In the Dec/Jan/Feb issue of Road Racer X.
He was asked: "What was the toughest track you raced at in the United States?"
Nicky Said: "Every track has it's hard sections, but as far as just being an all-around nasty, filthy, dirty, tough little track, I'd say Loudon. I only went there a couple times, but that was enough. I don't want to completely bag on the place--- it had a lot of history, a great crowd and one corner that was alot of fun--- but I can't say much good about it other than that. Every nasty element you could put in a track, it had. It was bumpy, physical, dangerous, nothing really flowed together, and it had all the bad parts of some tracks that are built at ovals--- transitions on and off the banking, different pavement all over--- the list goes on. I did okay there--- two wins, in 600 Supersport and Formula Xtreme--- but I don't miss that place when I am somewhere like Phillip Island."
Discuss.

How long ago was he at the track?
Wasn't that taken from an article written like 3 years ago?
EDIT: I re-read the entry that was posted and it's not the same article however I could have sworn there was something from years back where Hayden commented on the toughest track he's ridden.

Ben Spies? Thought we were talkin about Nicky Hayden. July 30th, 1981. So he graduated HS sometime around 00 or 01

Here he is when he was still racing a Suzuki for Carry Andrew in 1998. That's Mike Curry, Tech Inspector Micky Curry's kid, with him.

I kinda like those comments. Makes being successful (whatever your personal definition of that is) at Loudon more impressive...
that's hot
