Ulitimate Goal
This is my ultimate goal if I can make it happen. I've qualified twice with a 2nd(2003) and 1st(2005) at the 24 hours of 9-mile and would do whatever it takes to be on the starting line come October. I've contacted 24HOA again to see if my 2005 24-9 race(July30-31) would get me in for 2006 seeing that the new qualifying dates started 14 hours after my finish on August 1st, 2005. If it doesn't, the NORBA Nationals here in Wisconsin in July will be the race to get me down to Georgia for this event.
