Thank you to everyone involved in preparing for SW and SW@WF. As impressive as the SCTA/BNI events at BSF are, most of us never see all the prep and labor that go into hosting events of this size. I'm fairly sure I will pursue that red hat til I get it or die and I wouldn't have this blessing/curse activity without the efforts of the volunteers who work the events. Thanks again    :cheers:

Wayno, thanks for the reminder about the Motel...this was the first I done after I read the rain out....but you never know, an old farts like me :-D maybe had forgotten

Stan, thanks for the schedule....so I have not move the flight another time (if my timing had be wrong)...which would cost again the "penalty"...

Lynda, sorry for you, no great birthday party with a big dark chocolate cake....

I wish you all a great wintertime - to August...or maybe again July....and latest back in the work shop in February :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Alright,

I could move the ticket for World Finals to Speedweek 2015.....had to pay a small fee for this and the different of the higher cost for the airfair....main season ticket in August are much more expensive as end of September, which is outside the season.

So at last I could work it out this way.

So Speedweek 2015 is in the pocket...now I wait for the schedule from the USFRA....

It looks like it's raining on the salt right now - and there's more to come for the next day or two.  I'm glad we're not there.  We've had enough of salty water and racecourses for a few years.
