Well folks, it's ALMOST that time of year again where you come hear all excited to see what this circus act is up to. But like every other year these guys are just about as organized as a train wreck. Maybe that's what makes them such a must see. But this year they are more like a circus train...train wreck, if there ever was one.
As you know it's been quite some time since the last blog update. Mostly due to having to deal with the flash mob/riot/rave that happened when we did our story on Big Block. It took a while for the boys to find a place to relocate to since the old warehouse was burned to the ground because of that. They had no idea Block was such a 'thing' with the young crowd.
Since the team had to spend the last month living out of Block's mom's garage since the warehouse burned down they have been forced to eat out pretty much every day. Mamma Block is a great cook but it appears she doesn't understand the traditional diet of endurance athletes so the team was forced to set up a satellite office at Bagger Daves.
With the team now having proper hygiene and nutrition they were finally able to concentrate on the fast approaching 2014 season. In the last week the excitement has been building towards a possible crescendo to be unveiled soon. The local trails have been slow to open, but the late start to the season has been a blessing for the team as some of the Motors need a little fine tuning. Maybe an advance in the timing as well [Editor's note: Inappropriate "retarded timing" joke replaced]. There have been some changes and upgrades performed in the garage over the winter, both in product and personal, and everyone is excited to test them out......or have them tested out....or go and test out stuff.
Last week was also new jersey day, not to be confused with New Jersey the state, or Diesel's favorite album of all time.
Upon their return to Mamma Block's garage at night the guys were greeted by fresh packages of goodies from TWIN SIX, LOADED PRECISION COMPONENTS, GU ENERGYand ESI GRIPS. (feel free to reread that last sentence out loud and shout the bold capped text. Our sponsors will be very happy you did). Everything was so shiny and they all now had some clean clothes to ride in. And with forecasted temps forecasting degrees in the upper 60's to low 70's for the weekend the guys had a spit, shine and shave party in the garage Friday night to be ready for first light.
Early Saturday morning Mamma Block opened the garage door and out they came in search of new beginnings.
So, mark your calendars, as racing season begins in less than 2 weeks. That means only one thing....more blogs with race recaps! Well, that's actually two things but they are one on the interwebs.
