Windstorm -ozzy go- theweege.blogspot.com

Back when Kevin Windham first broke into the pro ranks
with Yamaha, they ran an ad campaign harkening back to
the days of Bob "Hurricane" Hannah. After each win, they
rang up the Kevin "Windstorm" Windham nickname in hopes
of creating another Hurricane. Well, now I get the chance to
get all poetic and symbolic and deep.

A giant windstorm swept through Texas last night, enough
to trash most teams' tents and apparently knock out power
transformers all over the area. It was also enough to
ground us in the Houston airport this morning, and now we
are stuck in Charlotte after our whole flight schedule got
jacked up. The weather forecasters were actually right this
time, since they were predicting these winds. Same for the
forecasters who predicted the Windstorm would plow
through the supercross field. Last weekend, Kevin Windham
only notched fifth and never quite got to the same level he
was on at Anaheim 3. But everyone was still calling the #14
for Houston. He designed the track, he had tons of fans
from his native Louisianna heading in to cheer him, and
then he threw down a faster lap than Chad Reed in the final
qualifying session. full story on theweege.blogspot.com
