Sunday afternoon I'm on the gate for my second 50 plus Moto, we were at Briarcliff Motocross Park in Ohio and, we were combined/ staggerstart with the 40 plus "kids",,,, Anyway, dude shows up behind me - tells me to back my CRF 2 fiddy out of the rut and, as I do, The Tim Ferry spends the next 2-3 minutes meticulously digging out my rut and packing my gate, as only a pro could. Of course, my luck, NOBODY (!!!??) had even a camera phone to document the action, but, i tells ya, it happened and, it blew me away. Totally made this old sailor's day/week/decade. Thank you, so much, Red Dog, for taking the time and for being so kind. * That boy of his, Evan, watch that kid....Timmy is probably now in California, helping coach Trey Canard, but again, I wanted to emphasize that his wacky gesture reminded me how very much I love this silly, filthy, wonderful sport and, the many thousands of fantastic brothers and sisters that participate with us.....Group hug,

**Timmy didn't notice my race-pants zipper was busted, thank God, but he did issue a reprimand for only 35 hours on my '14 CRF AND, shake his head in disgust, that my rear - tire was on backwards (shhhh).

Very cool !! Did you holeshot ? Sounds like a "Ferry" tell day. In all seriousness, I'm happy for ya, I had a similar situation when a local pro hooked me up with a new tire on race day, I'm 54 now and I'll never forget the guy and how humble he was. Anyway, great story, picture's, track, and a cool looking crotch seeking dog with a balloon on its paw.

Great jump out of the gate, cut over on my buddy, Dick, and his '16 KXF450, thought I had it, only to have a YZ450 blast outta nowhere around me. Only three riders left in 2nd Moto. I still suck. Still love it.

Looks like a fun track for amateur riders, wish we had something like that (along with the weather) around here.

Gates looked pretty full. Things I read on here make it like tracks are a ghost town.

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.
