G's 2012 Race Season

Friday Night Fuckup
I gave myself plenty of time to get the uhaul trailer and get to the track on Friday. My plan was to drop off the trailer and get a good night's sleep in Winchester. A few things took longer than I wanted, but I got to the track at 11. Turned out there was a $25 gate fee, cash or check only. Well, for the last several months I'd been using my frequent flyer card exclusively so I had gotten to the point I had forgotten my debit card PIN. Long story short, I ended up having to drive all the way home to pick up my checkbook. Had to pull over and nap at one point because I was nodding off.

When I got back to the track at 5:30 am there was a different guy at the gate and he said, "We don't accept checks." WTF?!!!!! Luckily the original guy came back and I was able to get into the paddock.

Oh man. So perfectly Gerald. :lol:

Man I thought I had this one in the bag too. Planned to leave work way earlier than I needed to, just in case something took longer than I wanted. Had to finish up one work item before I left, still had plenty of time. Needed to grab something at Coleman, still plenty of time. Got everything done, had time to sit down and eat, still good. Got to the track with more than enough time to get a good night's sleep. Fucked at the gate!

Oh well, should've picked up some cash. The shitty thing is I was $9 short, and I happened to have $9 chilling in the inside pocket in my race leathers. Never in a million years would I have though to check there. That money must've been there for like 2 years.
