What a day

 Yesterday started out bad. I made a sign for my 1000 lap but it did not pass security check. Too big. I took sign back to my car then drove to WalMart to get supplies to make my normal sign. When I got to the ride just after 8am, they had a power shut-off.
They were back up after 9:30 and I started riding . 6 laps to go. After the race on lap 999, I got out of my car to find several Pit Crew members waiting for me. We loaded up the car with Carlene, myself and Ruth in the front seat and Andres, John and Eddie in the back seat. Found out the car is the John Lassiter car. Red 1. It was a great ride. I held up my 1000 sign in the station and everyone clapped. I also  held up the sign during the whole race. We won the race. Of course we did not race against anyone. When we got back, they gave me a Piston Cup with 1000 laps engraved on the plaque. Also a cartoon poster and a poster signed by the Pit Crew. I also got a copy of the ride photo. I will treasure the signed poster the most. I know I've said it numerous times but I probably wouldn't of had a fun journey to 1000 without the Pit Crew. They have treated me with kindness and respect. I also felt them pulling for me and very supportive. I'm lucky to call them friends. Whenever I showed up at the ride, they always smiled and talked to me. They are the best and do not get paid enough. Keep up the great work Pit Crew friends.

The 1000 ride.

Fun ride

I had the honor of riding with some Pit Crew members yesterday. They had a day off from work. They came to ride Racers. They saw me in the single rider line and decided to wait for me to catch up with them. That was the first time I ever got to ride with Crew members and it was fun. They are from left to right in front row: Carol, Yesenia, and Carlene. The back row is me and Catalina. Now at 969 rides for year. Will get to 1000 on Monday:)

Hank Aaron

Today I rode with Hank Aaron. Alright, only a photo of Hammering Hank. He hit 755 home runs and this was my 755th time on the ride for this year .
I also wanted to see how many times I ride per hour. From 8 to 9, I rode 3 times. 4 times from 9 to 10. 2 from 10 to 11. And 1 from 11 to 12. The ride is currently broke down. So probably will not get on between 12 and 1. But will stay until park closes at 10 to see how many times I will get on today. Currently at 10:)
