Hey there Lisa, I knew you were going to go. You however, need to check This thread It was on page 2. Wich I could go, way too much to do.

Oops! Being on page 2 I guess I didn't notice it!
Besides, I just got confirmation from Steve L that we have tickets.
You know him, Scott, and he missed the last 2 years!

Wish you could join us too, but I totally understand about
all you have going on!
We'll miss you!

That reminds me, Rita called this morning when my phone was broken and I need to call her back tomorrow morning.

Never been my cup of tea, even when I worked in Long Beach; I always wished they had run the race a few blocks north and east of the current course, give the public a look at the "real" Long Beach. Every time I see the commercial on local TV (with Bruce Flanders' voice doing the hype) though, I think back to when I used to run with his younger brother (Paul) and we spent so many weekends at so many drag strips all over the West; hell, sometimes Bruce would even tag along!

Well, Ron, I don't know if you have been down this way lately, but in the last several years they have really done a lot of renovation in the downtown area. I live near Long Beach State....so there are still some very nice areas in the "Real" Long Beach!

Yesm there are a few, but where he is talking about, it still isnt a very nice area.

Well for anyone who is local and interested, there is a free Friday pass in today's Long Beach Press Telegram, along with the fan guide.

"I love the smell of methanol in the morning!" Varroooomm!
