8th then DQ'd
The race is over. I was wrong, no breaks lapped the field. Mass field sprint. I finished 8th, but went over to the officials and told them I took an illegal “free lap” not in the pit. It was a stupid, rash decision. I haven’t been disqualified from a race since i was a junior. (Yellow line rule- Tom Boyden. ) I’ll post more later. Driving North now.

Tom Boyden? We all took one from him one time or another. God bless TX.

One does not have anything without integrity. Thanks for displaying it.

You weren’t 8th, you were a lap down. The fact that you ratted yourself out is admirable, but even more admirable would’ve been to drop out at the bell so you wouldn’t potentially screw up someone else’s sprint.

Fred-You’re exactly right. Indefensible position.

Speaking in regards to Integrity. Don’t they still need to give you that Natl championship jersey from 2006???

Tom Boydon…there is a name from the past. I think he became District Rep. if I am not mistaken. I never had an issue with him and he was the one (again if I am not mistaken) who upgraded me to Cat. 2 when I was a junior. Honesty is the best policy, Steve. You wouldn’t have felt right about the result if you hadn’t turned yourself in.

Neat post Steve! I used to drive the Badger bus around those streets! Enjoy you time in the Northwoods. I miss Wisconsin when I see your pics.
