Bro and I can share a room, I'll just throw a shoe at him if he snores. Only one real big problem, we might just make it down for one day. My Brother's son's birthday is that same weekend................................................so we will either be there Friday night and Saturday or Saturday night and Sunday. I'll talk to him today and see what the scoop is. Plus with the way things are going I do not think the motor for our LSR bike will be ready, I hope my motor stays together after Maxton or I'll just be spectating as well.
Bro and I stayed at the Best Western on 59 going toward Beeville it's nice for the area. Small pool and lounge area for TFA night time yaking and snacking, but might be a little pricey. Jay, Shannon, and a couple other Mile crew members usually stay there.
99% TFA Mystery guest. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm probably out. 
Bonneville is probably going to eat up all of my race traveling budget for the rest of this year. Since I am going to miss speedweek my best bet is the world finals in October...
Karl, check your PM's.

The boys are planning on running at Maxton in October.
Me and momma are wanting to come to Texas but not sure yet which way we'll head. Don't worry about a room for us but I sure appreciate the offer Karl.

Dang Rich, I really need to get that nitrous bottle back to you. Sorry, I had to use it the other day. A next door neighbor was having a b-day party for their 4 year old daughter and they needed a bottle of compressed air to work the bubble machine. Well, I figured nitrous works better in motors so it should work better in anything else. Needless to say it was a big hit with the kids, they sure had a lot of laughs!!!!!!
just kidding, but I really need to get that bottle back to you. Give me a call H: 916-9764 we'll set something up.

Well I guess im the king of no show........and goddamn it I was going to be up @ 4:00
drinking coffee with Karl.......
I have been commuting on the 12 and all was good till I rode home in on a 105 degree
day at least that was the temp reported by the hvac recording station at the powerhouse
I never saw the temp gauge above the 10 o-clock position.....
I havent done the compression test yet but it will barely start.......and it smokes like a frieght
train...........I think conservatively it has melted piston(s) collapsed rings.....but it might be more extensive......
I should bite the bullet and take it to Johnny but.........im still struggling with the disposable
part of my income........
I realy dont know what happened but the fact remains.........I melted down and riding in a sane manner........that simple statement may very well indicate that Im not real racing material.......
But I will watch the countdown as I allways do ......Im pulling for all of TFA and honored
memories of past miles......
I guess I find humour in the fact that I , in all probability wont be built in 100 days
and Karl could be built at least twice a day  I think its Miller time.............
