Fall wrap up...trailer party!

I'm in between a run of days at the fire department, but the 331 crew and I had time to tidy up the race trailer for the start of next season.

After the last Groovy/Neo race final, clean up extended into the wee hours of the morning and the trailer became more of a dump area than an organized race machine.  Grabbing what may be the last of the good weather Sunday afternoon, we set to task on tackling this mess...
EZ ups, banners, poles, tools, cases of Monster, and box after box of registration and computer equipment littered the space...all in need of a good tidy.

Four hours later, we had built some new storage, added racks, and sifted through 3 years worth of junk we've been hauling around from venue to venue.  Perhaps the crux of the night was winding up over 2000' of flagging that just got stuffed away after the Manatoc cross race.  The dogs didn't help, wrapping themselves up in it while playing...

Finally done...
We did take a quick break to entertain the kids; here's Big L on the street luge scooter.  Think he's having fun?  :)
Wrapping up the night with a bonfire and a few smores, yum...
One more day to go in the FD and then I'm back in the shop(s)...sending out bars/forks tomorrow, gearing up for Martin's bike toward the end of the week.

cheers,

rody
