Willy: What the hell you need ball bearings for?

Fletch: Awww, come on guys, it’s so simple maybe you need a refresher course. [leans arm on hot engine part, then jumps away] Heyya! It’s all ball bearings nowadays.

Before anyone was Blitzing KBs, recovering on the IR with Dice, prowling the Urban Jungle on the hunt for a decent workout, sweating it out in OOTB-land by the Crick, or huffing Ethanol – there was Fletcher Park.  F3 Raleigh’s first weekday workout.  Ball Bearings is a venue for champions.  A place where grizzled and chiseled OGs like Wendel Gee go to keep their iron sharp.  A lot of guys won’t get it.  A lot of guys aren’t ready for what goes on here.  But guys like Franzia and Elmer Fudd, they’re ready – they can take it.  Guys like Sweeper Boy know, and come all the way from Charlotte for Ball Bearings.  18 in total today came to find out what happens on these hallowed fields:
