noob doing an endurance pit stop at Texas World Speedway

stoopid question.

why can't the bike be touched while refueling?

static electricity? fire? rule?

WTH? Did they know they were in a race? They had all the urgency of soccer mom filling up the minivan at the local Sunoco station

Back a few years ago when I was part of an endurance team running motoseries endurance we did a rider change and fuel in less than 12 seconds.

You can't refill and be working on the bike, so the rule is you can't touch it while refilling. Evidently, Colin Edwards wasn't aware either, haha.

Yeah we were standing around Saturday night watching the little Red Bull challenge and I look over to my right and I'm like "Holy S*** is that Colin Edwards?!?" as he strolls past me lol. Pretty cool for him to just be hanging out.

that is awesome =)

I hear CE is a real hoot to be around. Wish I could have been there to meet him.

Galindo?? That wasn't about 60 year old Rudy Galindo was it? ex works racer.

I won a free 4-day boot camp last year at his place. The experience was awesome and Colin is as cool and down to earth as you can get.
