Jon,
Yes I already have a bottle heater with a pressure switch and it is 12vdc.  I have a line-in plug so it is a simple matter to connect to an external source which I already do in the pits.  However with the reality of the 2-3 hr staging line slowly moving and no pit crew it is difficult to have a generator or large external battery with the bike.  Without electric start on the bike I can barely manage my bike, me, and my helmet!  But I am considering some type of car size battery or generator (with DC invertor) on a rolling cart so that I can move the bike then the cart while in line.  Maybe I should put a trailer hitch on the bike.  Thanks for the info on the battery heaters too.  I will check them out.

We are Registered and My motor is out. Pete is doing some more majic to it. Changing the hood. Changing some body panels. will stay in the trailer I guess anywhere we can park it . I have dear friends that live 10 miles away. So we will just play it by ear. I have stayed at a Campground just out side Waynesville that was great. Just never get too crazy about a place to sleep as I always have it with me. I am just happy that we have a place and it will be good pavement. Have some friends that I flew with,  that flew for DHL and the reports they give are really good. Of course grooved pavement can be a little trickey to hook up on. It takes care of run off but it does reduce the amount of surface that is in contact with the tire.

Bob,

Why does Pete have the motor out ?  Are you still going to run a "B" motor ?

We have both bikes registered and are staying...I don't know where.  They wife/owner/boss made the reservations.  As long as we survive Texas in March we will be there.  Of course at this point we have no running motorcycles. 
Dr. J if we can help you out with the bike just let me know.  One of the bikes will be in line at all times.  Between fearing long 3+ hour lines and having to back down one license catagory on the 1st pass, I'm not sure we will get very much accomplished.  We are looking at Texas to shake down one of the bikes, probably the 600. 
I'm sure there will be a lot of learning going on this year in Wilmington and we will take it one event at a time.

Hoping to hear about camping near the track. I know they have said no camping at the track but they said there might be camping elsewhere on the property.

I will be at the Wilmington Inn starting Thursday eve.  Assuming my registration made it ok as sent it in on day one!  The Duc still has a little exhaust upgrade and bodywork to go but should be ready.

Holiday Inn Express.

Got our heads back and file fitting the rings this weekend so the motor can go back together for the Ghia.  May try to get the lexan and NACA ducts in before April too.  All this is happening while we put our Super Stock Dart back together too so I can run some 1/4 mile stuff this season. :-D

We reserved all 4 dates at the HIE but June could be in doubt due to my sons work schedule. I sent Tonya entries for multiple dates but they are not excepting entries for future dates, only the current race so she is returning a check. I guess its easier on my wallet like that.
