Title: Jason Braun - Early lead for Potato Head 07
Post by: Jeff on May 01, 2007, 10:30:10 AM
Jason made his bid this weekend after he needed to be stopped 100 or so feet away from his pit on his way to the grid.  "Hey dude, you have to take your rear tire warmer off before you can race"  :lmao:   :lmao:   :lmao:

It's been 7 years and this was a first...

I've seen people start a bike in gear with a warmer on and make a big ole mess, but never actually leave a pit with a warmer on.

I don't know...I thought Lonny falling down on the out lap (in the rain) put him in contention,

until I fell down on the out lap ( IN THE DRY )..... :err:

Worse than getting the lever knocked out of your hand going into turn 10?
