I am not that excited to go to the track again (tee hee tee hee.)
I am sure my insomnia is from some kind of nutritional imbalance. |

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Ok my friend is NOT coming unfortunately
His wife doesn't want him on the track...
They just had their first baby though, so I kinda understand.
Kuss, I can take your stuff if you don't trailer with someone else. Sorry man. |

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Well it now looks like I might have a business conflict on Monday. Won't know my plans until probably Friday.

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Just took a look at the weather report and it looks like WERA will be running the Jetski finals Saturday and Sunday, while the Trackoholics day will be 74 and partly cloudy on Monday . . . |

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Anyone coming up early, (Saturday or Sunday) before the trackday. I'll be at the track with Bojan for the WERA races. He was turning 23's last Monday with Eric Spector so he's ready. Actually had a few things for Eric and had him beat in some spots which was nice.
Erics dad told us 23's were the best expert times last year.
Still fiddling with suspension issues but we are going to try a few things tonight before we leave and hope for the best.
I'm hopeful that the rain will stay away for the weekend. If not that throws a whole new outlook into the racing plans.
If it stays dry I expect the boy will win a few races.
We'll be pitting on the lower level with Tom from Honda East.
See you guys Monday

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Good luck to Boo!  Hope it stays dry long enough for him to get on the podium!
Can't wait for Monday...

Maybe Jim took my advice about those nude rain dances - I noted that the skies opened up on STT just as I left the track after our 8/13 funfest.
Whatever works-- as long as I don't have to watch !  |

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! Pics of Aug 30 trackday by Karoline at Fotomadness.com
Karoline got some great shots of a bunch of firebladers on a near-perfect day.
#53 Red Rider
#137 Brian 48130 (she got the first kneedown, I think..)
#29 Abtech
#340 Kuss929
#130 Gliberios
#325 CBRVFR
plus some of Nick Devink wringing out that 250
No pics of Trackoholic riding, though since they're married she might not have wanted to use the bandwidth??

| Re: Anyone to Grattan on the 30th Aug? I am! I thought she got very heroic pics of everyone. There's some really dynamic ones of you, and Kuss looks like an old pro. $25.00 for a CD is a smokin' deal... |
