Yeah Mark !!!
Thanks for the invite.We do need to spend some time on your and Pete Lee's side.I only was there for a couple of days in 2006.I didn't see much and didn't know anyone.Now at least I know a few.Maybe even come for Classic Dirt.
Keep in touch.

Granbury (where that tornado just hit, sadly with loss of lives) is only 30 miles from Bill's. Haven't heard anything from Bill yet, but am assuming it was a local event. The country has amazing weather, Colleen and I drove through a storm to end all storms (to us) woke up the next morning and the locals hardly spoke about it. Hoping all is Ok.

9 days to Springfeild, 400 amateur dirt trackers will be competing for a AMA Grand National Championship, are we excited, absolutely. Colleen and I walk past this house in our street every morning, our house is number 1. Hope that means something, we shall see, just hope the new engine is as promising as it has been during testing at home and that we get the 43kg through customs! Off to Sydney tomorrow where 'ol mate Jim Garvey will take us out to tea with Chippa before we jet out, keep youall posted, had a last night with Grasy and mates, be sensational when he comes over later. See you soon Bill and Nancy.

Somehow I reckon Colleen might not have had to pack that scarf seeing it's summer in Texas 8). Good luck Pete.

Miss Alison !!!

We'll see on that but my ribs still hurt from tangling with a couple of the Super Seniors last time I was over there.The ground is a lot harder at Wandring than at Narrogin.Hope things are going well there.
Take care.

There is no way i'm giving you the kiss of life this time!!lol

If I can talk Bill into riding in Kansas I will glue him to the seat, that kiss of life sounds bad! Thanks to Jim and Christine Garvey for a great night out, Sydney is such a beautiful city when you know it! Hope we get to Tx, the tornado thing just north sounds bad.

Hey Mates !!!

I'm off to pickup Pete & Colleen Lee at the airport.They should arrive on time 1.45 PM here in about an hour and a half.No severe weather around here yet although the weatherman is saying we might still get some later and tonite.

We'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks for all the concern.We'll take care of both of them while they are here.
