Gary Bailey, veteran track designer for the Daytona Supercross at Daytona International Speedway, is out of jail after being charged with exposing himself to customers, including a child, at an Ormond Beach Wendy's restaurant.
Bailey, 62, was sitting at a booth just before 8 p.m. on Feb. 10 attempting to make eye contact with a 71-year-old female customer who was dining with her husband, police said.
She later saw him masturbating with his shorts unzipped after moving from her seat as she was leaving the restaurant, a police report said.
The Holly Hill woman confronted Bailey about his actions and had the restaurant manager contact police.
Bailey responded by tucking his exposed genitals into his pants and leaving the scene, the report said. He was later stopped by police in the 300 block of Clyde Morris Boulevard and arrested.
Police charged the long-time dirtbike course designer with a misdemeanor for lewd and lascivious conduct, and a felony for lewd and lascivious conduct in the presence of a 5-year old. He posted $10,000 bail and was released Sunday, according to an officer at the Volusia County Branch Jail.
Bailey, who lives in Axton, Va., has designed the Daytona Supercross course since 1971, making the annual trek for the event to the Speedway, where he stays in a recreational vehicle.
The race is considered one of the most prestigious and challenging ones in the AMA/EA Sports Supercross series featuring the top dirt bike riders in the country.
It has become notorious as the longest and toughest man-made course in the circuit.
As a pioneer in motocross racing, Bailey's name is synonymous with the development of the sport. He was the first American motocross racer to beat the Europeans, later founding the Gary Bailey MX School in 1969 to train future riders.
According to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Web site, Bailey has worked with motocross greats such as his son David Bailey and Damon Bradshaw, Ron Tichenor, Sebastien Tortelli, Travis Pastrana and Ryan Hughes. He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.
Bailey could not be reached for comment on the incident. The Supercross is scheduled for March 10 this year.

TWINKIES A KITCHEN STAPLE FOR GOURMETS
You might think Twinkies are junk food, but some people actually turn the creamy snack into gourmet meals. A new book "The Twinkie Cookbook" even features recipes such as Twinkie Sushi gross-- I sounds gross, but the dish combines dried fruits, fruity candies, mangoes and fruit leather with the Twinkie serving as the "rice". There also are Twinkie Burritos-, which incorporate flour tortillas and strawberries as well as Twinkie Turkey that sweetens a normal dinner right up by mixing Twinkies into the stuffing :lol: If these creations don't sound appealing, the book also offers more traditional recipes such as Twinkie Strawberry Shortcake and Twinkie Eclairs

WOMAN STEALS COURTHOUSE RUG
Carpet Caper Caught On Camera
By Mark Hallburn
PutnamLIVE.com
It seems like common sense to most of us. If you're going to steal something, don't take it from a courtroom, and don't do it in front of a surveillance camera.
Apparently there's a shortage of common sense in Upshur County (West Virginia).
Sheriff Virgil Miller says 28-year-old Sarah Zabolotney went to the county courthouse Monday in Buckhannon to pay a speeding ticket.
Deputies say while leaving the hall of justice, she spotted a rug in the courthouse annex and thought it would look nicer in her home.
But Big Brother was watching, and a "Candid Camera," and friends with badges. Surveillance images show Zobolotney folding up the rug and walking out of the courthouse carrying the carpet under her shoulder.
"People never cease to amaze me," says Miller.
"I thought it was a prank," says Cathy Collins with the Upshur County 911 center. "All of us who were watching and re-watching and looking at the tape were totally amazed."
After some research by law enforcement officers, they called Zobolotney who promptly turned herself in.
Prosecutors say this case was a lay down. Photographs can be very convincing.
Zobolotney was convicted of larceny in the same courthouse. Magistrate Charlie McCourt sentenced her to five days in jail where the warden won't be rolling out any red-carpet for her stay.
Perhaps Martha Stewart can stop by and give her some decorating lessons for her jail cell.
Maybe not.
In case you're wondering, no, Zobolotney didn't get to put the rug in her cubicle. It is back in the courtroom annex where it belongs.

MICHIGAN TODDLER HAS CHOPS OF JAZZ DRUMMER
Julian Pavone of Bloomfield Hills, MI. is only 20 months old but his drumming abilities have impressed some expierenced jazz musicians so much that he has been hailed as the reincarnation of legendary drummer Tony Williams. That pleases Julian's father, Bernadino Pavone, who ssys his son can actually play in time signatures such as 7/4, which are difficult even for professionals. Julian started playing the drums when he was 3 months old when his father held him on his lap with drumsticks. His stickmanship has improved so much since then that he not only plays on the drumline at Cleveland Cavaliers basketball games, he's about to release his first CD. "Go Baby" which features the toddler jamming on fusion jazz songs with bassit Ralphe Armstrong

Furry, lobster-like creature discovered
A new crustacean that looks like a lobster covered in silky, blond fur has been discovered in the South Pacific.
The creature has been called the "Yeti crab." The blind crustacean, Kiwa hirsuta, is about 15 centimetres long. Scientists have labelled it with its own genus and species, Kiwa hirsute: "Kiwa" after the goddess of shellfish in native Polynesian culture and "hirsute" because it's hairy. The crustacean has a white shell and 10 legs. It measures about 15 centimetres from tip to toe, or about the size of a salad plate, said Michel Segonzac of the French Institute of Research for the Study and Exploitation of the Sea. The researcher co-authored a paper that describes the find in the most recent issue of Zoosystema, the journal of the National Museum of Natural History in France. The blind creature has pincers covered in hairy strands and has "the vestige of a membrane" instead of eyes, Segonzac told the Associated Press. A U.S.-French expedition in a submersible caught the creature at a depth of 2,300 metres in a hydrothermal vent about 1,500 kilometres south of Easter Island last year, the team reported. The crustacean is the newest member of Galatheoidea, a group of 10-legged animals that includes lobsters, crabs and prawns.
