Event - The Dairyland Classic Presented by Revolution Performance -

invades the Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth. I am confident that

Mother Nature got all of the rain out of her system in May, and that we

will have phenomenal weather this Friday.

Tickets are selling well at our ticket outlets - Route43 H-D in Sheboygan,

Bob's H-D in Fond du Lac, Suburban Motors H-D in Thiensville, Hal's H-D in

New Berlin, and House of H-D in Milwaukee. Remember that discounted

advanced tickets are available at those outlets, so get them before June 2

and save a few bucks!

The pro division pre-entry list continues to grow, and we plan to have the

top 12 riders in the current 2006 AMA Flat Track National Championship

Singles Series in attendance - Joe Kopp, American Suzuki's Jake Johnson,

American Yamaha's JR Schnabel, American Honda's Bryan Smith, defending

Dairyland champ Shaun Russell, American Suzuki's Kevin Varnes, Sam

Halbert, Johnny "Showtime" Murphree, Herny Wiles, Kenny Coolbeth, American

Yamaha's Rob Pearson, and Bryan Bigelow.

We'd like to issue our usual "congrats" to JR Schnabel for winning the

National Championship TT event in Springfield, Illinois on May 27. It was

JR's sixth consecutive win at the Springfield Arena (3 short track and 3

TT wins to his credit), and it launches him from seventh to third in the

championship point standings, right behind Jope Kopp and Jake Johnson.

Speaking of Joe Kopp, he took a nasty spill at the Springfield Mile on

Sunday while battling for the lead on the last lap. I just talked to him

on the phone, and he said he walked away from the wreck but his bike did

not. He will definitely see us on Friday, and hopefully he will have some

positive news concerning Terry Poovey, who is currently hospitalized after

a multi-rider accident on the last lap of The Mile. My family has known

Terry for 30 years, and a few days ago we were hoping he would attend our

event on Friday. Now we are praying that he will recover from his

injuries. Joe said a number of riders were at the hospital, so it is

comforting to know that Terry is surrounded by his extended family.

Remember that we are opening the pit area from 6:30pm-7:15pm to allow the

spectators a chance to meet their favorite racers before the actual racing

begins at 7:30pm. Most of the riders have lots of personal memoriabilia

so you can proudly wear their colors during the races. In addition, we

have received our 2006 edition Dairyland Classic t-shirts that we will be

selling beneath the grandstands this year to allow you to proudly display

your support of our event year-round!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call 262-339-7430 - that's my

direct line. Reception isn't the greatest on the infield, but every 15

minutes or so I get a signal if I have any voicemails!

I hope to see all of you on Friday night! And if you see me running

around, please don't hesitate to stop me and introduce yourself. No

matter how busy I am, I always have time for a supporter!

And if you still need a place to camp out, don't forget that Road America

has campsites still available. www.roadamerica.com or 1-800-365-RACE.

I can't miss this last pre-race opportunity to thank our many sponsors,

featuring Revolution Performance, Suburban Motors Harley-Davidson, Amsoil,

Swendson Motorsports and Budweiser. Their support has really allowed us

to kick things up a notch this year, and Budweiser has done a phenomonal

job of spreading the word this year, so I am very grateful to them. But I

can't overlook our other sponsors: the Wisconsin Harley Dealers

Association, Pro Motorsports of Fond du Lac, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

of Appleton, Hal's Harley-Davidson, Voodoo Motorsports, Advanced Landspeed

of Plymouth, West Bend Harley-Davidson, Janssen Motorsports, Mueller Sales

& Service, Ozaukee Suzuki, Hobans Cycle, Quick Throttle Magazine, Racine

Extreme, Bob's Harley-Davidson, www.Flattrack.com, Mid-Cities Motorsports,

Bob Barr Kawasaki, and Motorsports Factory. I encourage each of you to

personally thank at least one of these fine institutions for supporting

the Dairyland Classic Presented by Revolution Performance!

See you on Friday!
