She's in line there somewhere!

Wow, have I ever been a slacker. We made it to Indy and completed an entire day of 'test and tune' when Jen's new custom signature helmet arrived via American Airlines (& Michael) - it is gorgeous! And it has now been thoroughly tested :)

*****************

We had a wonderful week and weekend with family and friends. Since we were so busy, you will mercifully get the shortened version.

Most importanty, Jen set a new personal record on her GSXR 1000 of 9.21 seconds in the 1/4 mile. She ran the wheels off that bike while entertaining amazed family members all the while.

One of the motorcycles she ran against in the first round of Pro ET was this beautifully painted wheelie bar bike. The detailing on this bike was fantastic, the bike incredibly fast, and its pilot a gentleman...even after she beat him!

During a rare break in the competition on Sunday, family members gathered under the shade of the awnings to chat, eat homemade rhubarb/strawberry pie, cookies, apples (all provided by our Aunt Sunday - pink hat, far end of the picture!) and drink gallons of refreshing water.

Hey ~ it wouldn't be an AMA Dragbike race without a picture of Jen's 'toe-socks!'

Sadly, all good things must come to an end as Jen says goodbye to her grandpa as Uncle Joe looks on.

I have a few more pics to share which I will post soon, so until then!
