Glen,

Your a day early.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Dan Chilson crashed in the lights at Elmo today. Said he was talking and banged up. They had to air flight him to hospital for further tests. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Dan is a member of the gear Grinder club.

I saw the spyder there but didn't hear any speed.  I was more than happy with my sidecar.  Ran 130.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

It was a water cooled VW blue lakester, has been over 200 mph. Quality built car. Dan and his dad Bob have both driven the car. Dan will be sore and down for a while with the broken ribs.

Ha, where'd you hear that? The guy was a rookie and made one run....  at 60 mph I think.

BTW we barely made it into the second round, went on wind hold for what seemed like about two hours, and then the meet was called. Ugh f'ing wind.

Nathan i got my info from a friend whose son was at the lake today and told his dad that the spyder went that fast. I had a feeling that the info was incorrect. Does the scta have a class for the spyder or was he running time only.

Nope, no class; time only. Rider said he's had it up to 145 before.
