Mid Ohio

Welcome to my very first blog posting! I figured I would get a head start so I can keep everyone updated this weekend.
Well, after about a month of anxious anticipation about going to Mid Ohio with the CA Sport crew, I'm only approximately 14 hours and 25 minutes away from heading to the airport. I have packed and re-packed, written endless lists and gone over my rule book about 20 times more than bearable. Everything is ready to go and not even my random, out of the blue case of Strep is going to stop me now. I wonder if Lara and Byron know how to understand Morris Code, in case I lose my voice entirely... :-)
I'm really not sure what to expect as I try to prepare myself for the upcoming race. I have helped out when the races are local, but I've never traveled for this sort of thing. I've also never been such a big part of the team. I can't even begin to express how amazing this opportunity is. I have learned so much already. I had no idea the amount of time and energy that goes into making a team successful before you even hit the track. I have so much more respect for Lara, Vesko, John, Byron, Keith, Mark, etc... than I already had (which was a lot!) 
I don't have a lot left to say tonight, but I'll make sure to keep everyone posted through out the weekend. 

Thanks for reading! I'm off to re-pack my bag for the 10th time!
