WRH NOLA: Andrew Short Posted: 03/19/09 The most remarkable feature on the track (which was originally included in Mike LaRocco’s Indianapolis design) was a 180 sand turn just before the longer whoop section on the track. 652 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Matt Lemoine Posted: 03/19/09 Lemoine was typical, in that he was obviously one of the fastest riders on the track at any given moment, but crashes always seemed to interrupt his momentum. 516 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Chris Pourcel Posted: 03/19/09 So why didn’t (or couldn’t) Chris Pourcel catch back up to at least 2nd in the Lites main after a mediocre start? That’s a mystery, because he was far and away the fastest Lites rider in practice, and despite a time consuming crash in the first turn of his heat race, he was able to come through most of the pack and qualify easily (6th). 527 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Broc Hepler Posted: 03/19/09 BHep was all smiles on the podium. 450 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes
WRH NOLA: Superdome Posted: 03/19/09 The Superdome is literally built like a bomb shelter, with no windows of any sort to the outside, and huge concrete walls closing it all in. 490 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Pits Posted: 03/19/09 There was no pit party, and the teams were split up with the factory rigs coming up close to the track entrance, many of the privateers inside the stadium, and everyone else in a parking lot across the road. 487 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Bummer Posted: 03/19/09 It rained almost constantly beginning around 11AM and rarely letting up until after showtime. 417 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes	WRH NOLA: Daniel Blair Posted: 03/19/09 As the top Cinderella-story/pinch-hitter story of the entire season, Blair is holding his own on that Geico Powersports Honda, putting it at the front of the pack, if even for a little while. He said in a pre-race interview that it’s all like a dream come true for him, and that this is the team he’d always wanted to be a part of, so it just pumps the feel good factor up to levels previously unknown, for sure. 432 Views 0 Comments Rating: 0 Likes
