Bryan..

I told Wayne last year that this what was going to happen..

I know that Berney and you are within the rule to use and have
crossovers, but like every other track that has them, they also have
either a low or no bike count. I talked to Bill Baxter last year
about this and he said that they use to have 30 to 50 bikes every
weekend. Over the couse of one winter 3 bikes installed crossovers
and there bike count inside 1 month fell to 5 to 10 bike. By the end
of the season there were just 3 bikes, can you guess which 3???

Please do not take this as an attack on Berney and you. I like you
both and have the upmost repect for both of you. I also feel that you
both are very fine racers and don't need the crossovers. But I'm not
you and you are the ones that have made the choice to use them.

So now you ask, what do we do to raise the bike count???
When I started racing in 2000 all I use to hear from the street
racers was "I can't beat a wheelie bar bike" So in 2001 I won the
Championship on a stone stock street bike.. Just to prove that yes
you can beat a wheelie bar bike.

But now you have a whole new problem with the crossover and this is
one problem I don't know how to solve without someone getting pissed
and there feeling hurt, on either side of the issue....
