| Jeffrey Rossier #71
had a good day going 1 for 1 in the +30 amateur class. Here he is fighting off the
charge of Bob Laposnak for the +25 amateur first moto win. Jeffrey recently traded
in his YZ450F for the 250F and is now a major contender. Here are some other pics:

Erin is getting married on September 6th. And is going to race Claverack the next
day.
And I think we are all invited for a post reception get together on Saturday. Erin,
don't worry, I'll wear my best "bourgeois" riding gear.
Now for the WILDEST move of the day
that I want to share with all of you. I wish I had a movie camera as only it could
do justice to what I was witnessing in the backfield. But I did my best with an
illustration as to what was going on. Well, it was Kurt Mcmillen (#28) who was
battling with Carlo and Finkle all day in the top expert classes. But in the
backfield Kurt was TRIPLING the rockers (the ones in the distant corner) and using the 4th
rocker as a ramp that would jump him up onto the top of the table after it. A
breathtaking move that he was doing lap after lap (traffic willing). Sometimes he
cased the table when he landed on it taking a big impact and blowing dirt out
everywhere. It didn't deter him a bit on the next lap.

Alex Gillespie (202) poses
with family while sister hides from me!
There SHE IS and she has a
better camera than me (that's why you were hiding!)
Its the

"Dreamer", Gary
Tucker and his wife were down from Frozen Ocean again
Tom Bruno (our announcer
AND top expert rider) under old glory
Sal Benanti (almost 67
years old now) and riding strong in +50 class
And believe me, all of us would have "a sparkle in our eye" too if we could
still ride, let alone double jump like Sal when we are that old.
Kurt
Renzland (expert #65) and family went home with gold
ACE vendors ....
