This was the first day that Rocky made a run down the track. I decided to start the day at the 6 mile timing section to be able to see Rocky at speed. I was able to see a the Spirit of Rett at speed. Afterwards I decided it was more fun to be at the start and chase him down the course.

Preparing for another start. Hoping the it will not lean so much this time. (A bad tire caused a few runs to go south.)

Brother Buddy give an assist.
