=========================================

[Speedster]

Devers 10.84 here from 1996 is probably the best complete race I have seen her run.

Its a quick track, however with the weather and the class of the field I suspect an 11.0 will win. They usually set the race up so that Kim can take the victory. I am hoping she is still in decent form to give her a good send off in front of her home crowd.

Talk about setting up a race for Kim to go out on top. LOL.

[eldrick]

they set it up for her ever year

if they transported '88 flo-jo in a time-machine, she'd still lose to kim, 11.20 to 11.25

They are showing the Kim tribute. Pretty cool.
