I was at the first WEC in Italy in 86 because i had
heard about this new ride style "FEI" (The Swanton NA Championships) to where
regions and Teams competed aganist each other. So i been around FEI for a
few good years at the beginning and seen it evolve into what it has become today
in ONLY 20 years. Who would have thought then of a web-cam or all this
teckie stuff? and what will it become in another 20 years? The riders wore
blue jeans and had no helmets then. Much more Rules and pressure and
stress, i believe it will become a Sport of Kings at this Level of winning and
Endurance, Bless its Soul never was til now.
So with that said i listen aptly to the results as
they unfold w/ the same curiosity as those that pass an accident and can't help
but look and see the carnage. Its gone past me and w/out all the others
like me that its also passed us by we would not be where we are today.
Progress and change is inevitable and it does not sadden me to be passed
by. We all have a role to play in Life and its not all Guns or
Roses, sometimes its just sittin on the porch and watchin and rootin and
a'hollering...... GO USA rah rah rah
