As for the MRA, I'd definitely be interested in at least seeing the one at PPIR May 21-22. I know one of the guys who's racing that Saturday. We can make an outing out of it! Should be fun.

[thumbsup]

I pulled some volunteer duties at Miller Motorsports. It was a good time even though it rained.....a lot. I camped at the track, they provided all meals and even gave tickets to my wife who did not volunteer. Definitely will do this again next year, met some great people.

I cannot believe you went to Cafe Desmo at Pro Italia. I have been to Pro Italia three or four times and always enjoy myself. I like looking at the bikes in the street and my wallet is always thinner when I leave. MYTDUK
