I am very excited to have another chance to race. I love the Little 500. |
I think this race is going to be aggressive. There are a number of teams out there that have solid riders that are going make the race fast. They aren't going to sit in the pack and have the slower (teams) stay around. From the start, this race is going to be played out to be one of the fastest races in recent years. |
That's one of the best feelings ever. To have that many people there that go to school with you cheering loud is an awesome feeling. All the hard work and sacrifice that you make throughout the year is worth it right there. For those two hours, the fans are cheering a loud as they can -- there is no better feeling than your fans cheering for you. |
There were a lot of strong riders there in the top six, but the track's a little slippery, a little softer than I thought. So I had a hard time getting up to speed there, misjudged the sprint and, you know, got second. |
These series events are great preparation for the race. It's good to see who's riding fast and who's riding strategically well. |
You don't suddenly get Jedi powers by upgrading. It's just a number. |
