    this is what they said on the post next to my picture riding the phoenix chainsaw chopper......could they be more wrong??????

    "The "Red Rooster," a makeshift bike with a lawn mower motor, won a manned race down the track. It smoked out the crowd afterward because of burning rubber on the bike. General guidelines of the race were to "finish your machine before you arrive. Stay away from the liquor. Go faster than everyone else. Don't crash. Win money."

        heck, I should sue them for bad writing! I mean who did they get to write this piece, their 10-year-old? Actually, I bet Susan Washburn could write a better piece then they did.

        does this even make sense?
        "It smoked out the crowd afterward because of burning rubber on the bike."......huh???

        actually, it doesn't seem to me like the writer even went to the event. I mean, how can you say that you need to have your racer done before you get there and no liquor before racing if you were there, did they see Jim Mason? I think he was still working on his racer when I left....obviously they just sent the photographer and skipped it themselves.

        Too funny! Really.......that was hilarious!
