Me and my Pee Pants!

The day started like any other practice day… go balls out be the fastest guy ever, in my mind that is, yep that’s me.  We all were fast, but me, faster than all.

So the day ended… Home bound, the fast guy!  Typical routine. Get home and unload the trailer.  As we unload, I think to myself, “Wow I am tired, what a day, I was the man! But unloading all the equipment is a pain in the butt! You know what? I’m just going to do the minimum, put the kart in the garage.  The rest, just stack it up and get to it when I can, after all the PKC Moran race is two weeks away!”

Normal stuff, for most racers, we leave all we have on the track, get home and well, just unpack. We just get tired and unload as fast as we can and grab that last Coors Light before the family notices we are home.

One slight problem… here comes the pee pants!

So most of us have some kind of animal, a dog, a cat, mouse, gerbil, fish, well whatever your fancy, you have one, may not be yours but it is there somewhere, lurking.  Here is what animals love, the scent of something strange! And guess what an old cat in the garage likes it too!

Yes you guessed it down goes my gear bag and my rib vest. Sprayed by a cat.  Being the smart guy that I am, I left my race suit in the trailer.  Well actually, too lazy to take it out from its wadded up state in the corner as I remembered me being the MAN! But the gear bag it was in the way of unloading, so plunk it goes, on the garage floor full of a scent that only a cat could pee on!

“Darn cat, but we love cats! I have a race in a week.”  So if you have been following closely you just noticed that it took me a week to notice that my gear bag got peed on!

If you have never smelled cat spray, then you have never smelled a skunk while driving down the road.  It just plain smells bad and will not go away.  I washed that rib vest with every thing, used Febreez, Animal Scent remover (buy the way this stuff is fake, its all fake, smelled worse and I even caught the dog eyeing my bag looking for Trixie).

So what now… Its time to pack the trailer and head to Moran.  Well so we do what every good person does.  I pack my pee rib vest and head out.  Yeah the bag well, that was just too much!

What do I do, do I tell my buddies that my cat peed on my gear? Well they are my pals they will understand. Nooooooooo way.  Here goes the pee pants!  All weekend long all I hear is, “She got mad at me and yelled at me and I peed in my pants and I never did change my pee-pants all day. I'm still sittin' in my dirty pee-pants!”

Yep, on and on all that I heard was, “Pee pants!”  The moral, as fast as you are on the track a spraying cat is faster and do not leave your gear on the garage floor.  If you do, then expect dirty pee gear and you have to be wearing your dirty pee gear all race long!
