Wyked...Most of us enjoy a little cultural exchange every now and then. It either gives us conviction or makes us want to get the hell out of here. LOL |

You people in Wisconsin should really take in the Springfield Mile this Labor Day weekend. It isn't that far; I think it's about five hours from Milwaukee. And I bet you'll find it to be one of the most exciting races you've ever been to. If you've never been to Springfield, you have no idea what you're missing. |

I went to Del Mar back in '98. While all Mile racing is exciting, there's a reason why Springfield is called The Mile. In 20 years of going to Springfield, I've never seen a dull race. Even Rob Muzzi stated that for spectating, nothing beat a Mile. |

Not sure I can tell you HOW....I a CERTAIN I can tell you how NOT to.
I tried to learn following Erik Buell on a winding road in Wisconsin. I advise against that.

Nope.....I jumped a flight, flew to MKE, rented a car and set out in search of Road "X".
For the record, EVERY ROAD IN WISCONSIN, not unlike the elusive algebraic variable, is known as "Road X". |

but Road X leads to you Piper, which leads to Town Line, which will, eventually, and with proper wanderlust, get ya to the intersection of Hogsback and St Augustine . . . . .
good fun |
