This is one that takes lots of skill so I would like to see it catch on!  While doing the triple slow race I figured out I had a tire that was almost flat! 8 lbs,  every time I put on the breaks my tire rolled so it would jerk me and I would have to try to get straightened out and rebalanced again! anyway the games lasted till late afternoon!  after the games I took a trip around the campground to see what was going on out in the camps! then back to the big top area to catch the dunk tank! I needed a drink so I headed over to CMA for some cold water! then stopped by the AIM booth and visited with Roach!  then back to the big top for everyone parting of course I have to stop by all the venders! to see what they have and visit with them! there is always lots of partying going on down there! it is also a good place to see most of the people that come to the party! I did try to make it down to the stage area once in a while to catch the bands playing but don't stay long because I I have trouble shooting in total darkness! Also there is a lot more people at the big top than down there! I did go down to catch the Stage Show then back to the big top till it was almost empty! from there I drifted off to my tent to get some sleep! Sunday morning I got up and had coffee with CMA   spent some time visiting with Security about a matter they had! then did some running around and then made my way back to where the bike show is held! I made my way around the bike show and got some good pic I stayed for the awards ceremony! form there I made a big loop around the camp ground to check what else was going on! got some good pic there too! then it was back to the big top for something to eat!

when Io got done eating I wondered over to the Dunk tank to shoot a few pic then back to the big top for a bit then headed down to the stage area to catch some pic of the bands again! if you have ever been to a rally where I'm at you know I wonder all over watching for what is going on! which is how the rest of my night went back and forth between the stage and big top! I noticed the crowd moving to the stage area so I headed that way because I knew the stage show was about to start! I got there about 5 min before it started! but that is enough! I caught a good stage show! then headed back to the big top for a few more pic but for the most part people were headed back to their camps! so it was off to bed for me too! it had to be about 2:30 when I did get to bed so im still trying to figure out why I woke up at 8am! oh well I got up got some coffee and then headed back to tear down! if I get in a hurry i can have my camp down and packed in about 30 min so by 9am I was loaded and ready to head out! I made a pass thru the vendor area to tell a couple of my close friend by then hit the road! the trip home was even less eventful in-that there was not even a speed trap on the way home! just nice cool riding weather and wind in my face! it just doesn't get any better than that! the miles and highway just melted away and before I knew it  the 4 hr ride  was over and I was pulling into my drive way! the garage was open so I backed in and parked! 
         well till next time
