Did anyone get a picture of Chris's "#36" off track excursion between turn 5 and the front straight?
I'd love to frame that one.
Patrick Stohrer - what kind of idiot will purposely lay down a bike after missing turn 5??
Almost every rider that I've ever seen run off of the track in that area got banged up pretty bad. Also the rider comming off of turn 8 was slowing down because Fred Chapman had the presence of mind to jump out there and warn him. Chris also saw the rider comming off of turn 8 and was not going to hit him. Where did you get the 18" from?
Speaking of good riding, I've never seen a young rider like Zack Chapman progress that fast. Last year he wasn't even in the hunt in the SV novice classes, now he's running off with rookie of the year and running in the top 3 or therabouts in total points. Unless I missed someone's lap times, both Zack and Chris got their production legal SV's into the 1.27's this past Sunday. Thats 3 seconds faster than Chris has ever gone there. I'm pretty sure that 3 seconds can be attributed to Marcus McBain's directions from the week before last. Sometimes the young guys can learn from the old timers!! Thanks Marcus
