    I stalled KB's motard in the bowl trying to do a rolling burnout after the supermoto race. It was a pain to get it started too.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Went out for practice even though Id been having brake issues and only "thought" I had them solved. Ended up lying in the middle of the track out of the bowl.

    1) ran out of gas in my first race ever.

    2) the paper towel story. DNF knows what I'm talking about. Wasn't on the track, but a funny and stupid thing anyways

    Motocross seperate occasions:
    - forgot to take the choke off
    - forgot to turn the gas on
    - forgot to put the bolts in that hold the seat on

    Dumbest thing you've ever done on the track

    1. Stalled on the start

    2. I got pushed into the grass in 11a and stood it up to save it, then realized there was a big ditch between the grass and the nascar oval. So i grabbed the front brake to slow down and as you can guess that ended badly. As if that wasn't bad enough i pick up the bike to finish the race and screw out of nascar turn 4 down the straight only to learn as i grabbed the brakes at the 2 board that my throttle was stuck wide open. More effin grass and I ended up in nascar 2 waiting for the race to end.

    Dumbest thing you've ever done on the track

    Clipped a cone on pitout and crashed in T-1A

    Transponder on the fork leg spun inwards and locked my front wheel direction and I fell over on pit in on the hot pit

    Worse part about both of the above are they happened in the same weekend.

    Dumbest thing you've ever done on the track

    I left the gas off in practice once, but figured it out quickly

    Crashed in a wet NV 125GP race when i was the only one in the wave, but got up and finished.. I crashed and finished, got first and last place.

    Clipped the last cone on pit out, but didn't quite knock it over

    Had a home-made boot slider come loose in T3, and almost took out Squizz.

    Crashed in 1A, and tried to stand up while I was still sliding on the ground at a pretty good clip.

    I had sex on the track.................. oh wait that wasn't dumb!!!!

    During one of the AMA nationals it had rained briefly, someone had the bright idea to allow a bunch of us out on the track with our trucks to help dry it out. Needless to say, everthing we did was dumb. I came out of the bowl totally sideways and almost spun the truck around, I was then told to get of the track by security. Pfft.......what do they know.

    I was in the grandstands watching that 'drying session' and cracking up.

    Did you win? Or was it like the rookie race where you've got a whole group of rookies lined up behind you, you always start before everyone else & can never finish, but pretty much everyone else does

    Dumbest thing you've ever done on the track

    I crashed while in first place... in the WRONG Race! In the old days, we'd pre-grid on the track. I came out a bit early for my race, saw similar sized bikes gridding up and saw my grid spot open, so I assumed I was late, not early for my race. Ooops.
