I am planning to be there - should have the ZRX back from Speedfab tomorrow nite. Had a little rupture last week on a backfire. Plenum went boom.
Who is going from Jax? We should try and consolidate if possible. The thursday nite TNT sounds great - maybe I can get there in time.
I got a tip to go to Rendevouz BBQ in Memphis - anyone heard of it?

Mr google sez:
The sanctum sanctorum of Memphis barbecue is Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, a subterranean restaurant located in a downtown alley. At lunchtime on Friday, I met proprietor John Vergos (son of Charlie) and our mutual friend Tennessee state Sen. Roy Herron there. The Rendezvous is a great joint. It's decorated like a crazy person's house: Every wall is covered with random old paintings, posters, maps, and street signs. Glass cases are crammed with peculiar bric-a-brac and thingamajigs like ancient bars of soap. The place is loud, busy, and friendly. And it's staffed by waiters who've been there forever; one of ours had worked there 45 years, the other 24 years.
Memphis is a rib town, and the great debate is wet or dry. Wet ribs, the specialty of Rendezvous rival Corky's, are served with sauce on them. Dry ribs, the Rendezvous' forte, are coated with a tangy seasoning powder. Vergos ordered us some ribs and a shoulder sandwich, then recounted the history of the Rendezvous.
His father, Charlie, the son of a Greek hot-dog vendor, opened the Rendezvous in 1948 in a crummy basement. One day a meat salesman brought Charlie some pork ribs, a very unpopularand thus cheapcut of meat. At the time, barbecue was popular in black Memphis, but pork shoulder, not ribs, was the main dish. Charlie Vergos tried cooking the ribs in a Greek style, over charcoal with oregano and other spices. The ribs were a sensation, imitators sprang up, and soon Memphis was famous as the rib city. The Rendezvous has cooked for Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and the Rolling Stones.

Wow, that was a GOOD tip, thanks for info Karl. We will definitely need to make a trip.
Glad you can make it Ken, we've been swapping info and parts for years, too bad you can't scare up a bike to beat on???

Karl,
You shouldn't put top secret infomation on the internet.
Since this site has top clearance I'll let you in on a little more.
Smokey bones also has some great ribs. (St louis style)
Nellys and Interstate had the best shoulder BBQ.
We can do a few survey's if you want, when you get here.

I'm not going to be able to make it to Memphis. I was hoping to get the bike back together and make a few test passes tonite, but the plenum took longer than expected to finish, and there just isn't enough time. I'd been getting ready for this for a long time, but the ruptured plenum last week threw me off. Sorry Karl, Buddy, Ninja12, and anyone else planning to go, I'll have to catch up next time.
I will try to make the NOPI race next weekend in Bradenton, FL, and of course the Prostar World Finals here in Gainesville next month.

I heard Ken wasn't able to get there. But keep an eye open for his buddy on a ZRX1200 - Jon. With nothing more than an arm, pipe, & strap, he runs 9.80s with 1.4x short times.
Weather sounds perfect, wish I was there.
