That's Gasworks park, located on the shore of Lake Union. Used to be a good place to go hang out 20 years ago, probably still is. | ||

Code Red, Your Dad called last night and gave me your racing schedual! I will not be able to make the races this weekend because we are going to Calif for Easter. I have already told Chris that for Mothers Day alls I want to do is come watch you race! He said OK. I have you on the calender for all the future races and plan to attend. When I get back from Calif I hope to get the t-shirts made too. Have a great time Sat, remember....Look, lean and roll threw the corners! GOOD LUCK! Loni | ||

Steve (Turnagain): Gasworks Park used to be the site of a coal-fired power plant. It was used last in the 70's I think. The grounds had to be thoroughly scrubbed for PCB's and other bad stuff before it was declared "safe". Then it was closed again for more of same. Nowadays the park is a hangout for kite flyers, sunbathers, fireworks displays, low-key keggers, and picnics. But don't go in the water.  I'll send you the original images from school. Prof | ||

Hey, Kim, Deb, Joy, (Loni if she wasn't crippled), etc. if you're looking for a track day, June 25th at PIR is Women's Day. Sponsored by MotoCorsa, the Ducati dealer in Portland. $150.00 includes instructors, lunch, good safety. Steve Breslow and I went to the one on Monday and it was loads of fun, in a safe environment. The ambulance never had to start its engine. The Women's Day is designed to take some of the pressure off of competing with the "Boys". A good tune up for SuperSplash, an excuse to call in sick at work, good practical experience, a chance to go scary fast if you feel like it. If interested, you can reserve a spot by calling in with a credit card #to 503-292-7488. | ||

Ray - WTF? Bock Bock Easter Bunny! Deb & Teresa - Did you guys make it home ok? Post and let me know how your ride went, hope it wasn't to cold. Teresa is welcome any time, the more the merrier! Bob I'm sure didn't mind sleeping on the couch...... it was priceless to listen to you two giggle about switching books after I left the room. I almost had to come in and say "girls quiet down now", that I'm sure you haven't heard in a long time. Bob - I trust you made it home ok, Deb called back right after you left. Thank you for coming and supporting Cody and helping out. BTW- Dave called tonight to say that he really appreciated all your help too! You are a great friend and for being a registered kid-hater you are the bestest Uncle/Pit Crew go to Flagger Man ever! We love you! Kimberlie | ||

Kim, ride was great/ little cold but no rain. We both made it back just fine. Theresa finally found her (groove) Came up 14 from the bridge at end of 197. Thank you so much for all you hospitality.. Also Bob is awesomeSNICKER< SNICKER, later Deb | ||
| Buellnuts |
Yes, I made it also. Here is cody in the heat of Battle!!  It was sure great seeing Cody race and being a part of it. Yes, I'm a Known registered Kid hater but have made an exception to the rule with Cody. In The Rain Forest, Bob | ||

Proud Racer  Mom and Dad, You must be proud!! Thanks to Fred Wood for sending me these to post!! Bob | ||
| Kimberlie |
Bob- Yes we are very proud, so are Grandma and Grandpa! Thank you again for coming out and supporting Cody that really meant a lot to us I can't tell you how much your friendship means to our family. You took the time to actually ride all the way down and then spent the entire day at the track..... wow! Thanks Mom & Dad too for coming out and supporting Cody, you are the best Grandparents! And thank you Dad for the photos. Cody did so good. He got into a little bit of a mix up as one rider tried to pass another and that shoved one of the riders knees into Cody, I thought he was going to lose it but the little guy gained control of his bike and on he went. He only got lapped one time by a bike that was 10hp. His speed has really increased it is good that he is riding with the adults he is getting a lot of good experience. Mike will have to post more later from a man's point of view.... Kimberlie | ||

One more!  Bob |
