You folks probably remember Guy Caputo -- he raced at Maxton and isn't done yet.  He also sells goodies for bikes and other stuff -- used to advertise here 'til the economy went kah-flooey.  He's not out of the game yet -- and is busy building a bike.  I've offered him the opportunity to show his build.  it's not a regular build diary -- but you'll get to see quite a bit of what he's doing (if I can figure out how to link his stuff to this Forum).  First attempt is here -- and you'll probably want to just paste the url into the browser on your machine.

You'll see the whole site -- including the folks that are helping him (sponsors, etc.).  I see the first one worked, so here's another link:

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime.  His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.

Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.
