    Just got back from our Louisiana road trip. Good friends, good scenery and good food.

    Oh No! Once you've tweeked your machine just right, you have to keep it!!! Besides, I think you have a more family oriented three wheel vehicle.

    Winning is fun, but it doesn't happen often to me. I just like tearing down the track as best I can. To me that is FUN!

    You'll have it worn down real good before the burnout contest. You'll need a new one to ride home from SpyderFest anyway.

    Nope! A couple skid marks and nobody has complained about the noise yet. Not telling you where the road is.

    I hope that if this is true that someone official informs us in time to adjust our plans, or maybe that is the plan!

    I will see what I can find out. I am not making any promises that I can find anything out.

    I totally understand where everyone is coming from.

    What I can tell you is that I know the rydes will be handled differently this year. We listened to the comments and hopefully have that somewhat worked out. We all know it will never be perfect for everyone. We do the best job that we can.

    I will put drag racing back on the top of my list for next year.

    If I find anything out I will let you know.

    Sad to say, but maybe it is time to rename it from Spyderfest to just FEST!

    The first time. We all remember the first time.... What could possibly go wrong? Such a bucolic setting.....


    SethO was toasting this guy with his hot run.....



    But at the 'finish' line for the performance testing, not drag racing, were the people...10 feet from 80 mph....no problem.



    And then came LEO, below.

    Just sharing some memories. See you at SF7!

    Great pictures. Thanks for the memories! The second year was the first time I 'performance tested.' I won and have been hooked ever since.

    In the last picture, is that Jedd winning Doc?

    I really need to make it to Spyderfest next year. I have been to plenty of Spyder events, even have a card for the first Spyderfest but I have yet to make it to one. Well, I just retired so I hope to make it next year. We are also going to try to go to the Valcourt 10 year event so my wife says I will have to go alone to Spyderfest, she is going to keep working for a few more years and only has so much vacation time. Glad you guys are all having fun.
