We left Dyersburg on US-51 South, which would take us right by checkpoint #2, and then directly to the Quality Inn in Millington, just a few miles from Memphis International Raceway. Essentially we could mail it in from there, but it was still a 70 mile drive, and I was feeling pretty wrung out from a long hot day in the saddle. We rolled into Covington and staged our rides up for pictures at 11:00pm, and still 30 miles to go, so I decided to take James up on his offer, and let him drive the Satellite the rest of the way in, I mean what could possibly go wrong in a thirty mile straight shot?

I was surprised that at this hour there were a few guys sitting around on their tail gates watching the cars come in, and two of the competitors were still hanging out taking pictures, apparently they had more energy left than I did!
