Over 100 already signed up. Only about 25% are bikes. That makes me sad

I'll have sprockets to share if anyone needs to borrow one. Look what I got in the mail today.
Got them for a decent price

No need to be skeered BS! I'm nervous every time I make a run but the cool thing is that the throttle works both ways. (btw, it always feels better after the first pass!  ) Take your first pass at highway speeds to feel things out. Up it a little bit each time and practice your braking each time. The fun thing about this sport is that everybody is supportive and just the fact that you have balls enough to throw a leg over and run down the track is good enough! I've backed out of a lot of runs and when asked why just answered with " I wasn't feeling it ". That's an acceptable answer anytime and so far I haven't found one person in this sport that doesn't respect anyone saying it!
Do it at your own pace and do what feels right to you. Every pass that you complete is a successful pass and as long as you take your time and do it at your own pace you'll always have the chance to make another run! There's really no pressure persay in this sport. When the track is yours it's yours! Run it the way you want at any speed. It's yours to do with what you want at that moment in time, just do it your way & you'll do great!

good advice Debbie!!!!
For me, i REALLY like to get the 1st pass over.
I always feel like it's my 1st public speech, GD butterflies, always.
After the 1st pass, it's like a narcotic+amphetamine drug kicks in: lemme at 'em!
(not that I would know anything about drugs...  )

OK boys and girls. You can count the number of spaces left on your fingers and toes and have some left over. If you know of anyone who has been dragging their feet in signing up, NOW is the time. There will be no excuses for not signing up in time.

Guess I'm in, just signed up! I think I was a pinky toe, Ryan. I think less than 19 spots left.
Don't forget to add Shane Stubbs to the list - I think he'll be on Guthrie's Turbo Busa.
I also heard a rumor Ralf might be coming out to spectate, if he can get away from all his lady friends. LOL

we gotta get Shane to pay us a visit here, he's a speed demon, that's for sure!
So Ralf's gonna come to Texas Mile? Umbrella duty? Neon green speedo?
