Agreed, I think I must have been filling in the gaps from personal knowledge and didn't get what you were asking. Glad it's all working out.

As of right now The Texas Sizzler has Main Status. The BOD is drafting some changes which will be made public shortly, but regardless of nomenclature, the Sizzler's status will be "Main", at a minnimum. I think I undrstand the issue Neil. Are you worried that if the permits don't come thru for downt...

Nobody puts Eddy in a corner! Settle down guys. In a perfect world this would all be worked out now, but... The Outlaws are trying to put us downtown.

okay, I'll be the dick - why is it more at the race? Good question. #1 Paypal comes at a price. Paypalling the race and the race paypalling us comes with two sets of fees. #2 The ISSA would prefer to be responsible for collecting the fees, instead of putting another "job" on a contest organizer.

+1 for the suggestion of Rad front, split rear. I'd suggest the silver one. It's one of the first "magic" batch. It belonged to a Sean Dawkins, RIP. The design has not changed, but the materials have, rising metal costs made substitution of steel for the titanium in the silver truck necessary. Good ...

I was thinking the same thing JBH. The only one I can comment on is that fulltracks will feel more stable than mids, but mids will turn more. Almost all of us started with a RTX/s combo at 106mm, switch the stock bushings to something soft in the front, firmer in the rear, wedge the front, dewedge t...

I don't need free, but I do need cheap, airfare is $500+. ...
