    It wasn't me, probably your aged knees creaking again.

    Usually the backing test is one 45 degree back. But they had me test in Denver and there they do it different. I had to do a bunch of different types of dockings and backings. The test lasted 4 hours.

    I am now a backing Diva so watch it bucko. lol

    *stares at you* I know that, I was joking back with you. Look......I'm new, I know I'm new. I'm inexperienced, I know that too. I don't want a spread axle or doubles or anything harder until I get really good at what I already do. *s* I don't want to just be a wheel holder, I'm a driver and I'm going to be the best little old lady driver out there. Eventually I'll do spread axles and doubles. Maybe even triples......we'll see. I know where I plan to go in time and I'll need both spread and doubles. But not now......I'm not even close to ready.
