Anybody know this guy?  If you watch the video, he has yellow plates but no number.

It will be interesting to follow this story.

That would be cool, my sister lives about 30 minutes from there.  She would kill me for taking my nephews to a trackday.  When is it scheduled?

98db sound limit.  You're not going to use aftermarket exhaust.  I wish him luck with zoning.

Do you have room for 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats and a husband.  If you do, she might be interested.  Oh and one of the kids is Delta Force - Sniper, will pass you note along to him.

I sure would like it, a good reason to visit the relatives.  When could it really be open to run, last time I checked the Winters were pretty long up there.

being an AM has nothing to do with how much money you have.

Probably more like...... 

on the days when they expect a plane to land they call up the farmer who's renting the field.  He loads up Lassie and they open up the gate and herd the cattle off of the runway and onto the back 40!

Hope I'm not the only one here who knows what a back 40 is!!  Well at least SuperDave will know! and Dawn and ??

Dubuque is not that far from Black Hawk, and even closer to me. That would be sweet!  If you build it, I will come..... :boink:
