SPEEDFREAKS MAKE THE PITCH AND MARIO ‘GOES YARD’ IN THE FREAK NATION– Hollywood, CA (April 28, 2003) – As heard emanating from the Lucas Oil Studios Sunday night, SpeedFreaks and Mario Andretti reiterated how the formerly cancelled Road America Champ Car race made it’s way back onto the open wheeled series play list.
You betcha, the SpeedFreaks national radio show was the catalyst.
“Absolutely, absolutely. After our conversation a few weeks ago (in the SpeedFreaks Pits), it just got the energy going and a lot of reaction from the fans,” says Mario ‘Mojo’ Andretti. “It just rekindled the interest and a lot of voices came to the surface. We had to listen to the fans. That interview we did played a big part.”
“Why there wasn’t an open wheel race named after the Mad Italian in the first place is beyond me,” says former Italian restaurateuring busboy turned SpeedFreaks Prez, Kenny Sargent. “The next step? The Mario Andretti Grand Prix at Road America, presented by SpeedFreaks… Oh boy, Katy bar the door!”
You can hear the interview and the show in it’s entirety on the SpeedFreaks’ web site HARLEY’S 100TH THREE DAY SPECIAL–Participate in three days of special Anniversary events in and around Milwaukee that will include music, entertainment and Harley-Davidson history.

We’re novices-in-training but received some hints recently. John from StraightPipez sent the following tips: “You are using the BEST made michine for welding. Miller is the Best. The “silicon” your were told to use is actually called Tip Dip. Avialable at any welding supply store in a spray can or as a paste. There are also tools and reamers for cleaning the tip. There is also a 10 in 1 pair of pliers that’ll do the trick. When you use the spray, try not to cover the actual weld area, just the surrounding area. The spray is made to keep the splatter from sticking, but won’t hinder the weld.” THE BIKERNET WHISKEY HUNT–We’re looking for 12-Year-old Tullamore Dew, an Irish whiskey. Here one connection. “We just received our delivery of Tullamore Dew 12 years old today. You mayorder it online at www@missionliquor.com or give us a call at (877)772-0500or (626) 794-0500.

I spent a couple of days in intensive care inKuwait after my body told me to fuck off. Sucks when you can’t breathe andyour chest has an invisible tank parked on it. Serves me right to try tokeep up with these youngsters. Prognosois : Angina & asthma. My time in theboonies is over. I’m heading back home to Colorado on the 11th, stopping inGermany to see how much beer I can consume in a two-hour layover. Here’s a good quote. Do with it as you will. “It “It is not the critic who counts, not theman who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deedscould have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in thearena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strivesvaliantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the greatenthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; whoat the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, atworst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his placeshall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory ordefeat.” THEODORE ROOSEVELT TEXAS SCOOTER TIMES PROUDLY PRESENTS SWAP MEET TEXAS MAY 4TH AT THE HEART OF TEXAS FAIRGROUNDS–Vendor Rentaly $30 approx. 10×10 (includes 1 admissionReservations RecommentedAdmission $8 for Adults$5 for Kids 5-12Under 5 FREE* Live Band* Door Prizes & other contests* Bargains* Discounts* Parts & PartyShow Hours: 11am-5pmVendor Setup: 8am-11amH.O.T Directions: From I-35 Exit Valley Mills, Go East on Valley Millsto Bosque Blvd. Take a right, Fairgrounds are approx 1 mile down on the left.For Info Call: 254-687-9066or Visit: www.texasscooter.comMark Your Calendar for May 18th!!!!for the 2nd Annual Dallas ChampionshipsAt Red Line RacewaySee You There!!!
