Dan, i know you tried to get to Texas, but in Oct YOU WILL MAKE IT!!!
Zack, thanks on the garage!
A special touch (which may not work out in the long term), is a 10' x 14' Chinese silk rug which was damaged some time ago, and my wife donated to my garage when we moved.
I hate to think how much i paid for that thing 20yrs ago, but it does add a certain touch

Dane,
we all really appreciated you making the 8-9hr drive to hang out with TFA, enjoyed yr company. As you say, sat was really beautiful once the wind settled down. I will make sure that Brenda gets her umbrella and we sure hope you are able to make it down again in Oct.
Thanks also for the Abita beer, some was enjoyed at the track, then Jake, Bill & I enjoyed some more when we got back to Houston

Hey guys, (the list is too ong to name everyone)
Karen and I just got back into town and I just wanted to say thanks for the great time.
I convinced Karen to make the long trek to Texas by telling her how much fun we have. Between the great staff and all of the friends that I have made down there, I just can't stay away. The racing is just a bonus...
Karl, I had nothin' for you this weekend. It wasn't until my last pass that I was a threat with a 204.4!!
15 passes, 12 over 200.
Hopefully, we'll be back in October.
C'ya,
Tom and Karen Krause

Tom,
knocking at the door with a 204.4, you were hittin' it!
Great to see you and Karen in Texas, and cool that ya'll are coming back in Oct.
Go over to suzukihayabusa.com, maximum overdrive, and sign up for the NA Shootout which Tom Gates organizes. It is even more fun when you $100 bux on the line

Isn't Miami kinda dangerous??
With all those Mexicans wandering around loose, it seems pretty scary to me.

This mile thing kinda gets under your skin. I could see a bunch of road trips happening.
Miami, Loring, Mojave & Texas
Hmmmmm

Aw shucks:
Highlights:
Got to hang with a GREAT crowd
Cut seat worked
Made it into the 180s (Mike ran a 193)
Lows:
Weird lean surge at 2-3k
Over temp on WFO run
Plans:
Got my chores done today. Clean up the garage tomorrow and work on the bike.

Tom,
Loring a l-o-n-g drive but hell, California bill did it last year and he's gonna do again this year.
Do it!!!!
I like the competition with you, and want to carry it forward to Loring.
I'm fatter, less aerodynamic, but have enough more hp that we are pretty evenly matched.
It's good having you and yr funny, cracking-wise wife at the track with the TFA assorted fruits and nuts
Do Loring!
