Thunderdown in the Underdown 12 hour Recap.

Kraig and I decided to do the WEMS race instead of the Cheq 40 because of the WEMS series points. The weekend started on Thursday @ 5am. I had to go into work and do some paperwork, etc. and then we all headed up to Alexandria, MN. because I had a trade show on Friday. Henry's Foods put us up at the Arrowwood Resort with an expense account. We arrived in Alexandria thursday night and had a nice dinner (thanks Henry's) and played in the water park. Friday morning I went to the trade show while Kraigness, Sarah and Melissa chilled at the resort. I did well at the show - I signed a deal with Tombstone (Kraft Foods). We will be putting in their Kiosk and selling their product in our deli. I saw a new item at the Trojan booth - a vibrating condom!? Look for that in the stores in the near future. Anyway, we finally departed from Alexandria, MN. in the afternoon and headed for Wausau, WI. We arrived late in the evening and settled into our suite. Sarah and Kraig ran and got groceries so we didnt have to do that in the am. We got up Sat around 5am and got to the race site around 6:30am. This was not one of our better jobs at prepping for a race - but we were there to get what points we could. We scrambled around and got to the start line just as the race started - no Le mans start. Kraigness entered the race 1st in points with a 8 point lead over myself with Ted T. (the race promoter) in 3rd. Mathmaticaly only us 3 have a chance at the series championship. Ted did one lap in the race, got his points, and pulled out so he could focus on running the race. Kraig and I needed to place 1st or 2nd to gain any points other than the 10 bonus points. The dude leading won 24-9 so we knew he was tough. Kraig and I were riding together on our 5th lap and we both were feeling like crap. Knowing we had 2nd and 3rd wrapped up, Kraig decided to pay me back from Ferryville earlier in the season and I could take 2nd - beating kraig by a whole 3 seconds. We packed it up early and left around 6pm. Oct 1st is the next and final race in the WEMS series. Its at Blue Mound which I hear is very rocky.
