Didn't you make a weirdo post about a month ago about how you are leaving this forum? 

I think you should stick to the plan.

Also a great time to remind everyone that ONLY ONE PERSON gets the holeshot. I can’t stand it when I hear people say “I got 3rd in the holeshot.” No, you got a 3rd place start. Rant over.

Jesus I was at the race and don't even remember it being like that. He had a good jump in the main too and got shuffled back. I feel like that's happened a bunch this season.

He obviously jumped the gate, race should have been red flagged.

This was 90% of my starts in my early racing days. And no one ever believed my bike was stock. I always had good reaction times, but that 2004 YZ250F was a rocket once I clicked into 3rd. This is Millville in 2005 250B. Shoutout to Alex Martin on the Kawi #144, who will sweep around my outside after the first turn. His first year on a big bike.

Nice! The Kawazuki 250F sure was popular in your region.

Yeah but that's because Suzuki and Kawasaki had very good contingency back then.

The kawazuki, still my favorite bike. Still more comfortable on that bike to this day then any other bike I've owened. Might try to cram A FI motor in the roller i have one day.

One would hope but he's got about a thousand more to post before the end of the month to meet his quota.  🙄

There's a smattering of disgruntled types who like to spew their hatred. If it makes their homelife better I don't mind. It's certainly not in my best interest to respond since they're seemingly on the lunatic fringe. They simply cant ignore, weak individuals 😳

Great chassis, one of the first 250F's that actually felt like a 125 as far as ergos and handling. But that engine was an absolute time bomb.

Who was #1?  A vet rider?
Is it just me or does that picture not do Millville justice?  To me, that pic makes the start look fairly narrow.  Just not as grand as it really is.

That still photo really emphasizes how good his gate jump was.  
 

I was a good starter….  Fast for the first 5 laps or so.  Then wtf happened???  A half assed training program, that’s what happened.
