Charlotte, New York Next Weekend

After a season away from the races, I've got a full slate next weekend as I travel for the GNCC race north of Charlotte next Saturday. Immediately after the race, I head to the Charlotte airport for a flight into Newark, NJ for the NEATV (New England ATV) motocross race on Sunday. We are a sponsor of the series and haven't had representation there all season.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, but travel from the West Coast to East eats up a lot of time. Flying from SoCal to NC is like a fat guy at the buffet, gobbling up all my time on Friday. I get in around 9 p.m. after leaving here at noon.

Saturday will be fun. I used to attend about four to five GNCC races a year, and this is my first one this season. We will clinch our second championship in the Women's class, which gets a lot of publicity, so it's good to be there to celebrate.

Sunday is more of a meet and greet to get to know the series promoter and several of our support racers. I'm also on the hunt for some talent to ride Orange next year, so we'll see what turns up.

After the race, I'm off to Albany, NY, 100 miles north of Walden so I can visit a Husaberg dealer early Monday morning before flying back to San Diego. It should be an action filled three days that's for sure.
