    Loaded up the trailer and got my trip started Saturday afternoon, met up with a co-worker and we are traveling together

    I'm sitting in a rest area almost 600 miles from home and looking at 1100 more.

    I looking forward to getting my project started and going to new tracks.
    Texas Track Days is holding a event at www.grandsportspeedway.com May 3rd & 4th Motard and mini only on the 3rd and normal bikes on Sunday, Grand sport is 200 miles south from the job so i will be doing a lot driving in the next week. i dont want to look at the fuel bill. (but i will let you guys know how mush I use.)
    This is the first trip in the motor home this session and last year fuel was less then $3 per gallon. We stoped in VA. for dinner and fuel and paid $4.06 per gallon. (55 gallons * 4.06= $223.30 and i still had 1/4 tank left) i'm tired TTL

    OK I made it to Texas :) (Texarkana still 180 miles left ) so fare my trip is running smooth, All my gear is the same place were i put it since i left New Jersey. we had a small problem in TN. 2 semi's got together and block US-40 just east of Lorette lynn's, (TN) my GPS found a route around the wreck and saved about 1 hr. The road was small and but we had a long line cars and even a semi fallowing us up and over the hill :) I will total the fuel bill later today

    I'm back in Dallas tonight ready for work in a few Hrs.
    I spent the weekend a Grand Sport Speedway south of Huston (600 miles round trip) http://www.grandsportspeedway.com/tracks.
    The track is 1.3 miles with 14 turns and new asphalt. This track makes Ponoco east, north, and F-usa feel like a motocross track.
    I had more fun riding the supermoto then the duc. But i forced myself
    I guested coached for Texas Track Days Saturday and Sunday and there program is a lot like ours (SST Base line) there coaching staff and helpers were very nice. I hope i will be able ride with then soon
