I was wondering when this rolecall would appear 8)

The H-man & Black Ops Racing is busily working to still be there (I had an off track excursion this past Sunday:'().

If we do make it (keep your fingers crossed for me), we'll be arriving early Saturday evening.

Hope to see you all there.

Eddie K., I know you'll need to prep and head out for the GNF but are you going to stay to watch some of the races on Sunday?

Start sapping those tires now Dave so you won't need to stay up late ;D

Dan will most likely be there  :D  Not sure if I'm going to race.  Depends on if I can get things done with work in time to get tires and get all my stuff together.  Worse case, unless something happens at work and I have to be around, I am coming to atleast watch and or cornerwork.  If I want to cornerwork, who do I contact?


I'm trying to make it.  Working day and night so I can take Fri-Tues off.  If I can't race, I'd like to do the trackday on Monday there.  I haven't been to Gingerman at all this year.

Uh.... Dan... there isn't a track day on Monday (10/11).  The CCS riders' day is Saturday and STT won't be there on Monday.

Sunday only.  Kids and other duties beckon this time.  

Edgar, can you ask Tom to save me a rear tire? (or shoot me his contact info)  Gingerman's as abrasive as ever.

Are there any championships at stake this weekend, esp. in the ltwt classes?

Bring long undies. It's cold when the sun goes down!

I can let Tommy know about the tire. You use the 160 or 170? We are leaving Thursday around Noon from here in MN.

In the Lightweight classes, I am ahead of Ed Key by 39 point in LWSB and ahead of Mark Styles by 6 points in LWGP, so both of those are up for grabs.
Ed sewed up LWSS and I have SuperTwins in the bag.
Paul James and Brian Lacy are only 4 points apart in Thunderbike, so there are quite a few championships at stake in the LW classes. Time to take the skirt off!

Post by: dylanfan53 on October 06, 2004, 06:13:47 PM
The 160. I'll be in Sunday morning. Thanks!

I not in LWGP this time but maybe I'll get a good seat to watch you guys in LWSB.

I will be there.  

Knuppy will be there.

...and I am hauling Mr. Rain (Lonnie) to the track.


Anybody know if you are 'allowed' to come in the back gate if you show up after the front gate closes on Friday night?

Jeff, are we going to get to practice together?

If you're referring to the gate off CR 687, they secure it the same time they do the front gate (i.e., 10 pm, eastern)

Man I wish I could be there on Sunday to do some racing.  Looks like we'll just be there on Saturday.  Hopefully I can follow a couple SVs around to relearn the track.

Depends on whether a bolt-cutter is part of your "allowed" process...

So long as they let you in the expert group!   ;D  ;D  ;D

 Kim, I'm going to have to get in touch with you before this weekend, I need you to give some $$$ to Tom for me.   ;)

I will see if I can bribe the guy at pit out.   :)  Although, amatuer practice doesn't sound too bad.  I haven't been there in two years.

Yeah, and Ed is just 5 points behind Brian. So, it's pretty much winner take all...

Of course, Brian goes like stink at Gingerman (like he does just about everywhere). I've got to get a great start and hope those guys get caught in traffic, or a swarm of locusts, or something...

I'll be there on Saturday for practice. Julian Soell will be there too. He moved to Nashville, so this will be his CCS farewell for now. Also, a buddy of mine will be there who picked up a new Ducati DS 1000 that he plans to race in Thunderbike. Should be fun!

Since I will probably be the guy at Pit Out I'm not a cheap date! ;D  

Unfortunately it will probably take more than that.....  we have very observant Corner Workers who tend to get excited on the radio when they see someone who's 'in the wrong group'.  Talk to me anyway - there are ways to take care of a problem like this that are totally above board.

Bill Ritger will be in charge of Corner Workers and working Control.  If you can't find him....  look me up - I'm about 99% sure they'll have me working Pit Out.

Throngs will be anxious to meet you and place a face with your name. ::) ;)

[shadow=red,left,300]GOOD NEWS![/shadow]

I received some spare parts and advice from a friend (thanks again Wheelie Boy), stayed up late last night and pieced the H-bomb back together.  Just need to put the bodywork back on and take her out for a test spin in the neighborhood.

Don, thanks for the kind words 8).  Guess I will see you on Sunday.

Thunderbike & F40LW ba-beeee! ;D ;D

 ;D  I'm working on it.   Got a real early start today trying to finalize what I needed to get done.   I wanna be there.  I doubt I"ll ride though.  I don't have time to set all that stuff up.  Bike hasn't been started in 2 months.

H, did that information I sent you help you out? The links?

Big thanks to Bernie and the rest of the Kegel Race team (Mike and Karl).

You guys were great to be next to in the paddock/pit.  Thanks for the encouragement and support to me.  Thanks for helping my family feel comfortable and welcomed.

Most of all, thanks for getting my truck started ::)  Guess I shoulda got the one with a hemi.. or better still... a magnum ;)

Just curious....  did you realize you 'snuck' into the wrong practice group before you got Meatballed? ;D

Thanks for the birthday wishes Bernie 8)

I'm just getting back from dinner and a movie with Gail [note to self, why am I on this damn BBS after a night out?].

Hey!  I highly recommend the movie "What the Blank Do we Know?"  It's not a very widely distributed film, but one that I think many of you will enjoy.  It combines clips of people explaining quantum physics and spirituality.  On top of that, it's funny in parts.  Trust me on this one ;) 8)

Um... I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I will get the Potato head award! LOL Yes I realized it as soon as I saw my number on the board. Phill came over and.... we talked. Just one of two bone head moves I did this weekend! lol

Um... you could say that! lol! Just a little confusion on mine and Mikeys part. They dont call the F-40 the "coot scoot" for nothing. Hell, we can't rember what we had for lunch, let alone somthing as simple as a grid position! It was kind of like dancing Buells...  so to speak. ::) ;D
