[diesel_mercedes] Another Fine Day In The Desert [3 Attachments]

 

[Attachment(s) from Nate included below]

The Annual Stateline Supermoto Racing Event was this weekend and lucky me ! I got invited to Babysit my Grand Daughter when Jr. and Michelle were out racing to - gether .

Penny is a bit camera shy but I managed to snap a few Pix .

#1 is Penny playing with her new Pan Pipes from Peru, I bought them a week or two ago and gave them to her to aliveate any boredom this weekend .

Pic.# 3 is the entire Family relaxing between races .

The racing is amazing ! mostly small displacement Motos, 150 C.C. +/-  , lots of kids as well as old guys like me and plenty of Ladies too ! .

Going wayyyyy too fast for my tastes but then, I'm not out there riding so that's moot .

I ran over to Boulder City after the racing stopped Sunday afternoon @ 2PM, of course my fuel filters got plugged up with what looked like _COFFEE GROUNDS_ .

At the time I was blasting down an old poorly maintained road that suddenly stopped about three miles from my hotel....... (insert head banging here) so I had to reverse my travel and back track, the low fuel lamp was lit for over 60 miles, good thing I was carrying two gallons of spare fuel, I never did use it .

I went 406 miles and used 20 gallons of K100 treated Dino based Diesel fuel, my calculator tells me this was only 19.8 MPG (sad face here) although a goodly bit of the miles driven was foot on the floor and some 100 + MPH runs .

I arrived back just as the sun was setting and they were packing up, they're to leave early to - morrow morning .

All the people at the Race rack seemed to like my old Mercedes, old or young .

Penny was happy to have my Brother and I doting on her every wish all day Saturday and 1/2 day Sunday when Tom had to bug out because the freeway was jammed from North of us all the way to San Bernadino .
