Lara's Comments:
I like Alby, but I'm still chapped that Larry tanked that first moto at Steel City last year, so he could clinch the title :( Dammit! And then Larry went down in the second moto, but managed to finish 10th. I wanted to see my boy on the podium!!  And now Alby is retiring. Hate to see him go!   Maybe we'll see him behing the lens.
