On my way back from the west coast, just like last year, I stopped at the salt flats again, just to play. I found the track to be in much better condition this year, hard and smooth. I really enjoyed my day here...doing fun stuff in the HHR...you know, like seeing if an iPad, standing upright on the salt, supported between a pair of shoes will stay upright when I pass by it at 100mph....

I've been talking to Cougar about hosting a maintenance day here in Newton sometime this summer and we are working on a date. Newton is in the middle of the state, I live right off 1-80 - have four garage stalls and a few tools. Plus, there is a Super 8 less than a block from our house for those who might want to stay the night. Other hotels close by as well. We have a city park in our back yard with a shelter as well. I think it is an ideal place to do it. My wife and I both are pastors serving different churches so it will have to be a Saturday when we don't have a family event, weddings or races at the Speedway. We have a policy of no alcohol at our house so booze will be out. I don't have a problem with alcohol - just a choice we made and adhere to it at our house. I've never been to a maintenance day but think it would be fun. I'm putting this out here now just to see how much interest we can muster. For you race fans, Newton is the home of NASCAR's Iowa Speedway. I'm a chaplain there. We also will host the Hot Rod Power Tour on June 5th!

I was just wondering if any VR's would be attending the March of Dimes ride at Atlanta Motor Speedway. If anyone is interested maybe we could meet and ride in together.

I went to the Maple Grove Speedway NHRA nationals on Saturday and it was awesome. First time for me and I'm glad that I brought ear plugs. I cannot get over how fast and loud they are. Television just does not give it any justice. 300MPH in the 1/8 mile in under 4 seconds, that's fast. It is unbelievable as to how much money sponsors pay for these guys. John Force (Castrol) was there (what a blow hard) and he had five (5) tractor trailers there, two of which looked like living quarters, one for selling apparel, and the other three were for his cars. I realize what all he has done for the drag racing scene and he is one of the best, but when he opens that big trap of his, it just goes right through me. His daughter was racing too and she really good too; in fact she was ahead of him when qualifying. I would have liked to have gone up on Sunday for the finals, but was unable to. Anyway, I saw a 2000 millennium in the free parking area. Was that anyone here?

First day at Bike Week. Was supprised that there were not so many people there. You could walk the sidewalks with out bumping into people. Going back on Sunday might be different. Maybe it was to cold! Venders were still putting out their things. Even the Speedway was easy to get into and out of. Saw only one other Venture and that was at the Speedway. It was a 2nd gen blue in color. Parked at a church 1st street south of Main st. near A1A. Cost was $4 for bikes and $6 for trikes. I have used this lot for the last three years, both for Bike Week and Biketoberfest. I just don't like to park on the stree and have someone mess with my bike. Good luck to all those who are going to "Bike Week" and ride safe. Ken:080402gudl_prv:
