Re: On the Road

Thanks for the tip and I plan on hitting the Big4 either Thursday night or Friday sometime (the reservation is Thursday). It depends on how much fun I am having at the Clipsal 500 on Thursday. A good buddy of mine from Brisbane Barry Lockwood will be meeting me if I stay until Friday in Adelaide. We...

Re: Honda MG & MF 750

Keep up the work on the bumblebee and let her scream on the...

Re: New Tech Inspection Tents

Colin is on to a good design. For those that have been to Bonneville we use this type of standard flat top canopy and it is really great. It is somewhat more simple here in So. Cal. as many of the "swap meet" sellers use the flat style canopies so there are many standard suppiers of these ...

Re: Volunteers - Timing van

Hey Greg! If you find yourself in a pinch I will be there to help. I am coming to Lake Gairdner on Friday or Saturday and plan on spending most of the week with the DRLA.
