71 degrees, sunny, a bit of wind.  The wrecker is down at the end of the track, still not cleared to go.  A bit of early Tom Waits on the machine. 
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

Hopefully, for our next visit to a mile event, we'll have a list of vehicle numbers and drivers to interject into the audio when the vehicle leaves the starting line and  before it comes through the traps and speed is announced.  I suspect you don't tune in for music and the sound of my aging voice cackling.  Again, it's the best seat in the house when they're running, across from the lights, the best noises to enjoy.  Lots of good comments on the new track, the town right outside the gates, etc. 

Still, I have a taste for a little salt in my diet. 

One fellow with a Bonneville 200 club jacket here.  Warner Riley.  He came down from Chicago with Jeff Bailey of S&S.  I'll post a photo when back at the ranch.

We decided to load up and head home.  I was at the registration table when they called for fire rescue.  I didn't know the rider who was killed, but the accident made me decide I had a pretty good weekend and could pack it up. 

I ran 147.9 on a fresh 1350 pushrod bike.  My buddy Gene went 210 and got a hat.  This looks like a great venue.
