This was a Sunday race and I haven’t done a Sunday since Cleveland, Ohio (remember the super frozen race). Brian caught a ride into work on Friday so that I could drive down and pick him up and head out from there.

Brian and I left to make the drive to West Virginia on 06/06/2014, Friday. We left the house at 5:15 am with all our race crap and a skinny cooler full of food for the drive.
