Jon and Nancy........THANKS so much.

I just signed the contract with the hotel so you can report on the B'ville NW Reunion. I have chosen

Nancy to be the lead ticket seller for the 50/50.  Slim, you can type the reports from the dining room.

All record runs will start at 8:30 PM and be done by 8:45.

The party will be in One Run Bob's room.

Pretty simple on Nancy's record. The 200 MPH club minimum for that class was established as 205.

Thank You to Slim and all the others that kept us posted on the event, record runs, pictures etc.

  And Congratulations to Jon & Nancy for Nancy's new record !!!

Mtkawboy:

It would qualify her -- but she's kinda snooty and wants to be in a more exclusive group -- the 205 Club.



Seriously -- Freud's right.  There's a minimum of 205 in the P/P 1650 class.  Minimums are established by the Club to acknowledge things like advances in technology -- that a bike with that size motor, bodywork, and such -- should be able to be urged with a lot of work -- to 205.  That's a blatant simplification of why there are minimums -- but there's also real-world precedent, in Fred Vance's 209 record in the next-smaller-engine class (P/P 1350).  So -- whether we like it or not, whether we think it'd be nice if there were no minimums -- those are the minimums and it's our job as racers to exceed them.  And as she and I discussed this afternoon -- after she had the 202 recofrd in hand -- it'll only be that much sweeter when she does get the hat.  She'll feel it better than anyone after trying so hard.  I've heard it from others before, and absolutely no doubt -- will hear it again.

Gonna shut down the 'puter and tow the trailer off the Salt.  G'night, and thanks for all of the thanks.  We get a kick out of doing this for everyone.

I understand that "what will be, will be" but I also know that Todd wishes he was there to congratulate Nancy.

It's a team and all of you share in the success.

NANCY, Slim and Todd,

my most sincere CONGRATULATIONS. 

There's more to come and you will all share that with your Landracing.com family.

Just arrived home last night from WOS.  I'll try to get some pics up later, but I want to pass on a huge thank-you to the USFRA folks who really scrambled to make this event happen.  Between weather, a late start, guests from far-away lands and the need to adjust courses in short order, these folks absolutely rocked, and deserve huge kudos from all attendees, both participants and spectators.

Thanks to the USFRA - you made it worth the trip. :cheers:
