Okay all y'all Fakebookers have said most of it all already. Just a day of chasing gremlins (or chunkin' tahrs if y'all are Al Lamm) . Rocky spent the first run shooting ducks for a mile before he shut down. Then went 328 or so on a get acquainted pass for 12-13 miles later in the day. He reports that the ONLY bump on the course was nothing like the underground river at B'ville. A little bump and then onward. Had a leetle trouble stopping, though. Not being a champion level trials rider he could not balance his bike without the training wheels down. So, with a special shout out to Marconi and Motorola, he was able to alert the crew to his dilemma who "caught" him as he stopped thereby keeping the killer paint job intact.
The Aprilla boys got their wish(es) and each made a 200+ pass (on the "jug" - but still 2+).
Ralph Hudson finally found his gremlin (did you now crank trigger sensors had polarity?), and put down some pretty healthy numbers. It being Bolivia and all, and out of range for all but the most dedicated ambulance chasers, I have recommended that they stage an epic, first ever, Hudson/Lamm drag race to find out who really owns this record.
And I am working on an El Cheapo way to come down here and race. Yeah it's still more than B'Ville, but to finally race the best salt on Planet Earth? (Did you know American Airlines credit cards is offering 75,000 mile sign up bonus for spending, I think $5k in the first three months? I think you can fly down here and home for about 70,000 miles if you are flexible on your dates.)
Okay that's it for now. One final Rocky pic for all y'all and I am flying out early AM manana. I.e., this will be the final insertion.
See you all at B'ville next week!
