You were not here when we had our post LOCKED, and DELETED.

I'm just trying to keep us within the rules so we continue to have open communication between everyone.

I hope to find out today if the rules have changed about the 1000 posts.

I think Gary posted this up before, anybody up for going out on Saturday? Wouldn't want to enter, but would be fun to go look and maybe do lunch before/after. Homa is out of town all weekend, so I'm up for hanging out.

I went last year. It was cool, but it was a small event.

Some do. MBB goes all the time; I will be hitting the 1/4 mile in Ennis for the first time as soon as my car is fixed.

How's your knee doing, any better?

Knee is better feels stronger but sometimes it does want to buckle if that makes sense.... thanks!

My thought was that we have a lot of good information in some of those threads that has be dug into after we close a thread.

Anyone think we should get a grass roots 1/2 mile or mile event setup for North Texas? With the amount of high end and awesome cars we have up here, it'd sure be fun!

Well I have had a slow leak on my right rear wheel for a few weeks now, I took my wheel up to Discount Tire at Custer & 121, he showed me a small crack in the crap repair that Wheels America did. Wheels America has repaired that same area 3 times. Needless to say I'm in the market for a 19in Fikse Profile 10. If anyone sees one on forum or else where, please let me know.

I may go over to Rim Spec to see if they think they can repair once and for all, but I would rather just get a nice used one.

Let us know when they come up then. They sure aren't advertised very well. The drags obviously can be found all the time, but the mile and 1/2 mile things I've only seen once here in a North Texas.

The one I've used is wheel repair solutions. They are in Carrolton, off of Frankford near I-35. Good guys, quick turn around, and priced reasonably.

I've only seen it once a year up here.

And the "invitation" is my point. An event open to anyone willing to enter, like the Texas Mile. The Texas mile is first come first serve. As soon as 300 are locked in, that's it.
