Featured Volume 28 Number 2, February 2011 of the Dusty Times for its first place in VORRA’s Prairie City IV Halloween BBQ short course race, the Green Booger makes the magazine again in both write-up and photogenic representation. A few incorrect facts were found in this article, as Messer (1177) did not experience transmission damage during his rollover and 1112 did not have higher compression; it was actually lower than our last race at 11.8. In moto 2 Messer wasn’t out of the race due to being off-course but actually because of a broken distributor rotor. The Green Booger had to take it easy due to a broken beam.

“With all three Class 11’s running higher compression this race it was 3-wide into turn 1 as nobody wanted to give an inch. Bob Messer (1177) didn’t make the horseshoe turn though as he rolled and damaged the transmission. Richard Palasik (1107) and Gary Herrod (1112) went door to door all the way to the checkers with Palasik taking the moto win.”
“In moto 2 Messer was quickly out front with Palasik and Herrod giving chase. At mid-race Messer was off course and out of the moto. Palasik was in the lead and doing well until he too rolled all by himself…in a straight-away. Palasik crew to official, “Hey we’re out in front,” offical’s reply, “You just rolled.” This moved Herrod into the lead and the moto win.”
“In moto 3 Messer was out front again with Palasik and Herrod giving chase. Herrod and Palasik had a battle all the way to the last lap when Herrod stuffed Palasik into a course marking tire giving him the 2nd spot. Overall results: Herrod, Palasik, and Messer.”
