    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    Was reminded today that I still have this album sitting on my Facebook from some day at Summit we were hanging out. I don't even remember what year at this point. 2011 says the uploads I guess. I dunno who's in there, maybe you're in there, RubberChicken RIP... enjoy...

    I thought so? Shit man, now you guys got me questioning myself. I thought I remembered people on here saying he got ill a few years ago and it didn't pan out well. If that's mistaken than that's some bright news. Met the guy a few times, he was super nice to talk to. Now I dunno shit...

    His last activity says 2019. You still out there man?

    i remember meeting you either that day or another around that time as well... i think you had like a 1098 with no tail section and some sick exhaust or something and the other one with the fighter pilot shark mouth graphics? vodka sponsor or something haha? i dunno man i just remember those ducatis, and some race were like a shifter broke or some shit at one of the last rounds of the year, but they all blend together now. this whole thing came up because somebody was talking about how their track day didn't have good photography and i remembered i had these pictures.

    I believe #76 is Bemisderfer and #1 is Sam Gaige. Gaige was crazy fast on an R6 for that time period, pretty sure he was in the 14’s and possibly dipped into the 13’s.

    76 is Jeff Atwell. Way too small to be Tim :D

    Here, present and decidedly not dead.

    Somewhat the worse for wear, though.

    Retired from racing at end of 2014 season, crashed hard at Jennings in March 2015, got Last Rites before they loaded me into the chopper to GA.

    Still kicking, not doing track stuff at age 65. My throttle hand didn’t understand that my ability to process speed data had failed.

    Thanks for asking.

    The rumors of your demise have obviously been greatly exaggerated. :)

    Yes I remember meeting you.
    I had a 1098 and an 848. I was lucky enough to be a test dummy for the DoubleDog Moto stuff Mark (the owner) was developing. I had that monocoque carbon fiber tail section and the full titanium underslung exhausting the bikes.
    Clique vodka was giving me money to race. (Man those were the days!)
    And yep last race of the year all I had to do was beat Shaky Dave Podolsky (Chicken Hawk TIRE warmer owner ) and I won 2 additional championships.
    The dry clutch on my 1098 literally exploded and ate itself. Actually cut into my engine case and blew debris everywhere inside the motor. Top it off it was so hot bike caught fire. Dave had conceded that I was going to win and I had 15 second lead on last lap when everything came apart.
    I remember Dave seeing me off to the side with a fire extinguisher on my bike just off track between t2 and t3 and seeing his throttle hand go WFO knowing that he was gonna beat me :crackup:
    Days like that make you hate this sport ... till the next season or race lol.

    Ride safe,
    AAron
