Greetings,
'Some Things' that occurred at Wauseon AMCA 2019:
1. Lowest 3-day turn-out i've ever seen.
2. Counterfeit Currency exchanged. Three vendors that i heard of. *Personally, I always test with a Black light.
3. On Wednesday, 7-17. The North parking lot gate lock was cut, and many piled in to set-up.
4. On Saturday, 7-20. The AMCA Fairground event announcer reported that there was a severe storm that was going to hit Wauseon around 7am -9am on Sunday. This was repeated for an hour between 2-3pm Saturday afternoon. By 6pm, 70% of the Vendors hauled out, & Wauseon was a ghost town--all from an imaginary storm prediction. Ironically, Sunday was the nicest day of all 4 days.
5. The Wednesday Walmart Super-Store pre-swap and camp—A Total b.S. Blowout!
6. Rain at 2:30 pm on Thursday. Great for the 1/2 mile, short blast, but powerful, otherwise, a really nice day. Friday-Zero Rain. Saturday-10 minute sprinkle around 8pm. Sunday-Perfect.
7. J&A Taco Wagon back in business after a one year absent(2018), due to a death in the family.*(R.i.P).
8. Great day at the Roeder Racing 1/2 Mile event, with all classes getting one Practice, one Heat, and a Main. One Heat(All Classes), was skipped due to the 98 degree—115 Heat index. Springer & Morehead kicked Butt, with the 'Findlay Flyer' taking all the marbles. All in all, a safe day at the track, except for Michael Lange receiving a slight Concussion in the Tank Shift class.
9. As far as complaining about the 98 degree HeAT & 115 Heat Index~~ While wearing your Bermuda shorts and t-shirt, and sipping on a cold one! Try wearing Full Leathers-Helmet-boots & gloves, goggles, and a neck brace and back protector for 8 and a 1/2 hours. Plus wrenching on the Race M/C's to keep em' moving, like 'ALL the Classes' did to put on an Excellent show for the spectators, and give them their moneys worth!!! Grandstand attendance was decent, i think around 2K. THANK YOU!!!
10. I surely hope the AMCA Brass looks into the people that cut that Lock to 'illegally enter' and set-up on Wednesday! Oh wait, maybe they were just some 'Illegal Immigrant Mexicans'.
11. And now for the Piece De Resistance: George 'Geo' Roeder III sold this 1937 Knuck a month or so ago. 2 weeks before Wauseon, the new owner posted that it would be at the National Meet in Wauseon. He paid 57K for the M/C. It was stripped and being sold in pieces. Gee, i wonder if anyone bought that $700 dollar kickstand?
