Why bother with jefferson? Shenandoah is a much more fun track.

Nick - Jefferson got extended and is now much bigger

Marty When we do the April - Shenandoah is there any chance we can do a day on the extended Jefferson Circuit?

I agree with you Nick (I was promoted at Shenandoah twice!) and thanks for your support. With the whole new section at Jefferson, I'm sure even for just a day it would have been nice to try out. Unfortunately, BMW has a lock on Jefferson that weekend and was unwilling to share.

I have recently been checked into the black run group by the Potomoc region. Will this be recognized by Riesentoter?

Out of region promotions for advanced level run groups (white, black, red) still require a checkout ride and 2nd opinion for RTR. So, not knowing who you are, and not knowing your driving history, that is how we handle all advanced level out of region promotions.
Thanks, Marty

This looks like a complete list and should still hold today, especially considering the author. I guess the only thing I could add is your speed in picking up a bar tab.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Hey Big Foot!
How did you ever get the "Broken Crankshaft Award"? I rode with you early in your driving career, and I thought you should take up electric spot car racing.

I did take up slot car racing, but I kept getting black flagged. Very embarrassing when the other drivers are all twelve year old kids.
