As to motorcycle racing, there was the times that I out ran Nicky Hayden and Colin Edwards, and later stayed up (as in racing, not drinking) with some yahoo named Ben Spies (but only cause Mr. Ben was not trying too hard)...........
But to be honest, they were all snot nosed kids who at the time, had yet to really develope their talents....and I really do not remember them per se, except for Colin, because of the three, as a kid, he was a real rocket.
then when I was much younger, there was Kevin Schwantz (who after he became well known, I figured out that we had been sharing same track space-whether in front or back-I do not remember)
So basically when it came to bikes, I had my finest hour(s) and at the times, did not know it until a few years later...
It was all at a place called Oak Hill, where a number of world champions and national champions learned to seriously road race their bikesOnly the dead know the end of war. Plato:beer:

I would have to say the home run I hit for the game winning rbi in the San Diego Section CIF High School Championship game at Smith Field (now Tony Gwynn Stadium) in 1972 narrowly exceeds my accomplishment of San Diego table tennis city champion for ages 11-14!
Of course both of these pale in comparison of witnessing the natural childbirth of my daughter, which was simultaneously the most wonderful, and horrifying experience of my life!
And I've been through some SH!TMay the forza be with you

Running and co-ordinating for 5 straight years my timing and scoring volunteers at the Molson Indy race in Toronto, and getting compliments from the full time staff of CART for the professional manner we operated and were able to supplement what they needed and run our own support events.
It seems not all volunteers are at the same level, but I will say I had good people and our group from Mosport were always given good guidance and support from any of the professional groups we liased with over the years. I just happened to be the dumb guy who got volunteered to be in charge for 5 straight years."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".
The Plains was in mid-April 35 years ago, though. I was servicing on the event on the day of the Hillsborough disaster. It isn't uncommon for events to change dates. When it's done at the behest...
