There's a new jump over on the back section near the downhill straight. Willy Monte Jack Bob Floyd's brother, Philly Joe Frank Nick, came up to me and said, “Say, Judy. How would I deal with the quadrinkle jump over on the back side of the track? Should I hit the first one in a cross-up, or merely do a crowd-pleasing pancake? Heck, I could even just jump it straight. I thought about what would be facing me today. Gary Jones looked on with envy as I slipped on the latest fad helmet from Bolivia, with a teak visor and dingleballs hanging from the side. I spent the spare time I had between motos carefully putting all the latest stickers on my V6000 Bland Brad Nostril Vent protector, making sure that it didn't clash with my all-white boots-bottoms included. This I couldn't believe! After all, who in their right mind would even consider straddling a bike that didn't have a Pro Circus pipe, a Wheelslip porting job and a Marx Brothers suspension? Not me, for sure. Willy Monte Jack Bob Floyd told me that there was a guy racing here who was on a totally stock bike. I was here not only to race an incredible number of grueling motos, but to do a feature story for Judycross Action Magazine, as well. Once I rode at a track that turned right at the first turn instead of left, and I took out 70 feet of snow fence and didn't stop until my Pro Circus-equipped Honda seized tighter than Jimmy Double Mac when it's his turn to pay for the shakes and fries after the races.Īnyway, my day of racing here at SaddleWhank Park was not to be an easy one. Which brings me to one of my pet peeves: tracks that are laid out differently from Saddle Whank. Like Crazy Dave said, “Wow, Judy, for someone with a broad's name, you sure ride pretty manly.” Personally I have never felt that having a girl's name has slowed me down, especially going up Whanko Hill, one of my favorite sections of Saddle Whank Park. And even for a guy in incredible shape like myself, well, that would be tough. You see, I had decided to ride 12 classes today at Saddle Whank Park. More important things were facing me right now. No, that would be too time-consuming, and besides, Gary has had enough publicity lately. Let's see now … what would be a good theme for the contest? Perhaps the boots would go to the reader who could count the number of times Imentioned my name in the same sentence as Gary Jones. They were getting pretty scruffy, so I figured it was about time to have another contest for my adoring readers. Golly, the way you were quadrupling those triple jumps, why, how could you lose?” “Did I win?” I asked Fred Finger after I collapsed into the Judychair under the Judy-awning, which was parked right next to the Judymobile. So, in the April issue, I decided to do a bit of a spoof on his column, titled “Jody's Box.” What follows is satire. Also, he rarely rode or tested anywhere but at Saddleback Park. I also never really liked his writing style, especially in his columns, where everything was I, me and my. Jody and I had plenty of run-ins at the track, as well as trying to out-scoop each other in print. With Dirt Bike the number one mag at Hi-Torque, we were in constant competition with Motocross Action, which was being run by Jody Weisel at the time. Maybe Jody still has some hard feelings about this one. I noticed MXA hasn't posted anything about his passing.
