Looks like we will be able to get the truck back together after our unfortunate breakage on the last pass...

Thanks SO MUCH to all those who helped us get the truck off the race track after it broke... sorry to hold things up a bit!

Praying for great weather and NO OIL DOWNS!!!

I plan to trek to Texas for their first May meet, and will therefore miss Maxton. I'll be following closely online and the phone, best of luck to all.

Dean, let us know how Beeville is.  We were planning on the Texas trip for Memorial Day weekend, but decided to let them get an event under their belt their first.  I'll miss not seeing you at Maxton and being able to lean on you for answers to questions.  Best of luck there.

Well we went well before we broke and our last pass was a licensing run that took a record, at half throttle for half the track. So we are hopeful for a pretty fast pass next go around.

Well life rolls on. The plant where I work is being sold. If I have a job on May 14 I will have to work the race weekend for training on the new systems at the plant. Oh well on more month to work on the car. Amy is not happy. She needs her "go fast fix" real bad. :-D. Maymaps we'll see everyone in June. Be safe.

Well I was hoping to have my '54 Parilla 175cc bike ready with an engine rebuild but it now looks doubtful.  I tore it apart and found that even though mine is the Sport model it only had a normal head (both valves are 2mm smaller).  So I found a Sport head in Germany and got it here but now the machinist is taking longer than expected to machine the valve seat.  I definitely don't want to rush the details on a bike that's older than I am.
So I will just have to concentrate on my Honda 250cc and maybe run it on Nitrous again.....It is a Laughing Gas afterall.  Just have to recheck the wiring on it.

NO - not unless you're at the wedding in Denver.  Justin Gelsinger (Nancy's boy) is marrying Janine What's-her-name that weekend.  We're taking Amtrak, just for the novelty of it, and will be gone 'til the Tuesday following.  We'll have the 'puter with us, though, so while we can't do any reporting about the racing -- we can send along play-by-play of the wedding and the festivities. 

No, you won't be able to watch the consummation of the marriage! :cry:
