    I’m coming from western Kentucky, close to Owensboro if your familiar. I’m roughly 200 miles away from Haspin acres. Was thinking of coming up Friday or very early Saturday.

    Definitely worth it from that distance to arrive Friday, Saturday that would be up to you. I wouldn't say whether or not it would be worth it to you either way. If the weather doesn't cooperate the place turns into a mess, might not be worth it then.

    From my house just south of Bowling Green, it's about 4.5 hrs to get to the front gate of Haspin. You're closer than me so less than that for you

    Friday would be best. You're also going to be competing for good camping spots especially if it's been raining so the sooner you get there, the better.

    If possible Thursday or very early Friday. The Mx races begin at noon on friday and are my personal favorite part of TF. As mentioned, getting there on Friday leaves you with little choices for camping, as not only have most, if not all, of the trikefesters have shown up but all the locals start rolling in also. If you're just wanting to get an idea of what It's about then sure, anytime would be fine, but if you want to be able to relax and enjoy yourself I would suggest Thursday.

    480R is coming together, much more work than I was anticipating. 650 has finally been running great but valve seals are sa-moked and worse yet the timing chain has started making a bit of noise. I still have a lot of work to do on my truck and the trailer hasn't even been uncovered yet. If everything falls into place, see you boys in June. If the machines don't cooperate it is what it is, might not make it. Time will tell.

    Well here's my bad news....last four days in the hospital for bad heartbeat. Just got discharged an hour ago....of course the repair surgery I have to have is in the middle of TF (June 21st 6am). It's absolutely imperative I get this surgery done ASAP because I keep ending up in the ER once a month all F@#$ed up. They said my complete and total recovery after the procedure is 95% certain and then I'll be able to do all the same stuff I been doing.

    Thought of rescheduling it but if I fall out in the middle of the woods at Haspin, I'll be screwed and I've been in the ER getting shocked back into rythm way too often the last 18 months and there's no sooner slots open.

    So looks I'll be on the sidelines again.

    Enjoy yourselves ladies and gentlemen.

    That's very unfortunate to hear Doug, and I had a feeling something was going on. I was hoping to spend some good time catching up with you this year too, as we've hung out at Haspin in years past but never had a really long sit-down.

    If anyone noticed my post that looked like a terrible joke, that was completely by accident. I wasn't trying to make a joke at all, I didn't even realize how that sounded when I posted it.

    What was the joke? I have a great sense of humor.

    Not to turn this into Chops Medical Problems thread, but I'll offer some perspective to you guys....

    In 2007 (I was 36), I had a huge aortic aneurysm at the root. Seven centimeters across. Genetic condition. They replaced my aorta from my heart to the first branch with a synthetic one and I also got a mechanical aortic valve. This abnormal electrical thing is a rather normal development for people who've had open heart surgery. I knew ahead of time to expect it eventually.

    Now with that in mind, you'll recall y'all seen how me and little Chop fearlessly bombed around TF in 14 and 15 which was also two years after breaking my neck in five places in a rollover crash. So you can see why this is merely aggravating to me rather than a huge thing. It's peanuts compared to the rest of my medical record and my local hospital is full of cardiac badassness from places like Walter Reed medical center who operate on me so I have NO worries at all that I'll be right as rain and back to my normal self very quickly. Just aggravated at the timing especially since I dropped butloads of money to get the R done in time for this year's TF

    THANK YOU for all the kind words though, and have a great TF!
