MANITOBA TY RIDE 2014

[Sasquatch]

Yep no keeper! I'm batching it! Staying up late, getting out of bed even later! Even the dog is saying come on get out of bed already!

Maybe I should ride my bike there! Got the hard bags on and a homemade seat from a RX 1 to try out. Box of beer will fit in one bag leaving room for a brocilli salad or apple pie ( neighbor brought me a couple or three dozen apples from their tree) in the other plus a few chicken breasts. Rain suit in the trunk and I'm golden!

Babysitting a dieing cat right now don't think it will last much longer! Could be the only caveat!

Sorry guys, I haven't been on the site that often these days and still getting used to the new look and feel. I won't be able to make it as I already have 3 commitments this Saturday (this would be 4). I'll be able to make 2 of the 3 but if I go to this bbq, I'd only be able to make it for that one. On Sunday I have a points race that I can't miss as I'm not far from the top spot and competition is fierce, just can't afford to let that top spot slip away. It's also hard to focus when my head is fuzzy and can barely open my eyes, lol. Maybe next year if there is another one, or hey we could get together at the track, rough camping, all kinds of loud cars, bikes and sleds going stupid fast on asphalt. Could still do the bbq after the races are over for the day....

Where the heck are ya racin? I've never been to the track! Bison I think it was called.

Oops I'm old its now in Gimli!

Right it just outside of Gimli, but now it's called Interlake Dragways http://interlakedragway.org/cms/ Check out the points in Top ET Box.

Sounds like I missed a good time, we got rained out at the dragstrip, which was ok, we ended up running to the city to visit the hospital, the father-in-law ended up with a quad bypass in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday morning. He told the doctors that he needs to be out by this Saturday as he wants to go dancing.

As for me, I have the old slug ready to go for Saturdays test and tune and will be doing a few shake down runs. Sunday, and Monday will be bracket racing the SRX as I would probably lose with reaction time and consistency with the old slug. They will be running the Nitro Mike Wheel Stander as a feature this weekend along with the CanAm Outlaws, nothing like the Top Fuel, but hey this is Gimli Manitoba, what do you expect, lol.
