Wow, I didn't realize how tall the stakes were in that race, a DQ Blizzard. Well worth a man's life.... lol. Good stuff. So did you think 591 beat you? I couldn't tell, the scorers said he did. You did a nice job over those tires, glad geo didn't use any with rims still in em.....

I was doing some volunteer work (= in the way) flagging and after watching the trike almost take Riz out...a few motos later ....Michael Plas almost ran me down when he thought it was the checkers and went straight toward me rather than making a right toward the whoops since it was the white flag lap!..I was jumping around like my pants were on firfire to avoid that KTM!

Not much of a responder on Pitrace but here is my 2 cents. My response about the starts is this. For those of you who have gone to Smith all year George was know for BIG berms in the corners. The last practice or two George had been preparing his equipment for auction and was NOT tilling the track deep like he usually does. This resulted in slick none bermed corners as we saw on Monday at the race. I think if he would have used his equipment we could have done the up and down hill section. His racing path was no where near as wide as it usually is because he was limited on what equipment he wanted to use. All the other races George keeps the starting area Tilled very deep throughout the day hence slows down first corner speeds. I did not see him till the start area one time on Monday thus the was a fast runway into the first corner if he did it was not with the big tiller. Again my observations and opinion only. I think you need to continue to till very deep allowing riders to create the large berms for practice. Turns are what wins motos and have a place that provides that type of corning practice is awesome.

These pics are the most I've seen George smile in 25 years... haha! I hope he's going to be OK in his retirement. Looks like he's looking forward to it in the pics.
I like the track tilled up somewhere in between where it was Monday, and where it usually is. If all the three and 4 wheelers ran first (or last), then the track'd have been disced up for the bikes-- I think that would do it up perfectly. Once ya have them out on a track-- it's like polished glass with butter for bikes. I hated when you'd be in your race-- and you'd come around the track and find that sombody had done some mid race discing and/or watering. I liked the start chute smooth as opposed to disced every few races. If they DO decide to keep it tilled in the future-- I think it'd be better to use a smaller till than what's been used in the past. Just my $.02. --L*64
