sign of the times

Congrats to all of the participants of the LRL; if I don't start showing up to more races I'm going to start getting the rep of being a softie (maybe I already have a rep).

Planning on a ride at Bur Oak on Thursday evening - Wednesday night races start next week - anyone interested in trying the trails?

Also, going to try Grand Beach sometime next week in the afternoon and was wondering if anyone would want to try that as well?

Finally, from the wire services....

(KP International) A man aroused suspicion from a taxi driver taking him to the Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England after the man requested the driver play music that sparked terrorism fear.
Harraj Mann was headed for the airport to catch his flight to London, when he asked to listen to The Clash's punk anthem 'London Calling' and began singing along.

Some of the lyrics from the song, including "War is declared and battle come down," along with Mann's demeanor made the driver apprehensive so he notified police who arrested Mann while he was on the plane. (Mann also reportedly sang along to Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song' that includes the line "The hammer of the gods will drive out ships to new lands, to fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming").
Mann was escorted from the plane, had his luggage searched and was put through rigorous questioning.
After a thorough check under the Terrorism Act, Mann was released, but his plane had already taken off.
"Safety is paramount and we respond to concerns from members of the public in the way they would expect us to," said a spokesperson for the Durham police.

"I was laughing about it," said Mann. "But all my mates are absolutely furious. It's just left me bemused."
Mann said, "I mean obviously the political climate these days is like walking on egg shells, but I mean there's caution and then there's taking it to the point where it's absurd and ludicrous."
