You guys remember the one WSB rain race at Phillip Island a few years ago when he lapped the field on the Bimota?? Sure he knew the track well and it was raining but that has got to go down as one of the single greatest performances of all time.

As good as when he burst on the scene as a virtual unknown killed everybody in both WSB races also at Phillip Island as a wild-card riding a Muzzy Kawasaki.

I believe Joe was referring to motorcyclists, although the 'look at me, I'm a racer!' bit is getting old fast.

That's what I was thinking too! grin Like about 3 yrs old. LOL If you don't race ya don't know crap. If you do race, your slow and stupid and "don't know nothin!" Can't win in this Catch 22 scenario can ya. If ya listen to him long enough you'll start believin he's a 7 time AMA Superbike Champ. cool mad

^Wow, was Gobert foreshadowing in this pic or what?? He's already wearing a name-tag! LOL

Colin: Just a large coke.

AG: Will that be all? For here or to go?

I remember siting on the hill watching Ru$$ell pitch it away. It had already been announced over the PA that Scott was given a stop-n-go, and it was kinda obvious that he knew he was wrong and threw it away intentionally and almost everyone on the hill believed it.
