Topeka was awesome!  The bike I shared came fourth in class, due more to the misfortune of others than my own superior riging skills. (cough, cough....)  The team appreciated my ability to endure and has asked me to do the Daytona 8-hour under the lights.  Of course I said yes.  As soon as we got home from Topeka, I busted out the mountain bike and aired up the tires.  Suddenly, I'm in training!

You know, someone should write a book about their racing experiences. 

You could title it - 'My Side'  !     :thumb:

Sorry Chris, I didn't have my sarcasm meter set high enough for you.

My reason for posting that was that I already own a copy of your book that you personally autographed for me.

Have you hit your head recently?   :kicknuts:

Hey Mark,

Are you going to the next BFR?  If so I have a box that needs to go to BFR for the Red Flag Fund Auction they're planning for Sept.

Thought maybe I could drop it off with you at Gateway next weekend.......
