Last lap T10 squirrel

[carsick]

Okay, who saw it? I laughed so hard I almost didn't make the checkers.

[tsorfas]

I thought it was a rat

[GingahNinjah]

noone ever said that squirrels are the brightest creatures...

[MHenry600]

It was a good size one. I was working 3/10 Sat. Surprised that no one else ran it over.

[rolker]

Saw it too! Was actually surprised by it thinking the debris flag I saw from the tree house was for the bike that happen to be off the track in 9!

Someone must have been running a camera for that race and can post a capture for us...

[OreoGaborio]

Lorna killed it.

Jesse Sandoz flattened it.

I saw it.

Not sure how I missed it.

[Trouble]

I saw it but avoided it. I was going slower than Pete...

The radio banter was classic. It was apparently a "stuffed squirrel" (as opposed to roadkill) because "this is a family event".

[tls25rs]

Oh that squirrel got stuffed alright.....................by the front tire of Lorna's bike and most likely by both of Jesse's

[Pigman]

Don't know how Lorna would take it, but we should leave a stuffed squirrel on her bike in Oct...LOLOLOL

Fluffy

[SCRLT01]

Fluffy was wrapped up, and removed peacefully from the race surface. His full name is Flat Stanley - Fluffy to those that knew him. He was making appearances in the control tower on Sunday

EDIT: he has been renamed to George "Fluffy" Loudon

[carsick]

M'lady, you made me guffaw. If only I'd had a camera for our game of chicken. I'll give him posthumous credit, I flinched first and moved wide for 10.

[tsorfas]

that doesnt look like a squirrel

[carsick]

Do they have longer hair in Greece?

[tsorfas]

Lmao that's a rat according to me.

[brady]

Lorna might have flattened it, but Crystal was the first to immobilize it - it ran straight up the racing line at her front tire, daring her to flinch. She didn't. Fortunately it was at the flip for T10 and she was not leaned over. I was feeling bad and cracking up at the same time, then hoping it would fluster her and I could make a move, but she didn't miss a beat.

So if I read that correctly, you are training squirrels to distract the competition? Clever!

[Yknot]

It was quite distracting, laying in the race line and all. I thought it was a stuffed one, afraid to really look at it instead of the big blue wall. Closer inspection on the cooldown lap confirmed, not stuffed. Poor dude, played chicken with the wrong crowd.

After all the time I spent on it, I forgot to tell the dumbass rodent to still act like a squirrel; you know, dart around and shit to distract her instead of trying to take out her front tire like it was a freakin porcupine.

[golden chicken]

"It took me 8 months to get the little chubbie one to yell 'row'."

[The Snowman]

I avoided it and it screwed up my drive out of T10 and I lost a place as another rider had more steam than I did heading into T11.

Annalisa was watching the race from T12 and she said that it started there and ran backwards up the track to where it finally got hit, then hit again, and again.

You should have heard Wanda screaming on the radio when she saw it.

I shall be working on a special t shirt for this occasion.

Noduol!

how about a roadkill flag, too?

[carsick]

how about a roadkill flag, too?

I thought the red stripes accurately indicated squirrel juice. But I wouldn't turn down a varmint flag. Is it waving for moving and standing for eh... neutralized?

[Pigman]

Waving at first then standing yellow for his lack of movement.....
