Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed it last year's event.  This year will be even better.

We heard that from a lot of folks.  I wish it were official, then I would put that on our flier.

What do you think of Steaks and old motorcycle movies on Saturday night?

TC is still unreal fast. At the '10 Tennessee Qualifier, Historic Open and PV 50+ were grouped together so I was in his moto. Being the optimist that I am, I said, "Oh sure, he's a multi-time National Enduro champ, multi-time ISDT/E Trophy Team member, but I'll see how long I can hang onto him anyway." Well...it was about 10 seconds...maybe. Here is the video, I had a bad spot on the gate, TC was on the inside, but it wasnt going to make any difference anyway, 3-4 turns in and he is streaking off into the distance.
