So Dean raced the Pro class and also got some extra seat time racing with the over 50 Int., 50 Experts and 50 Elites today. I raced the 50 Int. on the second gate and Dean was lined up with the 50 Elites and Experts on the first gate.
First off I gotta say it was pretty humbling to get lapped twice in one race!..haha
But the point of my post was in the second moto Dean came to the line pretty late and grabbed the far outside spot a few over from me. The cement start in front of him was full of dirt and he got the attention of some kid with a broom (probably around 10 years old) to sweep his spot for him, the kid kinda froze and looked starstruck! When the kid came over to sweep it Dean told him "if you do a good job, I'll give you some goggles after the race".
After the race I told someone what happened and they replied "oh, that explains the kid I just saw holding some goggles that looked like he just had the best day of his life".
Thought that was a really cool thing for Dean Wilson to do!!...

I'll say that all of the pro's and industry guys that i've had the privilege of meeting at the track have all been super chill and cool people, and it just makes you respect them that much more.
