Ready for The Big One

Hi, All,

Devin and I are in pretty good shape for The Big One. Lisa won't make it because some extra work issues came up, but we're thinking of taking one of our English Setters along to keep Midnight company in the pits. Our only concern is the noise; Maggie's a little spooky with sirens, and we're not sure how she'll react to all those two-stroke engine bursts.

We should get in around mid-afternoon on Friday. Rob & Bob -- sure would love it if you could hold the usual spot for me, Devin and Randal. Got a new Nikon, and will be happy to shoot for you all weekend, banquet, too.

We're hauling two karts in the van and two more in the trailer. Looks like the live-axle Homelite Spitfire/KL-100 twin and stub-axle Homeliite Spitfire/AH-58 twin, Devin's Super K/AH-58 single and my new Blitz F-1000/MC-91 single. We might throw the 800/MC-6 on the roof of the van to make it a five-count, but the A-Bone/MC-101 is staying home. I'm sure there will be more than enough Bones on the track without me dragging along one more. Should be a pretty good display of "team" red paint, white upholstery and engines to go along with all the other beautiful machine that show up.

Looking forward to seeing every one of you again.

Safe journey to all.

Warmest regards,

Jeff,
Sounds like you will arrive before me. I won't be pulling in until late evening at the hotel so I won't get to the track until Saturday morning. Look forward to seeing you and Devin again.
Bob

Hi, Bob T - Looking forward to seeing you and Rob again, too. I've only run Oreville once so far this season; super busy with a second magazine.

Hi, Bob K - Thanks for the heads-up. I've already seen Jeff's message.

See you guys on Friday!

Warmest regards,

.. that is a neat old photo I found on the web, looks to be an old Fox fun kart judging the pedals, steering wheel and scrub brakes. In fact it is the same model kart that I received for a Christmas present when I was 10 years old (it's amazing how one Christmas present can shape your life).
