Unattached

New look and feel to the Blog for 2011!

So, last year was the first year in ten years of racing I didn't get a WORS Series standing and that was a little sad, but not a huge deal.

This year for the first time in about 7 years, I will not be wearing any team colors, as of now anyway.  The group in Illinois and Southern Wisconsin that I have been racing with for the last 4 years has disbanded for a multitude of reason.   Regardless, I am left without a team. 

So what does this mean really? 

Three things really, no team to hang out with at the races.  Not a big deal, after ten years of racing I know many many people and often just hang out with my old friends from the Green Bay team I use to race for.  Second, my racing points won't go towards any team points, not a big deal either.  Lastly and the one that is hurting my pocket book is the team discounts from vendors and bike shops.  I think I enjoyed those discounts more then I realized as I am looking at buying a new fork for the race bike at full price and some wheels at full price, I am starting to miss those connections.

Unattached means I am not attached to a team. You will see that next to my name more often this year on my race results, it doesn't mean that Aimee and I are having issues it simply means I won't be wearing any NASCAR looking kits while racing this year.

On my Blog this year I am just going to post the gear and vendors I really love even though they are not giving me any love. (Maybe someone will feel pity on me...doubt it) I ordered a racing kit that say "UNATTACHED" on it, which will be pretty funny at he WORS races.  Should be a fun and relaxed year.


PS I will be hunting ebay for all my discounts so maybe I will get an ebay patch for my racing kit.
