I raced the outside the opening laps,the guys train the insides so passes are in bunches if you start is midpack.
I used my sitelap to push the edge and feel out the outsides. Go out late and get the cobbwebbs off,have a spare goggle when you roll in for the 2 card.
Watch like hell as you roll in for the 2 card where they are spraying water.
They pull the track in between motos,not all but sections,whatever they can get to,hence the reason i went out late on my sitelap.

Some 51cc, 45+, 50+, and "C" classes go 15 minutes.

DC was killin it on his 125! he musta cased something when they edited stuff bc that video was pointed down quickly lol.
That dogleg was a good spot for me,one rutt inside with the ripped up 1st turn stuff for 20 feet outside it. Go thru there feet up pinned on the outside of guys just letting it float like in my tobacco patch.
And the big righthand sweeper in the infield like a banked dirtrack.
The most important thing is the next moto,like i posted,dont wad on the 1st turn 1st moto and be done by trashed bike or body.
2nd moto 5 guys dont show because they got 36 thru 40 and if you see on the line after you've rolled in a large open space where those guys are missing I'd rather start with room than with my bars touching 2 wildeyed guys on either side.
In 02ish there was a guy lined up beside me in openface jt ,gear from that era and on a old Suzuki. I knew the guy was nuts,2 cards goes up and he is sitting there 2 minutes pinned,I'm looking at him and he's bouncing like hillbilly hillclimber in on any sunday. Gate drops and he turns dead sideways hits me square in the leg not a foot in front of the gate.

Hillbilly caught me a few times....I passed 6-7 riders on the last lap one year.
30% Humidity? Hahahahahah ---- nuff' said
get to the staging area as late as you can and not bake (Go see ahead of time when it is realistically the latest you can arrive and not lose your gate pick) time it within a few minutes
vet motos are the worst pileups - stay clear of anything
go out last on your sighting lap and take your time - you have the control then - when you get back you will be in full race face and not waiting for "me" to delay the race until I am ready (remember, you have at least 2 minutes when you get back)
hit the "burn out" area to blow off some nerves - pump your forearms a bit
hit the beer tent and enjoy the bench racing - this race is so "not" important in the big picture of life
my biggest - best/worst memories in order are The Coombs Family , the beer tent - first turn crashes and the beer tent.
ENJOY YOURSELF

The 1st year of transponders homer Simpson built this lean too structure before the finish that picked up the signal,that thing freaked me out ever lap,half the screws were broke off and the other half weren't in but part way.
To this day - that is the worst injury I have had. My neck is so jacked, I can't take any stress on it at all.
I have been seeing doctors ever since.
I have had 3 or 4 MRI's just to see if the bone spurs are getting worse. I type this knowing they are.
Worst injury I have had - long term.
Pit Row
I'd seen that happen more than a dozen times i guess.
Another year it poured,they cancelled then reracked when the sun came out. They scrapped mud off the 1st turn over to the fence.
I get a great jump and run it on in on a 250 smoker,as i turn there are no other bikes but being inside i had to slow just a tad.
All a sudden a upside down honda is in my armpit knocking my left hand off the bar,I keep it pinned,run into the mud and loose 15 spots.
As i complete a lap teggers is wobbling toward a mule,his dunlop tracks in my armpit.
Good times.....

Yeh. Hillbilly - Good times if i could remember them. phuhuk hue
My 3 worst concussions were there. 2 on the starting gate, on the roof... the third - in the first turn.
Actually - I had an old man killer at Breman... I expect no memory after 65 from that one.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Good thymes....
Please resume your normal scheduled programming. Something about Loretta Lynns and AnimalHungry, I think.
I used my mountain bike to go into the red zone 90 minutes or so before my moto. This keeps me from blowing up on track. There is a long hill as you go toward Lorettas house ,I used it to warm up.
And,motos start a 7.30 each morning ,it is great fun to get up at first light,go for a bike ride to get flowing then grab a cup of coffee and go watch.
When i was 1st moto I'd get up at 4am and do my thing with flashlight to get my 90 minute prior to moto workout in.
But that 1st moto of the day is such fun to do.
Post a reply to: Loretta's help?
