Texas Scooter Times

Red, Thanks for all the memories. I hope these pictures are kinda what you have been looking for. My mom took so many pictures it would take me a
week to scan and send them all to you. I figured I would send the ones that I knew for sure you knew who the riders were. If you ever want more please
let me know and I will get them to you. Most of my childhood I think was spent at the dragstrip. And most of those you were there as well. These are
memories I will always have and I hope to start bringing my kids to your races. Hopefully to the Dallas race in a couple of wks. You are as much a part
of my family as a select few people are. Yes my dad could be a pain in the ass over the yrs at the track, but he was just so competitive that is what came
out. I really want to thank you for the compliment the other day on your sight in regards to the questions surrounding the bike I am running. My wife
even said that it was really a nice comment for you to make. I hope you continue to do your races. Besides the break my dad took b/c he had too many
kids in the 80's we have always made it a point to go to a race you promote. Unfortunately I will be gone most of the yr next yr (as of right now) and hate
that I have to miss a Labor Day race. Always know you have my dad and I's full supporte.

Racers Son.
