Thanks, Joe.  I've been fighting technical problems.  I think I'm back online for the moment.  We'll see when I try to post some fotos.

AMA rule is simple ... all pit bikes are motorcycles and all motorcyclists must wear helmets ... they will eject anyone in violation ... the violators arent kids ...

Looks like they will call a special riders meeting and shut course to communicate the rules again ...

No info on riders for the moment ... I think there is some heated discussions going on at registration ...

Here's a shot of Max's liner.  They ran about 2/3 the speed they hoped for.

Couple more fotos. 

We finally got the opening ceremony fly-by from a coupla A-10s.  They put on a pretty good show...for some guys just out there hot doggin.

And Bo Miller's Team Go Dog Go's Pop Rivet Special thru the lights.

Quick check in:

I can confirm Joe's report about the AMA/FIM issue with oit bikes.  I don't think this guy is a guilty one, but they seem pretty serious about it.

I talked with Max Lambky's team who said they'd been running way too rich and were reloading for another run in a coupla hours.  Good luck to 'em!  Here's a shot of the dual Vincent motors.

Tom Mellor's Triumph Triple blew a head gasket in a big way...and took out 2 of the head studs at the same time.  They're trying to fix it and run again.  More good luck wishes.

The Mtn course had been running record returns for quite a while.  A few minutes ago they finished up and release a whle buncha bikes from pre-staging, where I'm parked at the moment.  It was sorta like the Oklahoma land rush.  I wish I'd had the camera ready and not been transferring files to the computer.  It woulda made a kool shot to get the variety of bikes heading out.  From small cafe racers to partial streamlined to a Harley bagger with ape-hanger bars.

Great job Joe, RTR, thanks again.

Congrats to Greg & Jim, not sure what the old rec was, but 214 sounds good for a 750  :cheers:

Ouch on the trumpy head gasket.  I hope to have my triple ready for next year.
