On the Scene at SpeedWeek 2011

[RayTheRat]

A few more photos from the starting line.

[RayTheRat]

And a few more...then I'm gonna find some lunch.

[RayTheRat]

My lunch consisted of a walk thru Impound and a shaved ice (best cooler-offer I can think of...and it's HOT) so we have a few photos from, surprise, surprise, Impound.

Spirit of Rett is there, but I didn't get a speed.  Had to be fast, tho...he's running in A/BGS with a 350 record.

There's a NICE lookin Production Pickup...

...a Harley sidecar

and a Yamaha 350 with a turbo on it that was supposedly gonna grenade the motor on the first pass...or so the owner told me...and I said I'd much rather get a photo in impound.  And here it is.

I'm havin fits with connectivity and SSS is gettin Nancy's bike ready, so I'm gonna cruise the pits for more photos.

Wind is at 12 mph, and there may be a wind hold coming.  I'll post more when I can.

We're through tech with Nancy's bike, and now I've got a few minutes before I go hit the pool.

So -- how's the waiting with the biggest-ever pre-registration?  Unh, about 1.45 this afternoon -- we'd been running for around two and a half hours and have the biggest pre-registration ever (note I stress that fact?) -- after two and a half hours on the first day -- I heard the announcement "No waiting to run on #2 course".  It's a combination - long-short course -- and NO FRICKIN' WAITING TWO HOURS INTO THE MEET!!!!

Is the new four-course setup working or what?

Jon,
Are you planning on posting a copy of the daily run sheets (or qualifiers) on here?
