Just about every line I pull up to.

Really I feel better when all is going for them and I am able to get in front of them, if for just a short period of time.

there was this fat little shit 8 year old schooling people on the air hockey table at Fat Cat's and i worked his ass. little punk.

on a serious note, no, i have never sandbagged.

hell, i had about 2 years of no racing and injuries, i came back to race and questioned dropping down to the B class but it didn't feel right so i stayed in the A class and got my ass kicked.

Tried it once! But when the water truck passed me I came to the sudden realization that I am just slow now!

Never. I'd rather finish last in my class.

There was this one time where I was late down to the gate - Literally rolled up behind it and it droppped. Wasn't 100% sure it was my moto to begin with. Started near last and nearly picked everyone off. I was so in the zone that moto, the only thing I remeber from it is thinking to myself on the last lap - "Did I just dog the 450 Beginner class?"

Once in motocross, I finished 8th. Is that considered sandbagging?

Nope, I always felt that riding with faster riders made me faster. Just being first all the time was just a waste, plus the faster the class the less I had to mess with squids. While all my friends stayed in C class, I was B then A, then pro. Now I'm just as slow as them again. Funny how that works. Don't ride for 4 years and then ride for 1 month and then not again for 4 more years. Then 5 times a year. Just doesn't cut it for staying fast...

I did one time, in a team race. My buddy was a novice and the guy he was supposed to race with him got hurt,I hadnt raced in 5 years but I was there and he wanted to race, so I raced novice with him under the other guys name. We worked our way into 3 in the int class that left 45 seconds before us before my arms blew up. It was fun, knocked down 2 int riders in my pursuit of glory.

Got protested , but we passed because our friend who was hurt put his gear back on and I disappeared.

Raced the 45+B class once and took off the same time as the 45+A class. Ended up 4th in the B class but if I would have entered A I would have got 2nd overall. Learned my lesson.

At the state fair race a few years ago when I was in C class, during sign up I noticed they didn't offer a B class, just pro, C, and beginner. A lot of fast B riders had signed up for C so me and my friend said fuck it and rode beginner. It ended up being a monsoon and I crashed out anyway. I did feel bad, and like a complete fucking loser when they announced the D class was up and it stood for domination.

And I entered an ironman hare scramble in C class last year because I had never ridden in the woods before, but that was a mistake. I let everyone go off the start and the traffic was horrible. I DNF'd after a run in with a tree anyway.

It will be interesting to see how many d-bags on this board won't respond or admit to sandbagging. As for myself, when your this slow, why bother.
