    Cuttin it close....

    EDIT: Joel Allen rules!

    Anyone able to haul my bike & trailer from Topsfield MA up to the track sometime before Saturday's races?
    The trailer will be sitting in my driveway, loaded & ready to go for anyone that wants to steal it.
    It has a 1 7/8" ball and a 4 pin flat plug for the lights.


    I'm heading out West for a couple of days this week before the final round... My flight home has me landing at Logan at 9:27am.... I MUST be at Loudon and ready to race in time for race 2, which generally happens at about 12:15 or I lose 3rd overall in LWSB.

    Re: Cuttin it close....

    Yup... we'll see what happens. If I don't make it, I don't make it.

    Definitely gonna have everything ready to go before I take off and I'm gonna see if I can't go to the track straight from Logan, but I'm not sure if that's a possibility yet.

    See if you can get someone to bring your trailer/bike to the track and that way the team can get it on warmers/etc for you. Have your gear and everything else in your truck at the airport and go straight to Loudon. You know you're asking for problems if you detour home...

    Re: Cuttin it close....

    or maybe even better...can you change your flight to in/out of Manchester? Might be worth it depending on the cost

    I'll be up Friday evening, so I can give a hand to my garage mate.

    Hopefully your flight will be running on time. Hopefully, it's not with US Scare.

    This late in the game, it'll probably cost me an arm & a leg. And with all the other stuff I need to get up there, I'm not sure it's a possibility anyway.

    Lets hope Continental Airlines aren't as slow as Continental Tires

    Sorry Pete, I'll be making up school for having today off.

    Richie, make it $1,500 and I'll lie to Pete about having to make up school Saturday.

    Re: Cuttin it close....

    I looked into hauling it for ya, but I'd have to get the hitch, ball, and wiring harness. All of which I don't have. (an extra $300 I don't have right now.)

    I suck.

    If this (or some other solution) doesn't work out Pete, let me know. This is probably the most inconvenient weekend for me to do so, but I could swing out there on my way up, get it off your trailer and onto mine, and bring it up...rather than you miss out on 3rd place.

    As of right now, I'd like this to be a last resort (but I'll keep you informed).

    Woot! Just got off the phone with Joel Allen.
    He's gonna be in Boston on Weds and it sounds like he can pick it up on his way home.

    Pete, no way you can make a run up and drop your trailer off at NHMS before you leave?

    Re: Cuttin it close....

    Epic.... Plans are coming together. I should be covered.

    Only thing I can't do is bring my riding gear on the trip, cuz that'd require checking a bag and I can't sit around waiting around for that when I get back. Not enough time. Maybe I can find some loaner gear while I'm out there. If not, no biggie.
