I'll be there!

Last week didn't feel right without a Thursday/Friday night race. My wife kept asking why I wasn't going the race. A week without a race feels like winter.

I also missed Eddy. A week without Eddy is like a week without sunshine.

Oh yeah, Eddie requested that you stop trying to give him mouth-to-mouth after the race. That's not what he meant when he said he was out of breath.

Well... that's taking things a little too far. Eddy and I have more of a Carl/Lenny relationship, but without the icky connotations. I'm Lenny.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenny_Leonard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Carlson



Lenny publishes a newspaper called The Lenny-Saver with the headline: "The Truth About Carl: He's Great." After displaying this, he sheds a tear and states that "it had to be told."

Lenny's vices include alcohol (specifically Duff Beer, which he is often seen drinking at Moe's) and dressing up like a baby. In "Homerazzi" Lenny is hinted to be a transvestite when he dresses up like Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager. Lenny drives a green two-door hatch back, whose licence plate reads "DUI GUY".

A running gag through the series is the possibility of a sexual relationship between Lenny and Carl. When Marge's Popsicle stick sculptures of Lenny and Carl are destroyed and mashed together, Lenny states, "I don't know where Carl ends and I begin!", to which Carl replies, "See, it's statements like that that make people think we're gay".

Okay, we understand now.

Back to business...

Remember, registration at 6pm and race start at 7:30pm.
The race will begin just after sunset, so there'll be a little bit of light left for the prologue. As soon as you enter the woods though, it'll be dark. It will be darker sooner each week too.

How about this for a change-up, you know, since we like to keep it fresh and un-boring out there;

FREE PIZZA!!!

We plan on ordering a few pizzas so that everyone can get a bite to eat after the ride. Let me know if you want to order more for yourself and have them deliver it with our order.
