Dang right. Then I could post in there too. Hey Barfield, did you grab that lipstick out of my bag at VIR? I can't find it.
2 weeks ago at Jennings I was on the hill by T10 after the races sitting on my Zuma talking to some other folks out there playing around on the hill. I was wearing flip flops and made the mistake of putting my foot down for about 45 seconds while I was talking. Those SOB fireants ambushed me and about 15 of them bit at once, so I pulled up real quick and propped my other foot down to bat the ones off of my attacked foot. About the time I got all of them off another offensive was waged by a different colony of them on my right foot, so I got the hell outta there, fireants in tow, and didn't get anywhere close to that end of the hill again (nor did I wear flip flops back up there). I've always found the best ant killer to be straight gasoline on the bed, no fire needed (even though it makes it more fun). My dad uses cooking oil. When he needs to change the oil in his deep fryer or whatever he gets it up to temp then carries it out to an anthill, pokes a big hole deep down with a stick, then pours the hot oil down on them, frying tons of ants in the process.
I had a race in moroso last year where I sat my helmet on the ground after practice, put it back on later and fire ants were in all of the vents, crawling and biting me all over the face. I missed that session, little bastards!
My husbands first race. Roebling Road. Got ants in his leathers. We hung them up on the fence and I took a broom trying to beat the little bastards out. Got MOST of them. Not sure how many times they bit him during the race
Be careful of fire ants. I read where people are going into anaphylactic shock from them. More dangerous than racing.
