Dang it Bill, its kate evening and I don't see anyone parked close to you. How about some pictures of the overall pit area tomorrow???

Tell my Cajun friends we'll catch them at the next Commerce race.

Any other SOHC bikes on the property??

Looks like the weather is pretty decent today and moving down to 60% 50% chance for tomorrow.
Attendees can thank me for the OK weather so far.  :-*
You can bet your sweet a$$ had I not cancelled my trip, it would have been a deluge both days!  ;)

Hell yeah!! You badass bro  ;)  The second pic is quite ironic - Bill's bike is ready but Bill is not..... No one else there to ride it for you?

If I saw Randall Cross's post correctly, street ET finals was completed long before the sun went down. Is the bike count that low Bill??"

Race cancelled due to rain. 😳. It seems we made the right call after all. They still got Saturday points for the et classes and qualifying points for the sports classes. I'm sure et classes also got show up points for today as well as round win points. That should move Bill into the top ten😁.

Well I'll let them sort the points out. The record setting Tyson/Bernard bike ran 22lbs of boost. Magnussen supercharger, 7.65 @ 174mph I believe,  was looking at Tom McCarthy notes. Aluminum Ralph Muldoon frame...made in 6 hours straight work! 1000cc , 90% nitromethane,  way cool, just had a hot shower, so did everyone else, big home run it is! Lol, Bill

Just a few days left til race day. Trying to get all my maintenance done on the F model before the very last minute. Unfortunately I still have 2 others to prep but I intend to be ready by Thursday night so I can load up to pull out Friday morning for Galot. I've got a bad feeling this will be another washout. Glad i'm only 2 1/2 hours away so making a last minute decision will be easy for us.

Not certain who all is coming this time but be safe traveling up.

Got the Honda finished tonight and pushed to the side. Working on the ZX10  and then the top gas bike tomorrow night. The wife's bike is already in the trailer. Hopefully we'll do okay at the race.

Sorry to hear that Mark. I was looking forward to seeing you and the wife again. Maybe Rockingham will work out for you.

Had a major problem come up at work. So much for my projected 9am departure time. We found the issue so we'll pull hitting the road soon. Not exactly a perfect start for a race weekend but I'm not going to complain. At least I have a job to be concerned about with responsibilities beyond just myself.
