Kevin Burkhead was doing a bit of showing off during the practice session, not that he was egged on or anything by any of the photographers. Or at least not that we are willing to admit.
More Giggles - Jeremy Raney, Mr. Giggles, would make the trip solo this Sunday without young daughter Rowan whom competed in the first round at Industry Nine. In all honesty, I think that the solo drive is intentional as Jeremy is actually concerned he'll wake up sooner than later with his young daughter posting a lap time quicker than his.
When Becky Bashton isn't volunteering her time to help the events run smooth as butter, she's putting in some lap times and race runs herself. Event after event he's getting more and more pinned, obvious by the pic, head down and elbows out.
The Great FCL (aka Cecil Linder) is three for three, at least in attendance. He also was solo this round having to leave the kids home, the next gen of Linder's will have to wait until Round 4 to get there second taste of competition.
Wait, What? Typically we see Will Washam behind the mic and not behind the bars. Will was able to get in a couple of laps during play time and also served as the "crash test dummy" for promoter Ryan Taylor to explain the race setup to the little rippers before they put their laps down. I am still trying to figure out which Will does better, ride or MC?
The Sighting - Too bad we don't catch a glimpse of Sasquatch as much as we catch Mr. Giggles living up to his nickname. If only I had a nickel for every time. Jeremy (right) shares a laugh with Trey "Fireball" Cooke (left).
Mr. Perfect Push Up - It almost looks like Chris Skolnick is trying to carryover that "Perfect Push Up" over to his riding style. Sorry, inside joke. Just like Will Washam, Chris usually is busy with other event responsibilities, like timing and scoring. Good to see Chris get some lap times in, perfect push up style or not
