Why is Pat Barton getting singled out of 40 other NESC experts. I think Pat and every other racer that boycotted Middleboro made a brave move. Middleboro has gottin worse every race I've been to this year. The first lap of practice could have easily gotten somebody hurt. There were only two other bikes in front of me in the third corner I couldn't see one of them the dust was so thick. I think Jason Boron said it best when he said "you can't start watering a track the night before, it takes several days for the water to work into the soil." Who ever was standing up for the track said something like "it was supposed to rain." Well thats showing how much effort they put into the track. I was one of the few experts not to pack up at 9:30 in the morning. I drove 4 hours to race spent over $100 to get there wasn't going to go home that early. Pat, Tony, Jason and Austin all told me to "your an expert now, we stick together!" Well they are all right, but those guys also make alot more money than I do, and are in the top ten. Gettin back to Pat, anybody who shits on Pat doesn't know him! Pat is 34 years old and has been in the sport forever, I'm pretty sure by now he knows what he's doing. I think Am. Suzuki and F&S Suzuki and all his other sponsors stand behind him 110%. Know what you are talking about before you start slamming him. NESC #36
