i remember in '83, i showed up at daytona sx, and it was cold as all get out. it was pure luck that i had a jacket in the trunk, i let the chick i was with wear it, she still complained the whole time. so i go and buy a official, bonifide, certified 25th anniversary daytona 200 knit stocking...

Erin reminds me a bit of Jamie Little, and that is a complement to both. Erin knows the sport. one has to keep in mind, she has a producer hollering orders in her ears, probably all the time. last year in new orleans, i was sitting near the starting line and was able to watch her quite a bit. she...

i was impressed that some of the smaller countries put together a team at all, shows a lot of heart. i had to run to church so i missed the 3rd moto, just as well, i couldnt get video, livewire or anything, you guys did me good on the first 2 heats. hopefully, i can catch a replay somewhere. when...

50.00 for 45 mins would be unacceptable to me. of course, i''m old school. i raced in the 70's and 80's. never paid a dime to just ride practice, nobody did back then. there were many claypits in our area and everyone of the had some type of track layout, some better than others. a buddy's dad owned a paving...

we contemplate what it will take to get the sport to the next level or mainstream. as the sponsors jump on board, there is going to be some changes ... some we will like and some we will not like. larocco's leap will always be larocco's leap, gravity cavity will always be that, the elevator at gainesville will always be...

i have to give it to henry, but my hats off to pourcel, all heart and talent. i have to put windham in there somewhere, they say a broken femur is a biggie, thankfully, i dont know that first hand, but windham took a lot of time off and came back with speed to boot, but then again, i'm a...

bobbym, i respect you and respect you emotion for the sport and your favorite riders. i also appreciate all the different things you bring to the table here on this board. i am a long time windham fan, so i experience frustration myself, but i'll always be a windham fan. if you ever come to a southeast race some time...

5/31/2009 11:51am
as someone addressed in another thread, too many yellow type flags out there. the best flag to use is the white/red cross, its the only flag of its kind with the exception of the white flag at the finish line jump. in josh's defense, he's not putting around on a sunday afternoon stroll, he's hauling ass. he paid attention to...

i really felt bad for him when he came in here and asked for help and he got his teeth kicked in. i thought this board had more respect for a privateer. i cant help but think if he had been a regular poster in here, he would have been treated different. i applaud him for trying to be innovative...

ok, i've got a few from the other side of the sign up booth: riders who show up every week with the numbers 4, 14, or 3 .... knowing everybody else runs those numbers and we will have a duplicate number problem. riders who always sign up after sign up is closed. this slows down the prep process between sign...

the track closed up at the milton site, about a year after hurricane Ivan and was moved to mossy head (crestview) as west florida mx park at walton platation. craig woolard sold the track last year to the folks that owned the baker fla track. to my knowledge, they are still racing in mossy head although i havnt heard anything...

i'm 46 years old and never had children, but i raced for eight years starting in the senior mini class. racing was important to me, but i also knew the risk, and knew i could be seriously injured or killed. i was not allowed to particpate in other sports and boy scouts didnt seem to be my cup of tea...
