    That would be great. If you come I will let you come up on the Dam and shoot pictures. Not really a Dam more like a Berm or Dyke

    Here is a little better resolution copy of Sean's racing card (which he made obsolete after the Nationals last year).

    Best of Luck in Oroville.

    What a fantastic piece of photography amateur photog.

    I was trying to think of who might be out there that would be interested in mostly midwest, southern and east coast drivers, & what to print up then I thought of this is idea. How about a complete copy of my autograph collection in a binder? The prints would only be copies of autographed originals, but they would still be on photo paper. Would that be of interest Bill?

    Carl,
    We can load up and head out Thursday morning before. I will need a pit-bitch and as for you Mark, (Johnson) I will pick you up at the Sacramento Airport. I will need Schwartz's and your assistance to precisely measure how far I may have my head is up my ***.
    THEN WE CAN WATCH SEAN DO IT RIGHT!

    Looks like I'll make Oroville after all. I got discouraged and dropped plans when it didn't look like the Vapor Trail Racing stuff wouldn't be ready in time. Joe Flow has been working his tail off to get it ready and looks like he'll make it with a couple of days to spare. It will have to be put together on site though. The motors cleared customs two days ago. Jim will be there in a wheelchair and IV's. Seems the motors will be sporting IV's too. Jim's are because of an infection in his foot that occurred after some screws in his foot came loose. He won't be jumping around, but he'll be there. Sean is an old hand at these high speeds, so if the mechanical stuff all comes together it can be an exciting weekend. I've never seen alky rigs run that fast, so I looking forward to it very much

    I've got to pick up a copy of "The World's Fastest Indian" today. Joe Flow requires all the team members to watch it before the kilos. It's a real long shot to pull something like this off without any prior testing and working the bugs out, but if it all comes together it will be an event to remember. Pictures will follow.

    Hey Alan and Carl.....you guys still coming? Lee Sutter.......if you read this, try to make it. I have been carrying a couple of pics with me to the races since 1979 to get your autograph. That would be a good time to add yours to my collection.

    Default Oroville.........

    What are the dates for this one Wayne? I am trying to get something scheduled out there so I can watch Sean shatter this record. (I didn't say attempt because he's got the 'Wayne Baldwin Syndrome' He could break some of the standing records without a boat. ) It's going to be exciting..............

    The dates are February 23,and 24. Sign up and drivers meeting Feb 22.

    For those who are flying into Sacramento Airport (SMF) when exiting the Airport Do Not Head North. Go south towards Sacramento for about a mile or so. Stay in the right lane then take HWY 99/70 to Yuba City/ Marysville. About 5 miles Hwy 99 and 70 split. Take hwy 99 (left lane) to Yuba city. If you are hungry stop at Stevens Farm House. Neat little place that has good tri tip sandwiches. Continue through Yuba City to Live Oak then past Gridley the Levee will be on your right to Hwy 162. Turn Right on 162 and you are there.
    Go to the Region 11 web site for more info. Gold County casino has a block of rooms. Today feb 15 is the last day for the rate. I like to stay at the Comfort Inn 530-533-9673
    The Java hut down the street from the Comfort inn has great Coffee and Sandwiches for those who want to have something in the pits.
