Early next morning we attempted to set up our pit area with the Buell Brothers, but then the wind returned. “The sun can kill you,” Drew from the Buell brothers shouted, but then removed his canopy as the wind swept across the vast 60 square miles of salt. Under the FIM, the AMA, the BMST and Streamliner separate rule books we attempted over and over to acknowledge, understand and implement said rules. We consulted with Drew Gatewood a former official when shit didn’t make sense.
