I'm envious Bruce! I know you are gonna have fun.

If any of you guys are in AZ for the auctions and have nothing to do, GO TO THE SUPERCROSS RACE. It is an amazing motor sport.

Imagine speed bumps in a parking lot, put about 20 of them one after the other, make them three feet tall, put them right after a 180 degree corner and the goal is to float across the top of them. You need to go about thirty miles an hour and if you screw up, they swallow you whole.

The next trick is right after another 180 degree corner you have about 40 feet of run up and then a 90 foot jump, you've only got 40 feet to gain enough speed to clear a 90 foot jump. These athletes do it. Now envision over twenty of these guys on a 20 foot wide track and you get to order a and sit on your fanny to watch, no dust, great noise and the stands are full of hotties trying to pick up the cool riders with the six packs, not the old fat guys with the kegs.

The bikes are about 200 pounds and have over 60 horsepower, try that one on Supercar guys. That equates to a 1000 horsepower Camaro.

Great fun.
