The City of Beeville, Texas held a special council meeting today (1/16/2012) in reference to voting to utilize hotel/motel tax funds to offset the increased premium needed for the $50,000,000 insurance requirement imposed by Chase Field's Business Development Authority (BDA). The City Council voted unanimously to approve the use of $71,449.00 to offset the extensive premium required. The Texas Mile has been providing a significant economic impact to the area for the past nine years.
The Texas Mile Staff thanks the City of Beeville and officials that made this a priority. The City of Beeville has been a huge supporter of The Texas Mile and continues to demonstrate their desire to welcome us and the economic and PR impact we provide.
Now to what you all really want to hear: With this great news from the City of Beeville, we are ready to launch

Looking forward to Texas. Only one bike coming with us and it will be the Zx-6. It's still in pieces, but coming along well.

I knew I could count on my good friend Karl to get this together ... I am sure he called in all his political contacts to get this done.

The BSB is coming along, slowly. I got the lowered forks on the other day. I am hoping to get it to JC's the first week in Feb.
