It’s a chilly morning and people around the track are slowly waking up and getting out of their tents, campers, and vans to start their morning routines. First step, making the trek to the bathroom facilities before firing up the stove or building a fire to boil water for coffee and cleaning. Once you have that beautiful java steaming in your cup, each sip cascading warmth throughout your body you begin to fill with excitement for the day. It’s race day at the motocross track and you need a filling meal. It’s going to be a long grueling day filled with the sounds and smells of racing fuel and exhaust. You love every second of it, but you need a great meal to prepare you for the sweat, dirt, and endurance needed to reach that podium. Your stomach begins waking up and letting out grumbles as you heat your cast iron on the camp stove. A day like today needs the perfect breakfast, something hot, filling and easy to eat. It’s going to be a long morning and you have to get ready for practice laps before the first moto, so what do you make? You make Gravy Boat Tacos, that’s what you make.
