I won't make it again until May, I hope to have the new bike ready for track testing by then. You all have a good winter and I will see you in the spring  :cheers:

I didn't say you were ON the high-speed Triumph - just that you had one.  I suppose next year you'll have the goal of matching or exceeding Debbie's speed.  I had the same deal getting my own record back from Jon in the Buzz Bomb so I can relate.

BTW - Deb said she LOVED riding your bike and would really enjoy it for a street cruiser.

Hope we see you on Saturday.  We have some fresh blood - er - new volunteers so we're covered either way.  Poor Joe will have some trainees but I aim to get him lots of photo time.

We'll be lookin' for you, Lon.  I plan to work you like a rented mule!  We'll maybe not THAT hard.  It'll be fun, for sure.

I'm all spent for the year. Plus, I'm thoroughly tired of those Turks after doing Drag Week a couple weeks ago...

p.s. I don't recommend driving 1100 miles in a car that runs 8's in the quarter. It tends to get a little tiring.

Dan

Drive 10 hours, work like a rented mule, drive 10 hours back home, sleep maybe 3 or 4 hours and back to work at the lumber company where I work to work like a rented mule again. I thought racing was a lot easier than that.  :-D

I hope you know I'm teasing you.  We actually schedule breaks for the volunteers so y'all can check out the place, chat with the racers, etc.  We all work hard to keep it fun.

Dan, I expected to work hard, just not like a rented mule.


Yeah I know you are kidding.

Looks like we will make it.  The ZX-8 and ZX-10 have survived all the runs at the throttle Nation Shootout.  Fingers crossed for cool, clear weather and get that forecast big head wind out of there.
