I was scheduled to attend an open track day this past Sunday, and as the article title suggests, within a few days prior, I punked out. Its too bad, because I have been looking forward to getting back on two wheels since the Arizona down time (for me, at least) started in May. Oh yeah, and we got a ‘cold front’ the day before which had the local temp at the track a beautiful 86F.

My track buddy Levon took it like a champ, even though I abandoned him. The good news is that he had another mutual buddy of ours (the guy that actually introduced us) attend as a spectator / umbrella girl. I wonder how Stephen looks in a bikini…actually, I now want to gouge my eyes out.

Speaking of gouging one’s eyes out, rumor has it that one of the locals and fellow contributor here by the name of gothicbeaST was wearing a purple dress in the morning in the pits for a free session. Oh the agony. I will somehow get that photo.

Anyway, I felt bad because we have been going to these together and I backed out at the last minute. I am in the middle of two weeks of unscheduled travel so I decided that being around for the whole weekend, versus only Saturday, was a good choice for the marriage. See, we have a two year old and a four year old and…well…it was a bad week for my wife. Needless to say, I put the family first and did the right thing (as much as I didn’t want to). I even did it on my own without any of her ‘influence’.

Heh – there will always be more track days. I am hoping to only have one wife.
