that hard once the race started, but getting there proved to be a problem
1) When getting into my car to leave for the race Tim Swain calls me from his hotel 20 min away to tell me his car wont start and he needs me to pick him up, not a problem.
2) I get to the exit where he is and he calls again to tell me he doenst need me to come, too late.
3) I follow Tim as he goes the wrong way to the race race = us 20 mins away from the right race with 15 min until it starts.
4) we pass a cop going about 90 in a 50, not good, we get away, good......my wagon hit somewhere in the range of 110mph and 2 way road NASCAR!!!!!
5) I was pretty sure we were gonna go back in time at 88mph
6) we get to the race it starts late, I get 65 miles into the race and some no talent clown from the Nature valley team takes me out, it was so stupid it was unbeliveable, race over, blahhhhh....so thats why the call it stupidweek, i never knew.
