Hi, this is David from California walking down the grandstand of the Las Vegas motor speedway preparing to dance the night away with over

155,000 people from Dush to Dawn at the electric days in Carnival. This podcast was recorded at

107 pm on Wednesday, May 22nd thinks may have changed but probably not as dramatic as my bike account or energy levels from all the
