OK, who all is going to be riding at Barber? I know Lew has said he is, and Dwight will be there on his Hodaka. Team Lillian Swamp will be there in force.

i'll be there. booked my flight last week. diamond don is bringing my can am 250. but its getting tired. i may bring a fresh top end and piston to put on it as well as rebuilt fork legs. they look at me a little funny when i check that stuff in as luggage. i leave the fork springs out and there is no oil in them. as much as i enjoy flying to the races, it makes it a little rough to get the maintenance done. see everyone there  [8D]  chi jer

Jerry, if you need any other spares you can think of let me know and I'll bring them if I have them.

Do we need to buy passes at the gate or does our race signup get us in like Mid-Ohio?

Last year there was an AHRMA window at the front gate. All you did was show your AHRMA card and sign the waiver for the "paddock" pass, you didnt have to be pre-registered, and it should be the same this year.

I will be there to ride the CC. I'll ride my Six Day, but will have my 74 250 to ride around. Plan on doing some race watching this year.

I talked to Dave Lamberth yesterday, he has laid out some more new single track. He says it will be a little faster than last year. We will start at the same place, which was too narrow, but we are going to increase the number of rows so that we don't have more than 8 to 10 starting at a time and then change the time between the row starts to 15 or 30 seconds.
