Mike Johnson, Great Guy and Associate Editor at 5.0 Magazine was planning on shooting 1FUN TOY in Atco. We've been meaning to meet up now for a few years. He called early Sat morning to say he was able to get on a plane from Florida ( after Charlie had rip'd through) and that he could get to Atco.. I had spent Friday getting everything ready for the 8-9hr drive from here in Ontario. I jumped in the truck and headed down..
7hrs into the drive, and an hour away from the Atco Raceway, I get a call on my cell from Mike to turn around the event has been cancelled due to an approaching storm system. When I turned around and had to pay "again" at the first toll bridge coming back north I was DUNG $34 US for the first toll because they used my last toll ticket.. With that toll, and about 8 others, a day away from the business, meals, gas at over $210 Canadian alone and 16hrs on the road to get home at 1am, I'm beat, out about $600 and still no Feature Shoot in 5.0 magazine after years now of trying
you could say.... THAT SUCKED MORE!!
That's 2 consecutive possible feature shoot NMRA events I've had to turn around at ... Last year it was the NMRA Nationals at Maple Grove PA.
Hope everyone's weekend went better than mine and Dude's
Have a Good One! will spend the day washing the mud off the truck and trailer and unpacking 'frig'
