Yesterday I had the honor of hosting the MotoSL Season 2 awards ceremony and party at the galleries on Hotgates! This post is to express my warmest, most heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, and made it such a great post-season reunion.
Gianluca Mahoney—top-ranked independent rider for the season, by the way—graciously lent his club-entrepreneur’s skills (and huge stash of lights and dance floors) to enhance the setting. DJ Miggy rolled the tunes, for maybe the first time in daylight. Korbin King provided a great highlights reel, 27 minutes of thrills and spills on the big screen. I’ll post a permanent link to that as soon as we decide from where to stream it. For now it’s viewable here, Quicktime required. And MotoSL Director Les White, to whom we owe it all, provided posters of all the top racers, displayed around the deck and also distributed in high-res collection as part of the “goody bag”.
Vince Nacon made up some over-the-top trophies for riders first through third and for the number one team, a happy burden to hoist. From left to right above that’s Silk Bamboo, 2nd in Rider’s Championship; Bike Racer, 3rd; and me with the 1st place trophy teetering precariously overhead. Thorn Blackflag did the honors for his first-place Red Wings team: find that pic and others on the MotoSL site. And there were wall plaques as well, for all finishers down to 10th place for riders and top 3 for the team championship. For details on who won what, you can look at the final point standings on the MotoSL web.
I’m so happy to have had the good fortune to become involved in this series. And of course delighted to have won the rider’s championship! To all my wonderful friends and fellow racers, thanks again.
