Really I was just thinking about you and my powder coating needs. Dirt Wheels just gave me the OK to get all these projects ready so they can come back here to Maine for the speed record deal Aug. 1st.
Here is where we are going to do it.

That should be pretty dang cool. Keep me in the loop on it as it approaches and if I am free I may run up and take some shots.
I appreciate everyone’s point of view. There is zero doubt our class is competitive, and if you aren't pushing for 2 hours you wont be able to run towards the front. Quite honestly at the beginning of the 2009 season it was overwhelming for me in the first few races how aggressive the riding was in the U2 class vs the 4x4 lites class I had ridden in prior. I don't mean dangerous or mean spirited just aggressive.
I am sure there are times over the years that I could have waited a second or two longer for a lapper to slide over, but I do feel like I do my best to give people plenty of warning. However, I don't feel like I HAVE EVER put someone in danger. I take exception to being called a "dirty rider", that’s a harsh statement, but everyone is definitely entitled to their opinion.
To address this past weekends "incident" with Mike Benson, I would like to start by saying I have a huge amount of respect for Mike. He is an unbelievably talented rider and is clearly one of the fasted guys in the A.M. race as his record shows. There really isn't much of a story as far as the track side of things go. It was simple we had a couple miles to the finish and were riding hard. We passed each other back and fourth 2 times I believe within a mile mostly because of lappers. Somewhere around the mile to go marker there were some guys stuck in a ditch. Because of this several lines had developed throughout the race. I was on the inside line and Mike was on the outside. I knew Mike was coming hard but I felt like I had a nose on him so I never lifted. I understand through reading other posts mike felt like I broadsided him but I can say with a 100% clear conscious I never at anytime saw his quad to Broadside him, and we weren’t in a turn as some have said. The track was simply a reverse "Y" as the two different lines came together. All we did was slam front wheels together and whether it was the weight of my quad or my momentum my quad held its line and never budged. As a matter of fact I never let of the gas, but make no mistake in my account we did hit hard, but I believe it was do to both of our riding styles neither wanted to back down. I had no idea that Mike even wrecked I just thought he lost his line and got pushed off the track and had to find a different line. Like I said we were extremely close to the end of the race. In all incidents there are two sides to the story and by no means am I saying mine is more correct than Mikes. Everyone interprets things and situations through their own eyes. This is simply my account. I do want to make 100 PERCENT CLEAR, that at no time during those last few miles in GA I had any intentions of anything going wrong for either of us. I was having a blast and was loving the competitive nature of our riding.
I wish Mike and all of you the best in 2010 and hope that we can all use this as a learning experience to become better racers and men. If any of you have further comment or would like to speak to me directly you can reach me at Jerime@duddingracing.com or my cell number is 304-237-8574
