By Billy Rainford OK, I have to admit it, I completely wimped out this passed weekend. I went into it planning to head to Gopher Dunes Friday for Supercross practice, head back again on Saturday for the races, go home for a few hours, and then head to catch the final day of the Corduroy Enduro up in Gooderham, ON. Gooderham is up northeast of Toronto, north of Peterborough, east
By Billy Rainford Next time I say I’m going to drive 12 hours to a race and then turn around and come straight home afterward, punch me in the face, please.

A little late this week with the Monday Morning Coffee. We finally pulled the trigger on getting a new dog this morning. After having to put our black lab “Sadie” down last year and then having our little morkie “Maggie” die a few months ago, we weren’t sure what we were going to do, but then this 4-month-old Aussie Doodle came up for adoption and we just couldn’t resist. “Olive”

By Billy Rainford I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I guess a lot of people reading this now spent the majority of it behind the steering wheel as they made their way across the country to Walton Raceway.
