Oh yeah, Camp is about to start.  (yes i know….its march)  time for s’mores and ghost stories, and a whole bunch of new stuff.  Sweet. Finally

Since friedman did so well at het volk, i think he deserves a little more attention. and the topic of most conversations is his nickname, meatball.

while mike is big and round and meaty…this is not where the name came from. but rather the startling similarities between him and the character ‘Meatwad’ on the cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

or

if you have ever watched the show and you know mike friedman you know what i’m talking about. meatwad is very lovable and requires a popsicle every 15 minutes. so does mike. there are many many more so just take my word on it.

Good job bud

as i glance at the calender i see March 1st… a late date for a first race. oh well.  it was really fun though, and good to get it out of the way.  the race was safe and rather uneventful until sundays road race.  first was when race leader John Murphy,  perhaps after ToC, forgot local races have a yellow line rule.  with impressive and blatant disregard for said rule, he was ejected from the event half way through the day.  in all fairness he just forgot.  then came the ever present dangers of the feed zone.  this one converged like the “perfect storm”.  first was a civilian driver stopped on course in the feed zone.  not moving, but his car was no more then a foot off the centerline.  i caught me by surprise as i went by and i had the flash thought “OH thats not good”.  a second or two later that sound of metal on metal.  come to find out… a feeder TOSSED a mussette bag into the field, causing the crash, who’s aftermath hit the car. a few guy were banged up pretty good, but nothing real serious (i think)

so heres to all the Guys and Gals who have suffered the inevitable fate for all the early season nervous races.  get well soon
