In short, while he was fast, his time was punctuated by an unusually
large number of rest periods (if the article is to be believed).  Dunno
if that really means anything or not, but don't place your bets yet.

103 lbs.  Amazing.

Mort, the word was that he was doing at the most 10 laps runs then had
to come in for R&R. If that kid, at 105lbs. is ever able to go heads up
on a MGP bike for a whole race, I will be very surprised! He'd better be
"buffin' up" and workin' out" over the holidays, doncha' think?

BTW-I heard it was a drying and/or nasty track and I really doubt
any(many)one wanted to get busted up before break.....
