IT RUNS IN OUR FAMILY

A FEW TAKES, THE FIRST IS AGAINST SURFER GIRL'S ADVICE.  

On race day, it's pretty obvious we're all part of the same family - The Gottapu's.

Toddy Gottapu.
Andy Gottapu.
John Gottapu.

To be sure, we have sisters too... but that wouldn't be polite.

Speaking of sisters.  How about Lori doing her first USAC race?... not the best part... How about her winning?... still not the best, at least for me... check this:  2 miles from the finish she runs over a tack and can hear the sealant coming out her front tire.  Naturally, she goes all out before the tire is flat and drops everybody while she's at it!

This dude kept edging over on me.  There was nowhere for me to go so I gently touched his hip to let me know I was there.  He kept coming over, I was less gentle.  He came over harder, I'm bigger so back he goes.  Then he drops the F bombs and threats.  I laughed.

That's racing.

Props to Celo Pacific for putting on San Luis Rey RR.  What a classy group of racers they are!  If you missed it, do it next year.

Saw some HUNKR t's.  Lots guys wanting to know the next course... and quite a few votes to bring back the Boulevard course as a HUNKR race.  You like?
