This Sunday race was just for fun. Still, even with little prep, everyone wants a good result—even more so if you know people are going to be watching and asking about your race. Unfortunately, the limited prep time didn’t include enough start practice. When the trademark shout “Ten Seconds!” countdown ended and the green flag waved at the High Voltage GNCC, his starting procedure went to hell and the bike gagged and stalled. Everyone else took off, and now there would be a thick wall of heavy dust to deal with. After a few first-lap crashes, real feelings sunk in. This isn’t going well.
