Grit Chips and Great Clips are co-sponsoring the August 31st race at AMS

Whilst the Great Clip managers from 127 stores were indoors I was driving the 42 foot behemoth RV around the track YEE-FRICKIN-HA!!!
Got on the track at the beginning of turn 3. As we came off turn 4 the AMS rep on board, Alison a lovely young woman, asked me to stop right on the finish line for a photo op. Throwing out the anchor on the RV is like bringing the USS Yorktown to a sudden stop - it aint happening - so I had to go around again - snigger snigger - that's my story and they believed it.
Did have to stay on the flat on the inside of the track. 40 mph around the turns got the passengers, including my boss/friend a little nervous and zipping it up to 60 on the straights got them a tad twitchy
If the RV hadn't been loaded with goodie bags I'd carefully prepared the turns would have been faster. Having to reassemble 200 bags each containing 1 each of the 4 Grit Chip flavors would have been jolly annoying!
Without that risk I reckon the turns could have been at 50mph and the straights pushing 70.
Of course with less fuel and water on board the RV would have gone faster.
