Something happened today that made this whole road to Summernats feel real.
I finished the rear main seal, took the service truck on its first real test drive to lunch, and while we were waiting on food, a guy walking out stopped and said, “Good luck if you make it to Summernats.”
That alone caught me off guard because I’ve only been recognized one other time, and that was at an event.
Then when we went to pay, the waitress told us he had already covered our bill and said to put it toward gas for the trip.
I started posting all this just to document the journey, but moments like that make me realize other people are actually on this journey with me.
Whoever you are, thank you. It meant more than you probably realize. If you see this, message me. I’ve got stickers for you, and probably a shirt too.
