You thought that everything was good to go at that point?


Yeah, but as I was getting my stuff on to go down to the line I yelled to another mechanic to get the bike started, but it wouldn’t fire. I started screaming! We popped the fuel tank off again, and no fuel was coming out. We switched the fuel pump out, and the tank was full of fuel, and the bike still wouldn’t start. Then we switched out all of the electrical components. The bike finally fired up. I jumped on the bike and pulled out of the pits. I almost hit Steve Giberson [Vital MX Reporter]. He wasn’t watching, and I was pinned in third or fourth gear on wet pavement going downhill. I was screaming and whiskey throttling the bike, but he still didn’t hear me. I ended up stopping with about half of an inch to spare of hitting him without crashing the bike. Ryan was down on the line without his goggles on, so he took them out of my fanny pack. I had the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in. He jumped on the bike and stalled it. At that point I thought that we were done, because twice in the pits the bike ran but then wouldn’t start once it was shut off. However, Ryan started the bike on the first kick.

Deaf? Not really. I'd just come over the top of the hill after watching them at work in the pits. Jeff Kardas and I were walking down the hill and watching Dungey come up. I was setting up for a shot of that when Goose came over the top (as he told me later) in second gear pinned.

It's not that I wasn't paying attention, there wasn't time to turn and look, and I didn't know which way he was going to go...so I stayed in the same spot. I didn't want to try and make a big move, and find out he'd picked that direction.

The last thing I want to do is interfere with a race. I'm just not used to pit racers. Wink

From my end, the conversation was, "Hey, Goose, sorry about that, and thanks for not killing me."
