Two Robbie Horton stories:
1. When he was a young kid in the schoolboy class I lined up next to him for a race in Society Hill, SC where they were running the +25 with his class. He had already walked off and won 3 (or 5) motos that day, so I leaned over and told him, "Follow me...I'll show you the fast way around the track!" In a very polite manner, he smiled as he said, "Thank you, sir." I think he might have even waved as he lapped me that race.
2. At the finish line at Sandhills, Chesterfield, SC they put up signs showning 25, 50, 75, and 100 feet after the finish line jump. It was a single with nothing but a flat landing afterwards. That day most of the C class was landing around 25, the rest of the A and B classes were 50-75 feet. Robbie still had it laid out sideways and fully crossed up as he went by the 100 ft mark.
