Bob,
I am sorry if this has been covered previously, blame it on my "Old-timer's disease"

Do you have a process for registering a 2nd rider?

I'm gonna share riding my heap with someone who actually knows somnething.

.. right from the http://www.lta-lsr.com website;

Registration is $125, if you pre-register. Pre-entries MUST be received two weeks prior to the event. If you register at the track, the registration fee is $150. Registration is per vehicle, per event weekend for the class in which you initially register. Class changes are an additional $50 for the first such change and $25 for each additional change, and can be paid at the event. Driver/rider changes are free of charge. There is no discount for multiple vehicles entered by a single member or for running just one day of the event.

Is Doug from the New England Area, and did he 'used to' race at the old CT dragway?

Great guy.

Was asking, because went through the 1/4 mile traps with a Doug Meyer in the other lane, he had a rear tire blowout, kept the bike upright on the wheelie bars, went through shutdown, and got a broken ankle out of the deal. May have been NMRA summer nationals or something like that, early mid '80s timeframe.
