Day 12: Battle Mountain NV

Things wot we haz doned today:

  • Retrieved the straw bales from the course
  • Retrieved most of the boards from the bridge
  • Eaten a shedload of leftover pizza
  • Retrieved the rest of the boards from the bridge
  • Retrieved the missing "STOP" sign left behind by flagger ["Redacted" - Ed.] last night
  • Put in my expenses claim for petril burned while charging up and down the 305. $117 received with thanks.
  • Finished yesterday's Automatic Diary entry
  • Had dinner at the Mexican restaurant with everyone from the event who hadn't left town already
  • Put some stickers on my new laptop
  • Took two whole photos
  • Drunk tea



That there ^^^^ is Seiran, originally built some years ago by Mark Anderson and Eric Ware for local gal Teagan Patterson, which has been languishing in a storeroom in the Civic Center ever since.  The plan, as I understand it, is for Larry to cart it home to LA and make it raceworthy again - new wheels and tyres plus bringing it up to the new safety standards introduced since it last turned a wheel on the 305.

Mr Google reckons five and a half hours to tomorrow's resting place so the main reason to get up at anything like early o'clock is that the Super 8 stops providing breakfast at 09:00.
