I just saw Jessie on TWT. They covered the WERA GNF. Our boy is on his way.
You know, I beat him once... ;D
That will eventually be my great claim to fame.
Go Jess! You're my hero!
Yeah, that was very cool! Way to go!

Me too. In 02 when he was just introduced, and on poor machinery, he didn't stand a chance.
Sigh... Now the only hope I have is that he moves to AMA. :D
To be totally honest, there was that tinge of jealousy and resentment which has absolutely no merit or basis, but it faded fast the more I talked to him and his folks.
All I can do now is say "GO JESSE!" 8)
I've got the clip, if anyone's interested :D
I'm interested ... I couldn't be home to see it last nite.

Whoa! :o I didn't know the Hon. Mr. Jesse Jackson himself was a roadracer!! Where the heck have I been??? ::) ;D
Jessie, if you log on sometime and read this, you done good :)
Both in the race and your on camera comments afterward.
Congrats!

Honorable? ::)
;D
Dang, I missed it. (Went to bed :-/)
Kim, I would be interested in the clip.
Dawn :)
Jesse has been on here a couple of times (J Janisch). In fact he had his SV listed for sale a while back...

If this is the same bike he won on I wonder if it's still for sale or if the value went up a tiny bit with his big win!!!!!
Anyway.... great job on and off the track Jesse! (Mom and Dad too!) Hope you've had some interesting phone calls and conversations over the last couple of weeks that help things come together for future seasons!
And K3....that time you beat him.... was that the time he had to ride his pit bike? ;D
You could volunteer to let him move in with you. Might be easier to make the AMA calendar next year if he was closer to O'Hare than Hartford,WI so that he could fly around the country! ;D ;D

No, but at that point in his roadracing career, he was still wearing a steel shoe and making 3 lefts every time the track turned right...
I'd let Jesse move in with me, but then I'd be bragging to everyone that he was
MY son!
