Runne Racing Cross-Country Trip Begins

[acr924]

About 1:15 (a few hours behind schedule as usual) Ryan went on his way out West. First up to Midlothian, VA to pick up a 20 motah from Gary Pond. Then he should be in Rumson, NJ around midnight, meeting up with Worm, Sled and Greg Lyons and making the long haul to Moses Lake, WA.

We're hoping to have updates from the race on here. We even bought Farmer John a cell phone! He's flying out Saturday to Moses Lake. Maybe someone can teach him how to use a cell phone so he can get up with us...

Good luck guys..we'll miss you!

Mom yelled, "Make us proud!" to Ryan as he pulled out and he yelled back, "Don't I always?!"...sure.

Nationals...........

We certainly wish Ryan a safe trip out there and back, and to also be safe while out there racing. I am sure he will meet many new friends, as he has one of those personalities to attract new friends. I could say some other things too, but I'll leave it at that for now..............

reminds me of

A bunch of DEADHEADS following the band cross country.

BE SAFE.

The pants look they were alive back then. Now I'm not so sure . . .

Safe trip and bring back some wins!

Nope, he was born 4 years after. I've been trying to trade him other racing shirts to get my hands on that one. Would you believe
he wouldn't take two authentic Team-O racing shirts for it??

looks like a fast NEW CSR!!!!!!

...if you're lucky


...And a few more pics you guys might enjoy.

Ryan didn't know I took the first one and when I showed it to him he said, "Safety first."

The second is an inspirational poster that I made for Ryan since he was having trouble waking up in the mornings to work on his (and other's) boats. If you can't tell, that's Jerry David's with his badger hat on Uncle Sam's body...
