Turned out it was a bike race, where they had different stops where they needed to do things, and Chassis was one of them.

Ah, that explains the helmets.  At first I assumed it was to prevent the inevitable wild barrel head injuries.

WHT DA. I'm in!


Hmm... just looked up the location. That's super close to the Hidden Treasures arcade I recently heard about (but have yet to visit)... I wonder if they are connected.

I'm gonna lay low and wait til near the end to play. That way more people sign up. Kappa

Although, if I recall, there is a gamer who lurks in the peripheral shadows over on that edge of town that may be able to get like 300K/400K. I'll have to watch out for him/her.

I put up about 200k and then stopped. It was on 4+1 settings, so I didn't care that much. Neither of the other guys could get more than 40k.

Interesting article.  So do I take it Billy Mitchell will start to make his comeback in the summer of 2017 since his son will be graduating then, or does he have a younger child?  So it sounds like he still gets people recognizing him.   Also it is kind of cool to see his son getting some pretty solid offers from Division 1 schools.   I don't think I have seen the kicker receiver combo trick before.

From my conversation with Billy when I was driving him to Fairfield last August, my guess is he will be busy following his son's football endeavors for quite a while. He's pretty serious about giving his son the best shot at going pro. Because of this, he was actually quite interested in hearing my opinion on the subject, having been down that road, myself. Maybe this next August he'll need another ride and I can scrounge up some new info on how his son's potential looks and when Billy might finally have time to do a bit more gaming.
