Matt,

Can't race Sunday, we have Grills and Grapes Sunday and the whole family helps out.

Not sure about Sat. I had planned on it but some things have come up.

We feel great after the ride. Words can't describe what the trip was like but I'll try when we talk. I rode with Pat each day untill she couldn't go any further. She rides fairly slow so I got behind and got swept twice but I still made 362 miles. The hills were killers. I can't believe how well we did.

Talk to or see ya soon

Hey any of you guys raced on the dirt track yet? I was just wondering what kind of tires work on it? I hope to make it out this saturday and try the offroad side of it.

holeshot(s) and M3 pins work pretty good at scotty's dirt....almost too good.

fossill - sounds like your trip was cool. sorry you can't make it sunday. i put a long straight in just for your gas car. hehe.

green rc - you should come down to rockford. this is 1 of the last 2 races we will be running this year. then we will be at scotty's, indoor, all winter. good competition and a huge, beautiful track. hope to see ya.

Green....I think they were responding to my question about the offroad tires. When I was there last sunday some guys were runnig the sorex 20/24 and 24/28. They might be a good place to start.

OK - I'm starting with Paul's setup too. Can't say my results will be too reliable - haven't driven one of these for over a year.
