Hammer & Tongs 2004

(My tip of the Hat to Ed Roth & Rat Fink)

 

this character was the star of my Cartoons in the mid 90s
when I was putting together Road Racing Programs .

His name is Billy
and he is an idiot.

He can be found making his race bike lighter
by removing spokes, adding spoilers
bribing the concessions stand girl to fix the results
and any similarly cretinous approach...

one time at a road race meeting someone asked
is Billy actually a person? = based on one of us?

well, we have all been Billy at some point....

for me, especially early on in my racing career
when I was doing everything wrong....
