February Is Special!

So, what’s so special about the month of February? The Daytona 500 of course! AND, there has never been a driver who coveted the Daytona 500 more than Dale Earnhardt Sr… THE original “Intimidator”.  Therefore, in planning for this morning’s conspiracy beatdown the Q thought…”what better way to ring in February AND honor #3 than to visit our very own Intimidator!”  What sounded good in theory, actually looked awful on paper…so much so that the plan of attack gave the Q nightmares on the eve of.

Following a hearty warm-up, the pax were surprised to learn that neither the Super Bowl nor Valentines Day are really what make February special.  While there was no debate that the Daytona 500 is a special event, there WAS great debate & consternation regarding the Q’s plans for the remainder of the morning. NONE-THE-LESS, the morning’s festivities went something like this….

Out of time!

To a man, the entire pax gutted out 5 trips to the tip top, 6-8 trips to the first stop sign and plenty of upper body focused exercises mixed in.  The Q expected vitriol, but only encountered the encouragement that was routinely shared amongst the pax.  Yhc was honored to be with this gritty bunch!
