The guy wasn't really a front end rider.I've watched him at Delaware for a while.What he always did was figure out a way to try and save ground-which is never a bad thing.If anything he patterned his style after Mike McCarthy who was the leading rider there for a lot of meets.Save ground and be patient.He gets on good stock for Tim Ritchey who is always over 20 %.Stew Elliot sucks-this guy is solid,but top 5 is a stretch.
