Im going to race!!!! I'd love to drive down Thursday but I am going to have to talk to my wife and to the other guy that is maybe going that lives here. It will more than likely be a drive down Friday, practice day Saturday, race Sunday and rive all night to get home. Thats what we usually do from LA. Its 13 hours from my house to LA. If we leave after the races and share drivers its not too bad.

I wonder what they would say if I pulled up to the starting line on a 1982 Maico 490?  Of course I wouldn't be able to go off the big jumps b/c my suspension isn't setup for it.  Of course even if it was setup for it I couldn't go off any jumps with me on any bike anyway :)

Haha, ya, that's what I was thinking.  Doesn't even seem like it but that bike is like 30 years old now, well 29 years old.

Entry fees are $30 or 40 gate fees are $10. Pro Entry is $80 and its just an open pro. Last year there were guys on 125's up to 500AF's. If I don't get to go I'm just gonna go to a Loretta Qualifier that is about 8 hours closer to home.

Man I wish I could help ya out Watson,but this otr trucking job that I,ve been at since november 7th is terrible.Embarasing money , the worst job I ever had, when I got home I went right to a Dr. had a fever of 103.7, with a bad head infection that got into my lungs. Yeah not fun driving from Boston to N.C.  going thru NYC, nj. Baltimore,DC, then working my way to milwaukee, Chicago rush hour when  your feeling nasty. So I,m going back to running  into the railyards of Chicago, the money isn,t the greatest but I get out of the truck everyweek and I Love the action in the inner city of Chicago and there,s always work. That,s the only fever I ever had as an adult, physicaly ran into the ground,the truck has opti idle-a alarm goes off for 3 seconds then the truck starts and rocks back and forth wakes you up, then it,s on high idle then shuts off on it,s own rocking the truck, so your waken up every 15 minutes, the whole time you have a cold draft coming in on you, so you never get  much for sleep. And driving the junk your getting a  harder work out than running a jack hammer on 12 hr shifts.
