Hey Chopper Dave,
Can I give you a call??
We are (the Family) driving down to Tenn that week to have a look around (north/NE with in 1 to 1.5 hours from Nashville airport)
Actually was looking to start in your area, look at land, and end up back at Wardys on thursday (where I will hopefully dump my trailer on the way down) If your listening Wardy, is this possible? and safe?)

Any way though i could get some info from you.

My cell is 414-732-6499 or drop me # to call.

Thanks
Mike

I'll be there to some extent, but I have to work saturday, so I'm not sure what day(s) I'll be there.

Can't wait. I like the track much better since the changes. :cool:

Can first year guys come too!
Everyone's welcome! It's a great time. I'm bummed that I will only be there for one day, but I wouldn't be driving 1000 miles round trip if it weren't worth it!

Zoomer- give me a call 931* 436* 1524. I would be happy to show you around. If you had bikes with you the weekend before Wardy's we could even ride at Turkey Bay!

I may not be able to make Wardy's! Boss is not cooperating for time off. We might have to do the Lou trip planning, arrive Friday afternoon. :|

I need a good pair of a$$-goggles!

Looks like I will be arriving satuday afternoon, and of course departing sunday afternoon. With a non riding girlfriend and a riding youngster. I may come down for a few hours friday afternoon, but I won't know for sure until friday morning.

What's the plan for a saturday night cookout? Is there a big community one or are we on a fend for ourselves type deal here?

Jaction-We'll be heading to Megacross for the Sat. night races. I can't remember what time we pulled out of FVOR last year to head over to Mendota.

I forgot about that. I may just try to swing out there friday afternoon then.

The more I think about it, the tougher it'll be for me to swing saturday night anyway. Sometimes it's no fun to be an adult. :(

I wasn't planning on bringing Timmy, but I might now, it depends on how energetic I feel Friday after work.

I'll check on time off, as I don't know what the attendance policy is, but overall, things seem really laid back. :)

Oh, and MM better race it too if I do! ;)

I don't know about any official racing, but I do plan to bring the little yellow machine too.

I hear you on the long driving for motorcycle vacations/mini vacations! Just got back from one that involved over $600 in fuel between my truck and the bikes I rode while I was there. Ouch. But, this is what we do for fun...so be it.

I'm thinking I'll leave the little bike at home. It's going to be a day trip for me, basically. I don't know if I want to drag both bikes up there with just a half day of riding and one race that night. On the other hand... racing the little bikes is SO MUCH FUN it should be illegal. I dunno, I'll decide in two weeks I guess, lol!

Lou - you might have fun in the "thumper" class.... they only run it at a few Megacross races... last time there were 10 thumper riders (mostly old dudes and chicks, and all hondas) and 11 pitbikes... pretty sure they all ran together, two gate drops, and the same heat/main format.... although I think they might have run kinda close to 250C/intermission... so yeah, could make for a tiring night.

I'm in a heckuva lot better shape than I was last year, lol! I can even wear my own gear this year... :whoa:

I bet I bring the little bike, just in case. Like I said, dicing it up with MM is more fun than adults should be allowed to have! Racing it at MegaX would be a blast, too!

Just race fees for Saturday night is all I can think of. It's a pretty cheap outing. Oh, and we usually have to find some devious way to make Wardy take some money from us for letting us crash his place. :)

My boss decided to let me off Thurs, so Martina and me will arrive Thurs afternoon. Wahooooooo!!!!! :cool:

Lou, I was hoping you would bring the little thumper so Martina can try it. I'm trying to talk her into a new crf150r!
