95spfldmax (Mike) & I went to the track last night to watch our VMax buddy, Meanmax (Zak) run....we looked around for his bike but couldn't find him so, figuring maybe he was a little late, we headed for the stands to eat our grinders.
As we were weaving thru all the cars lined up we saw Zak standing next to a red 4-door family sedan. We went over and asked him where his bike was, "I blew the clutch and am running this tonight," and pointed to the red sedan.
They were getting ready to start running so we headed up in the stands and caught Zak's first run....a blazing 17.43!
Met him after the run and talked about his bike and racing and stuff but other than saying "it's kinda embarassing" he never made any further mention of the red sedan.
So why was the 2011 Track Champ, and barring anything catastrophic, the 2012 Track Champ also, Meanmax Zak out there in this little non-descript sedan humping down the track? For the money, for the thrill, for the points??? :ummm:
Noooo, Zak was out there because he told his girlfriend's kids they could come and watch him race before school starts, (racing is on a school night) and last night was the last race night before school.
Did Zak finally tell us why he was doing this...nope, all he said was "blew my clutch!" His girlfriend told us the story. I don't think you will see too many points leaders who would do something like this.....Good on ya Zak, yer most definitely a champion!! :clapping:
