Delisted GA

As the assessment was done by a socking and essentially banned user, major issues such as prose were not adressed. There should be some element of a progression of the race, but a lap by lap recount is not proper prose. I would suggest a reassessment of this and any other articles the user reviewed once the issues are addressed.--Terrillja _talk 04:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)--Terrillja _talk 04:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
