    I have what was left of the front wheel from that crash--a hub, two bent discs and broken spokes about six inches long. Some spectator junped the fence and took the $5000 dash and some bodywork!

    I was going to ask if that's when they stole your stuff!
    I still can't believe that

    Just WOW!! At the track, I tend to think of us all as family, that just stinks.
     
  4. Agreed. That is bullshit.

    Especially when you consider that person likely has absolutely no idea what that dash does and has no use for it. I hate a damn thief. I wish I could have been standing beside them when they went to steal that stuff...

  8. "Jelly Belly", that is funny to me. :D

    It makes me want to go after them for sponsorship just so I can say "Jelly Belly" all the time. :crackup:

    Are the Rhoades racing guys still for sure? looks like their funding campaign didn't go so well.

    I believe the fund raiser was to get Jason Farrell onto a ride for the season as well as the two younger riders, so I would think that Jody and Mark will still be racing with Farrell just doing wrenching instead of riding.
     
  20. I know nothing about the two younger guys, but personally I wish it was the other way around. I would love to see what Farrell could do on a competitive bike/team with good backing. It wasn't that long ago that he finished 4th in an AMA SBK race at Road America (IIRC) in a 1-off race as a Privateer. He has a few lap records on his resume. I bet given the opportunity to race a full season, and ONLY focus on nothing but racing, on a good team/bike, he could do some good.
