Any true fan of Kona Gold that actually followed his career knows that his single greatest career achievement happened in April of 2002.

SA 04/26/02 5F Dirt 57.80 Handily 1/38
SA 04/18/02 5F Dirt 58.60 Handily 1/27
SA 04/10/02 5F Dirt 58.20 Handily 1/35
SA 04/03/02 5F Dirt 58.60 Handily 1/26


He strung together a personal best 6 straight bullet works between April and May of '02.

Now that is greatness ... who cares about actual racing?

Whatever, dude. Thanks for putting words in my mouth. I guess when I challenged the "kid gloves" comment I was outting myself as the President of the Kona Gold fan club (should I be a suspect in his death?)

Nonetheless, I was wrong. I can see where working him in bullet fashion every 8th day (as opposed to every 7th) could be considered conservative.

Maybe the clockers should have denoted "Handily---with kid gloves".

My bad.
