Dusty Dixon and his team are exceptionally patient with me when I offload a pickup’s worth of tires and rims and say “I need these yesterday.”
I did drop off a truckload of race tires and VW rims on Friday and Dusty and his guys made sense of the notes Bob wrote on each rim with a Sharpie. Crusty picked them up Saturday morning and we’ve got a full set of race-ready tires and rims.
Dusty and Dave Dixon have been helping us out for years. We’ll be using tires this coming weekend that Dave personally grooved for us. I’ve said it before, but we wouldn’t be racing if it weren’t for the support of our sponsors. We’re taking 1107 back down to Dixon & Son on Wednesday for a pre-race alignment. Then it’s off to Prairie City.
I was gone this weekend, but Bob and Crusty got 1107 road mobile. This week we go through packing crates. I’m putting the finishing touches on our movement plan (courtesy of Paul Hartl, who’s much more organized than we are). Roxanne and I arrive midday Friday to rope off space for all four Class 11s racing next weekend. We all camp together.
This week is mostly packing. 1107 is ready.
