Shop work

We have been pretty busy in the shop with several builds going on. The R1s
sure seem to be popular this year particularly the 09.

Rob Winks seems to be lined up with some pretty good sources and says he
has been selling quite a few of them. He feels that we will probably see
prices on the upswing just based upon availability. The downturn in sales
in the sportbike market the past few years has meant fewer crashed bikes
and ultimately salvaged motors.

This sure has been a hard winter. Really makes you long for the sun and the
chance to go racing. I am not sure who all is headed to Florida. I talked
to Drew Dorsett at the recent Circle Track Expo in Indy and he indicated
that he was planning on making the trip.

I always enjoy seeing which open wheelers are making the move up into the
stock cars. Two names I recognized in this Saturday's ARCA race are recent
Chili Bowl winner Kevin Swindell and Dakota Armstrong. Best luck to both.
