Italian is all I know the Girls are doing most of the cooking.

Immmmm getting anxious fellas.

Ha! I'm so pumped for the show... I was getting ready to load my bikes up tonight...lol...I'm glad I re-checked the forum, I guess I'm a week early! I for sure would have showed up tomorrow morning

Lol. That would have been funny. Years back I drove out to something going on at the track, but I printed directions to the outdoor track by mistake, and it was happening at the indoor track. I got there and there was no one in sight, snow all over everything. D'oh! I had no cell phone, no access to a computer to get the address or directions to the other track. I just went back home. Kind of funny I guess now.

Can't wait for next week!

1 week

We need the weather to cooperate

Yes, thank goodness this isn't in Virginia!

ANOTHER big snowstorm headed our way the week of this show!

What did I tell ya!?

With any luck it will be cleaned up by Saturday. Not MY luck, but hopefully someone elses.
