Damn, that sucks! I had heard that Kevin Elliot was trying to get the weekend before the AMA races instead of the April date! That would have been real cool!

Go to the little blue bar at the top. Click on PROFILE. About halfway down theres a place where you can use one of the pre-installed pictures or you can link to one from your webspace ( www.photobucket.com is free and allows links). Its right under where you typed in your name.

Here's some more good smilies for ya, to save them to your computer, place cursor over the top of it, right click and save picture to your computer, then use the photobucket to upload like they said, when using it here, use the image button, go to your picture upload, should be an address for link, highlight the whole address, copy with right click, then paste that address in between the two image brackets.

     I figured that with Heartland Park having now been completely repaved we would start having our 1st event there again, like they did in the 90's. I know it can be cold in the morning, but MOST of the time it was decent by race time. :)

That Topeka race in March 2003 was fun.  That's the best opener we've been to.  

That's too bad last weekend in May didn't work out.  Probably because that's a Blackhawk weekend.

At least RA is still on the schedule!

Actually it was from the RRW website, but same result either way...

And in defense of the 8-ball, it never said I should give the throttle a twist. LOL...

I just spoke with a rep at Road America, the ideal May 27-28 date has been reserved for several years by another private organization.  I then asked if any other warm weather dates are available but to not avail.  There are some dates in Oct. but once again you are gambling with the weather.  Also note that the CCS event is being billed as a spectator event according to their website. It is one of nine events with a prominent place on the page and a link to it's schedule. One upside to this is spectator tickets are only $10-15 per day, however winter coats are optional.  If guys want this changed for 2006, (all dates are tentative) I suggest you speak now.  If you want this changed for 2007 I say speak louder.

Ben, why do you go and try to bring logic into the equation? Just b1tch like the rest of us and don't try to solve the issue! What's wrong with you?

Thanks Edgar, so much for anonymity. Worse comes to worse we can just buy out the existing CCS date and force a move, sort of a hostile takeover. Make it in to a run-what-you-brung track day, I would love to go head to head with a GT2 or what the heck a Carrera GT. (Which I ran faster times as a yellow plater) on the "car" track. We could even have a fastest combined shoot out, 1 bike time + 1 car time = your time.  See you at Barber in April.

All is well, cast is gone, on the Aircast for another week, I can't walk without it yet. Although I did jam my right foor in my race boot and took out the street bike last week. After a couple of months I forgot how fast those things are!  I'll start repairing the race bike next weekend and go from there. Thanks
