Not to worry. That torpedo's sold.  ::)  I'm sticking with my regular ride.

Now, back on topic! There's gotta be a more worthy incident of such a prestigious award.

Post more boneheaded moves!  Rat out your buddies!  ;)

Ok. Here goes. It was at Road America. When I looked at the grid sheet, I noticed I was in the pole position of the LWF40 race.   So I write LWF40-inside-Row 1 on a piece of tape and put it on my gas tank. Go out do the warm up lap, come up to the starting line, rolling up through all the amateurs, through some experts, on my way to the front...... How come I'm passing guys on 600's and 750's? I stop in the middle of everyone and start looking around confused. The grid marshall comes over and shows me the grid sheet. LWF40-inside-Row 11. It was a 2 wave start. :-[ :-[ I just had enough time to back up to my spot. Got a good start then forgot to shift. Man, those SV's really slow down when they hit the rev limiter. It's funny how everything can fall apart so fast. ;D

Can I nominate Sebastian Porto?  I guess he thought everybody was just a really slow backmarker on that last lap, huh?  It looked like even after he realized he did an extra lap, he was still haulin' as*... too embarassed to slow down ;D  I won't elaborate in case someone hasn't seen it yet.

Ok guys so far so good but as some of you know I have this award and after what I did to get it you will have to come up with something really good. I haven't had much of a chance to get to the races but I have had a spy at most of them. I did get to see Rick Brewer go out for a mock race only to crash in turn 1 and say his back brakes locked up as this is why he crashed, as I can remember Rick telling me you don't need to use your back brakes, and this was on the warm up lap.
