Iv'e been 3 times & have had the time of my life. I highly suggest you attend the dinner & all the after parties on Saturday night. Forget about racing Sunday too, trust me.

A few pics from over the years.......

Toby Henderson signing autographs. In 05' I ended up in a hotel lounge bsing ' with him & a few other dudes at 3am in the morning. Don't ask me how I got there.


Just one of the hundreds of displays in the museum.


One of my alltime highlights while at a Rockford event, meeting Jim Melton of JMC fame & ABA Hall of Famer.

So who's going?

I'd love to go, but I guess I'm going to have to get out of the landscape maintenance business first. No way I can justify turning away work to go.

My cell phone started buzzing with test messages last night around 10:30pm & hasn't stopped as of right now. I literally have received 50+ tx's, that's a HUGE amount for me. People & friends from all around the U.S., pretty awesome!

BMX rules!

I watched on the Go211 stream and I think I saw Jack Kelley out there rockin' it too.

We missed Rockford this year. We have been for the past three and its always a blast. Bruce mentioned the Vintage parties and stuff. Cool beans, but I never went. It was so exhausting getting the kid(s) through a day of racing there that i usually just went out to dinner with some folks and crashed afterward.

There are definitely two streams of activity though: The Old Vintage guys, and the racer set, and the funny thing is that each group really sticks to itself. I was one of the few that would bridge the two because I always had to check out the old-school bikes. I also always bought tickets to the Vintage dinner and party - I just never went.

Rockford is good times. Also one of the nicer facilities in the country. My only warning would be the heat and the fact that it rains every year, and once that wet Soil-Tac works its way onto the turns, it is slicker than "gorilla snot" (a Burlin Harris quote).
