My lunch consisted of a walk thru Impound and a shaved ice (best cooler-offer I can think of...and it's HOT) so we have a few photos from, surprise, surprise, Impound.

Spirit of Rett is there, but I didn't get a speed.  Had to be fast, tho...he's running in A/BGS with a 350 record.

There's a NICE lookin Production Pickup...

...a Harley sidecar

and a Yamaha 350 with a turbo on it that was supposedly gonna grenade the motor on the first pass...or so the owner told me...and I said I'd much rather get a photo in impound.  And here it is.

We're through tech with Nancy's bike, and now I've got a few minutes before I go hit the pool.

So -- how's the waiting with the biggest-ever pre-registration?  Unh, about 1.45 this afternoon -- we'd been running for around two and a half hours and have the biggest pre-registration ever (note I stress that fact?) -- after two and a half hours on the first day -- I heard the announcement "No waiting to run on #2 course".  It's a combination - long-short course -- and NO FRICKIN' WAITING TWO HOURS INTO THE MEET!!!!

Is the new four-course setup working or what?

Jon,
Are you planning on posting a copy of the daily run sheets (or qualifiers) on here?
