I don't remember what place he came in at last years Southwick...I do remember him going down pretty hard on the 2nd lap. Southwick is the most energy draining track I myself have ever ridden/raced, but in the same breath, the most fun!
Back in the mid 90s before I turned "A" rider, we used to get to practice with Dowd and Doug Henry on occasion during a local NESC race.....not to dis-credit either of them guys by any means, but it really makes you take a step back and really evaluate your own riding regimen when you get lapped in a 10min practice
.... it was so much fun watching them two toy with each other on the track...in a friendly way of course.
But it was good to see Jimmy racing at Oakland last weekend.
