Anybody headed to the HandBuilt show in Austin next weekend ?    MotoGP in town as well.
And.....  Flat Track racing

Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

I wish.  I really had plans to go to MotoGP and the Handbuilt, but I have a family obligation that is going to take me a hundred and fifty miles east of there.

You going to Rockers V Mods this weekend?

Ummmm I was until my f*$#@!ng employer told me I couldn't take the personal time (of which I have plenty of) and that I would be docked. Had I said I was going to renew my vows I would have been clean and clear but I said (thinking it wasn't gonna be a big deal) that I was going to MotoGP and the show. Really disappointed too.

I'll def be at MotoGP and possible the Handbuilt show.

Tip: wait til' the last min and buy COTA tickets in Austin, there are always good deals on CL.  Last year, I could have "bought" a ticket for a six pack for Sat qualifying.
This has never failed me and I've done it for F1 too.
