I'll be at the Baymont Inn. That way I can give my Firebird a good warmup in the morning. Willmington Inn was booked. Thanks anyway. See everyone in July.

Just got our confirmation from Tonya. The Geezer2 will be there. We'll be staying with Atul and the great folks at the Wilmington Inn. Stop and see Brian and John. Hoping for great weather and a light Tail wind.

Well I am winning the build vs time battle so it looks like I will be at Ohio in 9 days with the initial shakedown run for my 1990 Morini Dart 350 prior to taking it to BUB.  It is the bike built by Cagiva from 1988-90 after they bought out Morini.  They wedged the Morini 3 1/2 V-Twin pushrod engine into their Cagiva Freccia 125 chassis.  It is aircooled and has a kick stand and electric start (thank you) and a muffler (you're welcome).  I have entered it in the M-PG-350/4 first.  Then if all goes well I will add the fairings and change to MPS-PG-350/4.  Just need to add safety wiring, number plates.  No paint job yet.  And the front fender needs some modification to be used or it will not clear the tire when it grows at speed.  The only 16" V-rated tire I could find (Avon Roadrider)had a slightly taller profile than stock. 

So no red Honda mosquito to seize on the track, just a 22 yr old Italian....

I'll be there again as a volunteer.  I think Joe has me in Tech.
Hopefully I'll survive a little better than the April meet.  Working the front gate just did me in.
The little RED HAIRED GIRL will be with me, and we expect to have a great time. 
I thought I could have the liner with half the body done this Sep meet, but that looks unlikely now.  Running out of money again.

Good luck to all the racers and crews.

Ken,
Thanks for the check with Ali recommendation ;-)
Just remember that size does not matter, it's how fast you go that matters.....Wait, sorry, now I'm off the subject...

I don't know what the storm on Friday did in the Ohio area.  I know Mark Dodsen, as did many in West Virginia had a lot of trees down and some building damage along with power being out.  The storm hit us in northern NC Friday night taking some trees and blowing out some windows.  No rain, just straight line winds with gusts 60-70+.  I'm sure travel will be fine, but just be aware you may run into some areas still being cleaned up in rural W. VA and Ohio.
Everyone I have spoken to was fine, just without power and surrounded by downed trees.

Columbus area damage from the storm was basically the same, trees down, power lines down. mostly hurt was the north west side.

Power was out at my house for 12 hours, so was cable and phone. Glad I have a house generator, I was charging all the neighborhoods cell phones.

Other places are still out of power, AEP says 5- 7 days... they go long so they look good when everything is back in 4 days.

See all Y'all on the 6th!

Hope all are OK.  We got nothin' here in SE NC and really we were hoping to get some leftovers from the storm - we need rain. 

See everyone in the other Wilmington in a few days (seems weird that it takes me a day and a half to drive from Wilmington to Wilmington).  Miracle of miracles, Mary Ellen is coming.  However, we're renting her a car and she'll be exploring town, taking in the consumer mall in Jeffersonville, and such like that.  But she'll hang out in the evenings, etc.  Kingsford (AKA Knucklehead) is staying at doggy day camp and won't be along for this expedition.

1990 Morini Dart 350 is now ready for the mile though it does not have the Dart bodywork on as initially I will run it naked.  Then if all is well I will add the fairings.

Drive safely.  See everyone Friday.
