I was watching the first 450 moto from Muddy Creek and noticed what looked like an Asterisk guy motioning for Reed to pull off. Did anyone else see this? Did I miss something like a downed rider or something in the track?

I saw it and was wondering the exact same thing. Anyone else know what was up?

I was telling him to pull off and go home until he is ready to "race". From the couch of course...

I've got $20 on it being a flagger who lost track; or simply another idiot.

There was down rider at the exit of that turn. I was only trying to get the riders to choose an alternate line. There where some giant Lucas Oil advertisement balloons pushed up against the inside of that turn that I thought might make it difficult for riders to see the exit of the turn. Some riders also have a hard time keeping their heads up when racing so I have to wave frantically hoping I might be able to catch their attention.

Dude, you weren't supposed to notice that. Reed wasn't following script, so they wanted him off the track. You shouldnt have made this public.
Put on your tinfoil hat and leave town for a couple days...

I appreciate it too. But it's sure a buzzkill for Vital. We coulda gone 10 pages on this if Eddie hadn't come along with a perfectly good explanation.

You'd take smart everyday. If it were only available around here, everyday...

Eddie did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. By the way Eddie, we both went to Canyon High School together. I graduated in 1987. I am one of the Beaver brothers who used to have the huge partys on Vasquez Cyn Rd.
