    Got to watch the board trackers race on the flat track at Davenport a few times at the AMCA meets. Very cool stuff indeed.

    Would love to be able to see this event as well.

    Can’t make the event, but still would love to get a shirt with the design on the back like I’ve seen Billy wearing. Haven’t seen them available anywhere. It would help support the event in some small way……

    It sounded fun when I first heard of it, and it still sounds fun, so I think I will go check this out.

    How does Billy bounce back after getting drunk and killing a fellow biker…I don’t get it

    Hey Gym, How about a little forgiveness brother. We can’t take back the mistakes we make in life, and I know I’ve made my share, but we can move forward, and try to make the world a better place. Billy is just trying to get on with his life, and your ‘holier than thou” comment, I have to think, is offensive to most of us in this forum. If you don’t get it, you should try a little introspection, and I know if you look deep enough you’ll find we’re all just human, we make mistakes, we wish things could have been different, but the best thing is to change your life, do positive work, and be a better example. Billy is doing just that, and I’m sure you agree we all deserve a second chance. This will be a great event, and I’m proud to be a supporter!

    Check, Check….???

    OK, so the interface works….
    So why won’t it take this thread:

    Pat,
    Spot on about “moving forward”… there is no going back. It is what it is, let’s just getting on with it…

    However, :trying “.. . to make the world a better place…” has gotten WAY out of hand.

    Le-me suggest we’d all be better off if each and everyone of us tried to live our individual lives in such a was as to not make a mess that others either trip over or have to clean up. Beyond that its up to each one to make their own way.

    Its too bad politicians aren’t required to take the Hippocratic Oath…”First do no harm”…
    Just a thought.
