Remember, this time of the year the precip is mostly forecast for late afternoons.

If we can get started at 8:30 or 9:00 am,, then we should be good to go to well into the late afternoon early evening... Think positive !!!!

See ya.

This is entirely predicated upon timely arrival of Emergency equipment (namely that dang Ambulance) !!

After being so late last time -- I expect the emergency crew will have had a chat with their supervisor, and maybe Keith and Joe, about arriving when they oughta arrive.

Speaking of this weekend's event -- motorcyclists be ready for us to be strict at inspection.  Have your paperwork 100% completed before you get in line -- or we'll send you back the the end of the line.  No paperwork complete?  No inspection, not any, no way!  Expect the inspection line to move along faster this way, too.

Be ready for us -- so we can get you on the track sooner.  Ta-ta for now.

And I'm part way there.  I left Nancy and the house at abougt 6 this morning -- and only 675 miles later, here I am in a motel in New Philadelphia, Ohio.  I ought to be in Laurinburg before suppertime tomorrow.  It's raining here now -- hope it gets all done by Thursday night so we can have a good day of set-up Friday.  See you soon, everyone.

Just because I am on the left coast doesn't dim my concern and excitement for the people that participate at Maxton this

weekend.

Run fast and safe.

That's all I can wish for for the people at Elmo this same weekend.

Racing is fun, wherever it is, as long as it's this group of people.

Well, the internet/wi-fi here at the Pine Acres Lodge is so poor now that I can't get enough signal to load photos to photobucket, so I can't upload the photo I've got -- of Jimmy Shine being inducted into the ECTA 200 MPH Club.  He ran a 201.199 for his green hat.  The weather was, indeed, poor -- two rain delays, and dark clouds at photo-taking time, so therefore you're not missing much right now.  Maybe later I'll mosey around the Pine Acres and find good coneectivity -- but for now, Jimmy Shine got into the Club today.  Congratulations. 

Lots of other nice runs, no spectacular ones, although I know Wayne Pollack and Bill Warner and Jody what's-his-name (I'
ll hear it for that!) made low-200 (like 230 or so) runs.  I guess I won the ":big air" award for the three-gear wheelie I did on my second run, although the speed was, as you'd expect, not all that good (about 2 1/2 mph slower than my morning run).  Ransom Holbrook tried but didn't get the record away from mne -- although he sure tried.

Debbie will get the logs completed and posted within a day or so.

Ta-ta for now -- going to MacDuff's for supper.
