    You should have been there in person. The mojo from the crowd when he opened that beast up was amazing... and the smell of the burnt castor oil brought back quite a few memories.

    I have the highest regard for those that do 2-wheel battle on the mile dirt tracks... they are true warriors.

    What I think was cool that he went for it and did it at speed going sideways.

    Referring to....??? The Fairgrounds crowd has been near sell-out for the Mile events the past 3 years... best guess would be close to 4500 to 5000.
