Notes: Rumor has it that after Oswego Kartway outlawed our division in the 2008 offseason and then mocked us, our karts, and our Greenhouse publically in their (now defunct) web boards in 2009, the same IP address that was associated with Mr. Howell was also used to post a few extremely angry posts mocking a few of our club members, family members, and even threatening violence and murder (to which the police did take note of just in case something happened). We’ve gotten along great with Mike, so we don’t think it was him, nor know who posted them from the same IP he used in the past, but nobody ever did step forth to claim them. 

Who dat? Who dat CM Bigfoot slippin’ in the shit patch?!

KLASSIC 2009 – CM BIGFOOT (played in an Oscar-winning performance by DJ Mike Howell) Attacks (and slips on his swollen baboon asspu$$y?!)!

CM Bigfoot, angrily stalking Professor Speedmonkey!At the 2009 Klassic 200, Professor Speedmonkey’s appearance, victory, and vicious smack-talk last race lured his arch nemesis, “CM Bigfoot” to the track, seeking to destroy him. CM did not have very nice things to say about Speedmonkey in general. In fact, all of the karters were upset with Speedmonkey’s “Soupy $#it trap” that he left in the middle of the backstretch.
