I had a great time even though I only made 5 runs. Well, 6 if you count the walk/run my fat butt made to go ALL the way to the back slolom to fix some cones but we won't talk about the time on that one! If anyone got any video of me... which would have been easy as I was pretty slow... I would love to have a copy. Let me know and I can send you a link to ftp it to me!! John

I think I got both of ya...on a short clip. But I gotta figure out had to convert from cam to computer. I haven't had time to work on that yet - but stand by.

1st, a VERY HUGE THANKS to "DesertDawg" Dwayne for setting this up and making this happen! Also, a HUGE THANKS to ALL those that worked behind-the-scenes to make this happen better.... Another HUGE THANKS to "Mr. Loud Pedal" Dave for an AWESOME BBQ Experience! I knew you were on the Cam-Side, but not exactly where.... We walked the whole site, and while walking out, caught the whiff of BBQ, and then "homed in".... Well worth it! I've NEVER had better BBQ! NEVER! I'm looking Forward to doing this again!

Was it the one where I was drunk and silly and wearing the chartreuse and clear ballet outfit? I am not worried about that one since it was enjoyed by dozens on Argentinian Cable.

Or was it my extra secret RON JEREMY training video?

LOL

Dwayne - did the $$$'s work out ok?

It was close enough that I'm happy, and Jammye isn't mad!

You can't beat the mail order places. they have a national reputation to uphold so they are pretty reliable. Jegs, Summit, places like that have 100's of combos to pick from or just try a google search for crate motors and start clicking! Other than LPM or Bromley's I really can't recommend anything local...
