Jon W, it sounds funny to me the M/C's would not have had the same  
thing happen to them that happens to the cars when entering the  
impound gate. My time was always written down as I stopped at the  
entrance. The guy has a table and an umbrella. Maybe I'm missing  
something here where the M/C inspection team want each competitor too  
check in with them too.  Maybe the M/C guys don't stop at the gate or  
are told during inspection that they are to check in only with the  
inspection trailer. I'll see Russ and Tom at the Friday meeting and  
ask them.

Just remember that even tho I'm back this year you still have the  
Heads until you find someone else :<)...J.D.





J.D:

Not that we've gone to impound all that many times -- but more than  
just a few times -- at the "gate" we'd slow down to say hi and get  
the slip signed -- and we'd get waved through without having to stop  
for a signature or check of the timing slip.  We both know that we're  
supposed to check in -- but it hasn't been required of us each and  
every time.  Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I do make sure once we're in impound -- usually before I take the  
time to park the rig -- that I scurry over to the bike trailer and  
get someone to log us in so there is an official time of arrival on  
the slip/paperwork.

I don't tell folks NOT to stop at the gate when I'm inspecting, and I  
don't remember getting told that, either.  Yes, please -- get Russ  
and Tom together so all the racers are playing on the same field.

PS  Whaddaya mean, find someone else -- to be the official Potentate  
of Porta Potties?  You think I'd give up that honorable title without  
a struggle?
