Thanks for your understanding and cooperation, Joe.  But that's not why I'm posting here.

I had Bob set up a direct link to Maxton's weather forecast -- on the home page of the site.  It's now a one-click effort to get the latest, although it's from Weather Channel so you'll have to put up with ads.  But at least it's there.  I believe he's working on the El Mirage weather button, too, so soon you'll be able to check that out as well.

Another minor little thing that makes landracing.com a good site for everyone.  Thanks.

I would agree with that too.  I wonder if there will be a 300mph pass at El Mirage this year? :cheers:

Soooo, I little bit of a change in plans. Won't be able to make the May meet because of a little bit of a complication with some skin cancers that were removed from my scalp. Could make wearing a helmet pretty uncomfortable and I gotta get healed so that I can leave on May 21st for my charity motorcycle ride to Alaska! I always thought all that hair on my head would protect me from "sun damage." (Stop laughing Wennerberg!)  Hope everyone has a great and safe event and that the weather cooperates!

Jack:

Since you've mentioned it a couple of times, I think I'll see if I can get a link set up on the home page of this site -- directly to your blog.  Would that be okay with you and the Foundation?

Best wishes for your healing, and ask your partner if maybe he'll be the new umbrella girl for you.  He'd look good in tights and a tu-tu.

Second post, and this one IS about next weekend's event at Maxton.  I'm sitting here at my mini-storage business, awaiting the arrival of a few customers, and it is snowing.  The white stuff, you know, that many folks think only happens in the winter.  Well, winter isn't over.  The "Mother's Day storm here is not all that uncommon, and this, while not a storm in the strict sense, does remind us up here that it's still too early to put out the summer flowers.  Okay to plant seeds in the garden -- but not time for the petunias. 

And now you know why I'm planning on taking this truck, instead of the Gold Wing, to Maxton later this week.  I'll look forward to seeing all of you there.

Will  be there! Since I am rookie..... I am hoping those who are experienced can help a little - planning to use my stock KIA Spectra, hoping to get my D license, Do I need to use fuel purchased at the meet for these passes as well or is that just for record passes? 
Thanks for the information. See ya'll next weekend.

PS - S.S.S. I used to live in Buffalo, NY - I feel for you! That's why I moved south. I was driving topless in my classic Mustang today! It was only 91 and sunny. So next weekend you'll be escaping to warmer weather!
