Woke up at 530. Got to race venue bout 630. It was the closet drive to a race ive ever had. But the directions off the website had you turning down a road that had already been closed for the race. so that was a no go..Had to find alternate way. But on a good note no Speeding Ticket this time. WOO HOO
