Only one thing about the article you may or may not know about. As a former dirt biker, Motocrossers are known as "riders" not "drivers". Bikers get kinda pissy when it is said that a motorcycle is driven and not riden.

I thought I would help you with that tad bit of minutae(sp?) for any of your future articles.

Good job. We could use alot more writers like you in these parts. You could easily replace Holly Cain (motorsports writer of the Seattle PI) tomorrow with that kind of work.

*racks brains*

Did I call motocross riders drivers? Seriously? Well, if that's your only nitpick, sweet. It was a brain freeze, I must say, on my part. I will remember that for future articles. I'm not terribly familiar with motocross. Yet, though. Heh.

Thank you for the praise. I will start sending clips to the PI in an effort to get Holly Cain's job. LOL
I've been writing under the radar here for 3 1/2 years now, but with the Covington/Maple Valley Reporter, I'm just starting to get noticed.

The housing prices have gone nuts. My house in Maple Valley has gone up $100k in value in just about two years. I'm hoping that if we stay in it two more years, we'll get $450k for it and then go buy a house outright. Heh. Or put a nice down payment on one, pay off my student loans, take a nice vacation and then I could get the silver Corvette I've always wanted.

Thankfully, the heat has disappated. In fact, it's a shame the race isn't this weekend. Today it's cloudy and considerably cooler. There could have been some great qualifying runs made this afternoon up here. Ah, well.
