Sean-

What hour race is Portland? I just got my Fastlines and it stated Portland will be a four hour. The schedule listing on the web site claims 6 hours. Which is it? Just wanted to clear things up for tire allocation, etc.

I screwed up the Fastline - it will definitely be a 6 Hour...

Saaweeet. I figured as much - I mean, what's it worth to drive so far and only ride for four hours? Thanks.

When is everyone leaving? Being that we're driving 44 hours to get there, is anyone interetsed in a caravan there? I'd hate to hear that some lost a trailer tire or something along the way and couldn't make it. We might as well help each other get there...

We're leaving Wednesday night from NAshville, possibly hitting 70 though Denver, then 80 to Portland. How is everyone else planning to go?

44 hours? Yeesh.

Sometimes it's good to be one of the few regular "W" riders in WERA...

But usually not. :-)

Yeah, that's it - the Portland round isn't cancelled - the MWSB class has been excluded like the novices and there is no need for ANY MWSB teams to show. We, of course, don't listen real well and will probably show anyways. We're just going to watch (heh,heh,heh)

It doesn't matter. We're switching to MWSB from SS starting at Talladega. I have to pay Jim back from Texas somehow, so we devised a plan to screw up that class as much as possible. See you at the track! http://www.wera.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'll be on the blue 706 GSXR. Bet you can't stand me up in a corner again! http://www.wera.com/ubb/biggrin.gif After watching Edwards and Bayliss, I'm throwing elbows.

Yeah, Jim and I will be riding two up ala Mamola at the Tally round - purely experimental in trying to do some research for WERA on adding a new class.

As far as standing Jim up, I can do a great heal clicker - superman seat grab - bail manuever that will leave Jim to fend for himself, so have at it. Just look for the big skull and piston bones flailing behind the green Lizard bike and allow for proper manuevering time - say about 2 seconds once I see ya.

Sorry about that. I thought you were on a Kawasaki.
