It looks like the AMA Free Subway sandwich giveaway fell short. Although, we did get to enjoy the overanxious corner worker sprint across the track like a boy trying to save his dog. It was on turn one of the first lap when a rider went down and this guy timed his crosstrack dash to just mist the last place rider. It was no less than heroic.
Unfortunately he must have been all tuckered out and sitting at the wrong corner when Josh Herrin went straight across the grass and into the tire barrier. We got to sit at home and watch him pound on the bike while it burned his leg for the usual agonizingly painful eternity before anyone got there. Mercifully for us viewers they cut to commercial.
VIR claims to be world class on their logo. They should change it to "World Class My Ass". The backside of the track looks like it was laid out by a kid with a crayon. Are those turns or did the asphalt guy have one too many? The runoff areas are vast. Unfortunately they are also grass covered. Ever try to ride one out at 100mph on grass only to find a comfy and cozy tire barrier waiting to snap your spine in two. Bikes don't stop or turn so well while on slicks. Trust me!
