Just read something on Loring and thought I would pass it on. Word is to stay off 295.

Ok, I just got Deb and Ali loaded up on their choices of gas and fuel for the quarterly LSR battle. Deb beat him clothed in Texas, Ali came back naked in North Carolina.... now Maine is the show down and I hear it's a dress for success type of occassion.
Deb said she prortionally needed more bottles for her A in her part of the TFA showing, that would be her "stack in the back" by the way.

May the best.... uhmmm... hmmmm.... fastest rider win!

Wow, Dean...we must have the same painter.
This one was from a few coats ago, and a couple of months back:

I'm sure there would be a lot to learn comparing the frontal area vs. overall drag of these two bikes.

haha.. helicopter tape.
thats what we called the stuff we put on the decals on the LMP900 Audi to keep the decals from peeling off at top end. like big, uber sticky scotch tape.
2 million dollar car.. probably $2 roll of tape.. lmao.. love it.
i think i remember te chief composites guy saying that it is actually used on helicopters for some reason.. probably the same thing. stuff works tho.

Thanks Karl, that's a small corner but we really like the lighting I have. 4 bulbs light up 2500sf like it's outside sunlight. They are sodium vapor bulbs and shrouds (just like used as streetlights) mounted 20 feet up on the ceiling and have been running for 10 years now without ever replacing one (there goes that luck huh?).
Never thought we'd fill the place up 10 years ago (when I moved shop up from Wilmington, NC), but we have been tight on room the last 5 years or so, and now with taking on some LSR teams it's everything we have to not grow out of it.
As far as good things happening here.... you shoulda seen the cake job we about knocked out yesterday, shoul dput the final tune on it before the day is out today. :-)

Todd,
Are you attached to Scott's efforts at Loring, or is that hush-hush?

Dear Moderators, could someone please diasable the video link I posted above? I didn't realize that it plays automatically, and I don't like doing that to folks. I guess the modify button is temporary. Thanks.
I am still itching to get going Northbound. The weather looks very good.

You still have time to make it Hill.... I'm sure i can get Al to swing by and pick you up.
Guessing Buckwheat, The Bomb and the White Jimi could come back with quite a travel story or two to tell!
We sure miss you at the track and the dinner table both ;-)

Hah, thanks for the cake, saved the 200 part for last!
Got a solenoid ordered up today and swapped both sprockets. Decided while I was at it to clean up my remaining greasy sprockets. Trying to get the bodywork on tomorrow but not until the clutch gets done first.
Then its on to finishing up the trailer lights and wiring since its been deteriorating throughout the years.
Its been so long since my bike had bodywork I may not recognize it, hah.
Deb, just got off the scale: 119 lbs in boxers and a tee shirt. Thats AFTER 2 plates of chinese food, ice cream and a slice of apple pie....don't be JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
