Lots of nice things happening the last couple of winters at Blackhawk...... :thumb:

Any significant improvements over the last 6 months?

Runoff on outside of 7 is flat! The paddock is almost all new and widened blacktop(really nice!), with concrete walking paths. So as long as people use the spaces properly, 2 cars or trucks can easily get through Someone can confirm, but I think there are some new bumpy "gators" on the outside of 1 if you go wide...

Are all the paddock roads now paved or did they just redo the existing paved ones?

Sniper?

(positioned on the roof of the control tower, wearing a roof shingle ghillie suit, and eliminating anyone who crosses over the line while entering the track 8) )

Yes, Paul, you are allowed to guess, but it doesn't count! I love the guesses! I am a spy for the navy, trying to recruit snipers, who will be armed only with squirtguns and floatation devices, for when it rains, and I will slap anyone who crosses over the line.

I'd take up racing, but Ed won't let me use any of his racebikes! Instead, I think I'll give him a few pointers from my months of riding experience. HA ha.

That was my second guess.

Thanks for asking about Kevin! He was home for a couple of weeks recently. Boy, he sure has matured since the last time he was home! He's got a couple of years left in his enlistment, before he has to make up his mind if he wants to re-enlist. He's doing well and is moving up.

I rode into work 2 or 3 times last week. It's not the same though, when you HAVE to ride. (My car needed repairs). I like it more when I WANT to ride.

So, are you going to tell us or do we have to keep guessing?

This isn't going to be as exciting as some ideas that came up, I'm going to be Ed's pit tootsie this year. But apparently, he's going to put me to work, so I may not have any time to sit around and "look pretty."

I think I'm most like Dudley, the character in WILD HOGS.
