Hmmmm...this is disturbing on so many levels......just 2 quick thoughts.....1. Have you figured out how she ended up in that condition

and 2. have you thought of the implications of your gene pool replicating?

But congrats none the less

I was thinking about being down that way for Daytona this year...but looks like I will on a road trip to Algeria and Finland about that time

Tom,

I have seen that Quadrant in person that is pictured. It definitely doesn't look like a CB motor in a Trident up close. Actually very well done by someone.

It's a little funky now that the AHRMA road races arent until October. Still got MX,CC and Trials over @ Gatorback which is a good time. We are gonna run the CC race and possibly take a stab at the Alligator Enduro.
