Not my favorite track to watch a good race, you can't see much there.
Lima OH was probably one of my favorite tracks to visit, you could see the whole thing and they were really mixing things up!

My close friend sponsors #80, Stevie Bonsey on a pair of XR-750s.  Stevie started the National in 8th position, was up to 3d after one lap.  Whooeee!!
Entering 1st turn of second lap, Brad Baker got under him and Brad's rear wheel moved out a tad and clipped Stevie's Left handlebar end.  Down went Stevie. Out of race, uninjured.  Totally unavoidable, totally unintentional.  Stevie had just gotten 3d at Sacramento last week, with a totally bald Left side to his rear tire.  We all had such high hopes today.  Racing has its cruel moments.

Oops.  spoke too soon. Stevie's team owner just e-mailed:  Stevie has a broken C-1.  Uncertain whether surgery will be required.  Stevie had set fastest lap in heat race, too.  Bummer.
