No sign of Sam in the pits.  Going down to the start line to look for him.

Note to Denis:  It's okay to add an extra day next year just for 'liners.

I've got two computers going.  One for this, the other for that. 

Nice job satisfying the masses out back home.

I doubt Sam would care to take the AMA record all he wants is the FIM World record and he did not qualify for it with his pass from earlier.

If Sam makes another pass it will be a down run and not a return run one would think.

JW,

Any comments from Sam about the Aluminum front wheel?

FYI.

FIA cars get only a single hour to run back through the clocks for the second half of a return run, the FIM bikes get 2 hours...not fair in my opinion.

Noonan, Ive said that for years. With todays vehicles(cars) they need TWO hours for turn around for FIA.

I just donated a page to cyber space on my first attempt at posting. Well, #$&^%$!! @!!, I'll just make it short and say thanks for the next best thing to being there. SSS The coverage is second to none and I can't say thank you enough for the best time I've had for a long time. I hope everyone had the time of their lives!

Ya'll that are enjoying all this frivolity, might think about a small bit of tribute to Jon and Nancy's favorite charity; namely, Landracing.com.
I would suspect a $10 spot would be a fair minimun for the last 4 hours entertainment.  VERDAD?

Mike,

At Speedweek this year 698 runs were made (my count) by some sort of Roadster. I don't think this includes record runs, but not sure. I like your idea.

When would a roadster meet be scheduled?

The salt's sorta busy during the time that the course is available.
