it's my b-day that weekend,![]()
I think this last weekend will be toned down quite a bit in the prank department. After the bike theft and a few other things, I don't think screwing with people's stuff is a good idea. I'm in line to lock away anything of value from now on.
It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

I am not locking my stuff up, i go up ther to relax, race with my friends and hang out, if some scumbag needs to steal my stuff, yeah it sucks...so be it. If i have to worry every minute up there,i guess i will stop going!
That's right, stuff disappearing will not be in good taste in light of the bike theft. Unless the perps are located and delivered to the paddock. It's prolly a good idea to take extra measures anyways, in light of the boldness of this theft.
After Todd's flipout last year, Version 2.0 of "The Committee" (Version 1.0 was Russ Katzenburger, a truly deranged man who was incredibly fast.) decided that it was time to retire before he ended up in jail. The two Prime Directives of The Committee, 1.) No damage shall be done to a target's property, and 2.) It shall be determined that a target will have a good sense of humor before pulling the prank on them, were not observed to the fullest extent. When canvassing the paddock for a good target last year, Todd Malvezzi was almost unanimously suggested. Those of you on the NEAR List understand why. Unfortunately, nobody told The Committee that Todd had OCD. The rest is history.
Version 3.0 was in training over the summer, doing basic stuff like shrink wrapping Jayroot's motard with 1,000 feet of Saran Wrap. They will stand down for the remander of the season.
Here's a clipping from the "old days" with Katz.

FYI, I have never been a member of "The Committee". I am merely the "Imbedded Photographer" for their missions. My biggest mistake was saying "Bullshit!" when they told me they were putting those six bikes at the top of the grandstands. I went to sleep instead. The pictures of that prank in progress would have been priceless!
