Ok folks!

Favorite race moment of all time, can be yors, a buddies or one you saw on the little screen.

Mine? Roger's win in the rain at BFR. He was an AM and he beat the winning Ex by almost an enitre straight! Now there's some rain ridin'! :D

Mamola in Austrailia riding after dislocating his wrist is good...

The 250 race from Turkey this year is among the best...

My personal favorite could be the FX finale from last year, DuHamel vs. Zemke.  There was a lot of talent displayed and what made it so freaky was how the laps led points made it so the entire season literally came down to the last lap... too bad Jake crashed it would have been a great finish.

Oh, +1!  That was the best, cleanest, most honorable bike race of all time!

For a personal moment, it would have to be my first win.  I got the holeshot, and didn't know my main rival had crashed out just a few turns into the first lap.  Leading, I was too afraid to look back, and absolutely sure I could hear his SV right behind me in every corner!  My poor teammate had seen what was going on, so he abandoned his own bike preparation and sprinted to the pit wall, screaming and waving frantically for me to slow down before I binned it and threw away an easy win.  I never saw him!  I rode that whole race (unnecessarily) at 110%, finishing second overall behind Ed Key, and lapping almost the entire amateur field in the process.  Hair on fire and imaginary demons nipping at my ass, I actually grazed a haybale as I slid up to the wall on my final lap, and got straw stuck in the muffler clamp!
When I took the checker, there was this overwhelming sense of relief.  Then I looked over my shoulder.  All I saw was empty track.  I just couldn't believe it!  About then, a lifetime of trying and dreaming caught up with me, and my head and heart nearly exploded.  I'd finally WON!  To this day, I can remember the face of every cornerworker I waved to on that cooldown lap.
Coming down pit lane, I saw good old Burt Munroe the race director standing there grinning and clapping.  How many times before had this good man taken the time to slap me on the back and say, "Don't worry K3, you'll get 'em next time!"  At the last possible moment, I ripped a huge wheelie directly at him, finishing it with a stoppie.  I was looking STRAIGHT into his eyes when I did this, and the guy JUST LAUGHED, PUT HIS HANDS OVER HIS EYES, AND SHOOK HIS HEAD!
Somehow, word had gotten around that I was about to win my first race.  Every friend I'd ever made in racing was waiting at pit-in when I got there, and the crowd just mobbed me.  Honestly, that was THE moment I'd lived my entire life to experience.  It just couldn't have been more perfect.

You know K3, you should write a book or sumthin!!!

For me, it would have to be beating Ed Key (in the dry) for the first and second time last season.

We all know Ed doesn't push too hard in the wet, but beating him on a dry track, when he's chasing you to the end, was damn cool. Both times I couldn't help but thinking that he was just stalking me and would somehow push past on the last lap. He's so consistent and so hard to beat I almost couldn't believe it when I took the checkered flag. After years of trying, it was an amazing feeling of accomplishment. Thanks Ed, for setting the benchmark so high. You make us all better for chasing you.

My other highlight was standing on the podium of the Team Challenge race at Daytona in October 2003. My teammate Dave Swarts and I had finished 3rd in GT Lights and wrapped up the F-USA National Championship in style. I'll carry the memory of holding up a #1 plate in Daytona's Victory Lane to the end of my days. I hope.

Beating Key after getting Meatballed and I think he jumped the start worse than I did. Ed led into 1 at Blackhawk and I passed him thru 5. Only to cross start/finish with my number being displayed with a meatball. I put my head down and stayed in front until coming down pit lane. I don't remember for sure but I think it was Captain Hook holding the board when I was coming into hot pit with both wheels locked. Entering turn one again I was fourth. With three laps to go I caught Ed again in 5 and went AROUND the outside for the pass only for him to come back buy into 7. Again I caught him in 5 and AGAIN went around the outside with him leaving me less room, and again he out braked me into seven. On the last lap I caught Ed again into 5, he moved wide and even looked over his outside shoulder to see if I was there. But I was now going up the inside and on a mission. I then ran into turn 7 the best I ever have and held Ed off for the WIN.

Mine:  Getting interviewed in winner's circle at Daytona, after getting third in a Team Challenge...  interviewed by Dave Despain, on SpeedTV, on the BOX!!!!

When I stepped down from the podium, the officials grabbed the 3rd place trophy from me, and told me we were actually 4th, but they didn't want to interrupt the live interview. 

When I'm 80, I'll never admit that we were 4th, since I have a photo of me on the podium.

agreed.

that surpassed my previous favorite:
nicky hayden and kurtis roberts last laps battle at brainerd and side by side to the line.

The day Gordy Jr. called me from Road Atlanta and told me his team (riding for Vesrah Enduranceat the time) had won their first WERA  Endurance national championship.

Has to be 2002 Imola, Edwards and Bayliss.
