Say goodbye to the Billy Mitchell Bridge at Road America.

Apparently I'm still smart! 
Damn I haven't crashed enought yet!

Well I might not go that far...  "not retarded" and "smart" are two very different things. lol

Alan,
   You should put the aftermath of the fire extinguisher on J's bike from the Billy Mitchell.  J, wasn't that number 53 for you.  So all know, he did try to pick his flaming bike up to finish qualifying.  We all were screaming at him as he did not know it was on fire, but he figured it out when the rockin corner workers were running toward him with fire extinguishers.

i loved going under that bridge.  Immediately before, there was always the late-braking battle flying into the bumpy and treacherous Canada Corner, at the end of the THIRD high -speed section of that crazy track.  Getting under that bridge so close on your left side was the reward for not getting spit off your bike as you exited Canada hard on the gas up the hill. I'm not saying the change won't be safer.  It's just that nothing charges memory like emotion. And my images of being leaned over hard on the gas at the apex under the Billy Mitchel bridge is beautifully and inexorably burned into my memory.  Goodbye Billy, I'll miss you in July!
