Who are you going with Ralph.? Would you have room for 1 more.? I can also do my share of driving if you want.?

RCM78 01-29-2009 07:59 AM

Right now we have me, Cecil, Greg, Russ, and Mike. So if we end up taking two trucks then I should have room.

Chris 01-29-2009 09:45 AM

I can't wait to go back there again

Sounds good to me. :thumbup:

If you only have room for 1 and both of us wanna go I guess we could always take another truck with my trailer or something. I'm not 100% sure if I can go though.

No problem. Everything should be set in the next few weeks. If we have room anyone is welcome, if not the more trucks and trailers we take the better...

Just checking. I'd hate to miss out on a great track like that but I'll likely have to pass, maybe later in say like November with a few other tracks in the area.

STT puts on a good event, just like TPM, with different faces.

John712 01-29-2009 02:42 PM

Well geez Ralph, thanks!

You think I would invite Mellen without you??

I'll mention it to him and Jack and see what happened. I figured he might sneak in some time there before the end of the year to get an advantage on me.

Yeah that Saturn (with 200,000+ miles) is a great tow vehicle. Although his Sable and my Taurus get 20+ MPG towing so we can run cheap in everything but Jack's truck/camper combo.

STT is Sportbiketracktime goto www.sportbiketracktime.com but keep an eye on the Team Pro-Motion site for dates too. Sorry I had to put that in there in the interest of equal air time. :)
