"The Twizzler Story"

As in any epic tale, there’s a chapter that stands out among all others, bounded with sentiments of courage, strife and heroism.


Shame there wasn’t any of that during One Lap of America but the DC Crew did manage a gross one to tell! The daylight was coming to a close and the DC Crew was preparing to pull an all-nighter from Peublo, Colorado to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Steve Hardy, who was in the driver’s seat of the DCZ at the time, reflects back on that night through "Texlahoma":

So I'm driving, the sun is setting in the rearview and Patrick and I are discussing important things like heel toe down-shifting and where the meat in Taco Bell tacos come from. Then Pat reaches down and pulls out a bag of Twizzlers; my wife had packed them, they make good traveling food. He smells them [so I thought] and sets them in his lap. I'm thinking "Sweet! Great idea" and I reach in the bag and grab a handful. He just looks at me and starts talking again. About ten miles down the road, Patrick talking about gazelles again, interrupts himself with laughter.

I wanted to laugh too so I asked "What's so funny?"

"Oh man, the Twizzlers!" (Patrick, still laughing)

"What about the Twizzlers?" (confused)

Man we have been just talking and for about the last hour, I had my shoes off and have been playing with something on the floor with my toes. I finally wanted to know what it was so I reached down and picked up the Twizzlers. I smelled them and right after that you took a whole handful and just started eating.

"Dude! You had your feet in my Twizzlers?!"

"Yea" (even more laughing)

"Oh well give me more..."

I join in the laughter; it was a long day. We were laughing so hard, I about wrecked the car. About an hour later we hit a gas stop and I give Dan an overdue break in the DC-C6. As I am telling him the story, we’re both polishing off the bag of Twizzlers.

Hey, it was One Lap, eat what you can when you can.

    That could have been the funniest part of the whole trip. Maybe the fact that we were so tired and hungry we ate them anyway, who knows...LMAO
