Ducks Along the Blue Ridge 2005
Ducks Fly South 2005
As of today, Zach Huston at the speedway is starting to assign seats and charge everyone's card. If you want a 100% guarantee your members will be seated with their club they should call in the next couple of days. He's going to leave some seats open next to each club for people that call in and ask to be added but the grandstand is down to just a couple hundred seats left so it's reasonable to assume this will sell out and sooner is better than later if you want to be part of this fun and historic part of the weekend.
Tickets are on sale for $170 for Novice, Intermediate and Advanced track time. The link is up on SportBike Track Time:

Hey y'all
There is not much more that I can say that can say it better. I am going to sleep in my own bed tonight. That says it all! My platelets had climbed from 32 to 105, on the way to being normal and my return to riding. I have to go to the local doctor for a complete blood count next week and back to Chapel Hill in a month. I will have to have PET scant every three months for the next year and ever six months on the second year. This is all to see if the stem cell transplant has worked. Lots of time to keep my fingers crossed while they determine my future.
Thank you all for the cards, phone calls, and notes on Caring Bridge. It has been strength to me in a very rough time in my life.

US Desmo member Bill Park has met with Joe Crisalli, President of the Order of the Sons of Italy in Myrtle Beach. Joe is very enthusiastic about the prospects of adding the Italian Motorcycle Show to this years Italian Festival. We can have a large chunk of the parking lot at Broadway at the Beach, just behind the vendors and food court.
He is thinking about charging $25.00 per bike. For your $25 you would get a T-Shirt and maybe a pin or decal to record the event. Any money left over would go to a local charity. A couple of rides around the coastal Carolina for Saturday and Sunday could be organized. A dinner could be scheduled at one of the local Italian restaurants here in Myrtle Beach for Saturday night. A great deal of the tourists will have disappeared by September, making it a very good time to be at the beach.
If you would be interested in participating, please let Bill Park know at bpark@performancehydraulics.net.
