defending AMA U.S. Flat Track National Champion and factory KTM rider,

called me today to tell me he will see us on Friday! This will be Chris'

first trip to the Dairyland Classic since winning the AMA Hot Shoe Event

in 2000.

Chris has spent the better part of this week at the bedside of our good

friend Terry Poovey, and Chris reports that Terry is doing well, all

things considered. The doctors are very pleased with his progress thus

far. Chris said he will personally make sure the Poovey family knows that

we are collecting money to help pay Terry's medical bills (instead of

collecting money for the Jim Sumner Memorial Dash For Cash), and he is

confident they will be very pleased to hear that.

Rich King, the long-time Harley-Davidson factory racer and 2001 Dairyland

Classic champ, is also planning on competing on Friday, against his son,

Aaron, who sports #80K and made his first National Championship event at

Springfield, Illinois this past weekend.

On a sour note, Willie McCoy #59 phoned in his cancellation. He suffered

a serious hand injury competing in Springfield last weekend, and needs a

few weeks to let the stiches heal up before the next National event.

Hopefully we'll see Willie in 2007. We wish him a speedy recovery.

The film crew filming the documentary "Flat Track Unleashed" will be

present with their cameras rolling on Friday night. Visit www.ftfc.com

for the latest on their efforts to produce a behind-the-scenes portrayal

of flat track racing in the 21st century.

The rainy May weather is finally pushing away to the East, just in time

for June!
