What are your favorite memories of 2003?

[lil_thorny]

yep the whole year was awesome for me...the learning, the crashing and being ok....the lap times dropping...the scaryness of it all. Here are a few of my most memorable moments:
1: The elbow to elbow pass that Ned Brown made in NASCAR turn 2 during the GTU race @ ROC. at 160 MPH.... scary.....
2: Winning the National Amateur championships.
3: Passing Kim on the outside of turn 5 @ BHF and bumping her foot with my elbow....afterwords I caught up with her in the pits and apologized for getting so close and she said, "that wasn't close....
that was a good pass, don't worry about it"....how cool is that?
4: Definately the 2nd weekend at BHF when Ike and
I battled all weekend...that GTU race was the most fun...I think that we exchanged the lead 6 times a lap....Griff was going crazy on the microphone!
5: My crazy highside in 6b @ BHF when they all thought that I was dead, and Brian Baker told the tower that I was just taking a nap. About 15 people ran to the med shed to see if I was alright.  They let Super Dave in and he asked me how I was doing and he said, it's not like racing cars, you can't just take breaks out there. Welcome to motorcycle roadracing!
6: And the best was not being able to catch Stumpy
after he and brenden passed me during MWSS last BHF... way to go guys...
it was a great time...oh yeah one more thing.....
7: Gurd the Turd getting in the way and the song about him that followed.

Doubling my year's goal in the first weekend with 2 expert woods.

Replacing the tranny of my F4 motor overnight in the back of my trailer at Road A, just to blow it up the next day, flat out on the front straight.

5 races, 5 woods at Gingerman on the new bike

1st race win, ever...

Lots of memories there!  I love this sport.  It's all about the people.

Anyhow, I pulled the F4 apart somewhat. Now let's play jeopardy...

"I'd like 'shit gone horribly wrong' for $1000 please Alex"

The answer is "the number two rod"

"What is..... The cause of that BIG F'ING HOLE in the rear of the case?"

"You are correct!"
