Glad to see that seat cut down to keep your butt from sliding off while under full boost. Need to velcro your wrists to the grips now.

Sam, how much is a round trip ticket to and from the UK for you in US dollars??

http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/#from=GBP;to=USD;amt=607

With the charges Frank, you can call it $1K and nearly as much again for all the other things. :(

Sam. :(

I usually bring 3 bikes to this race. I ride 2 in 3 different classes and my wife races hers in one. Looks like only one bike each in the trailer this time and none are SOHC's and that sucks. Can't share in the Honda Invasion fun with the rest of the SOHC'er's on the  Sam Green Racing Team but i'll be there to support Sam and Bill to the winners circle.

So what's the schedule, anything going on today or just Saturday and Sunday?
I heard there's a couple of Nitro twin and funnybike teams from Sweden, and I think some of the mechanics are from Finland.
