Balls to the Wall Meets Guano
in the spring of 2005 Jim "First American" Pomeroy and Gordie
"The Master" Ochs tried to broker a landmark merger. Neither were
known for their political savvy, but highly respected for their
insights. They felt the merger of the Pelican Guano Race Team
and Balls to the Wall Race Team was a perfect match. You can see in
the picture Jim and Gordie trying their damnedest to
make the deal fly. Both teams kept a stable of only prime
European women. I mean bikes. But the Guanos stuck firmly to
their margaritas and tequilla while the Ballers would only drink
beer and 'Shiner bock' at that.
Though the Guanos were superior on the track they thought,
no one disputed the Ballers mastery
at the party. A ballers feast would involve a horrible headache
the following morning after consuming massive quantities of beer,
jambalaya and most often birds riddled with shot. The ballers
were well known to play the banjo and hang out with family members.
To this day people wonder what would have happened if these two
great teams had gotten together. Would they now be known as "Guano
Balls Race Team"? would the price of Cuervo Gold go up with the
increase in demand? Would Shiner Bock be phased out with a fine
German pilsner? These questions sit heavy on most vintage racers
hearts. But rest assured every year at Diamond Dons the rumors
will fly again.
Patience
