I finally got home around 1am! Damn traffic was stupid!

Getting out of Austin was easy, as the Texas DPS Challenger pursuit car they had on display at the track was right in front of us on 130. He was doing 95 so we just picked up on his draft. lol

Once we hit Temple, traffic came to a screeching halt and stayed that way until Hillsboro. 3 hours to go 70 miles. WTF man.

Lane closures all over the place between Austin and Dallas. I was ready to beat people.

It was good seeing everyone I caught up with over the weekend! Ed, no problem hauling Deidra around. Although I think the BMW spoiled her. I doubt you'll be able to get her on the Aprilia now.

I had my co-pilot working the gps overtime finding us back roads to get around all the stopped traffic between Austin and Dallas. Even accidentally wound up right in the middle of the mess in West, TX (fertilizer explosion site). There were cops EVERYWHERE, fire trucks, etc. all over that little town. The streets were blocked off with temporary concrete barricades. Spooky. Made it through, though. One more re-route around a blockage right in Dallas, then smooth sailing the rest of the way, but it still took 2 hours longer to get home than it did to get to Austin because of the traffic.

Sorry I didn't get out to see y'all. This was the first time I've been to a GP with family. I used all my passes on them. I thought it was a big deal meeting Rossi. Then later that afternoon I got to hang out with him while with my daughter, Aimee and Steve (sister and BIL). I thought by brother-in-law's head was going to explode

A few crappy pictures: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A85qXGF1Gq9Ayb

Wow Zoom... awesome pictures. I thought I was lucky to talk to Pedrosa in the parking lot and high five Rossi through a chain link fence last year at Indy. In retrospect... not as cool.

BTW. Who is the guy on the right? Looks eerily similar to my D.O.C. president Chris??

Can't see the pic, assuming its the one of me and Vale. The guy on his left is Max. That's his best friend and personal assistant.

Cool pictures Moira! Bummed I didn't get to catch up with you to say hi while I was in town!

I saw your picture with Rossi posted on FB while I was at the track and I was thinking..well, I won't say what I called you in my head.

I know, I know

I don't usually get autographs. But, I had worn my SIC hat that day. I took it off and handed it to him. He held it for a moment, BEEMED then hugged me. He signed the brim. It tugged at my heart.
