I just want to know why AMS dissed us all on the Laguna Seca watch party? What's up with that? They want to kiss and make up with this get together? Hmmm? Just saying. :P
I think most of them were there at Laguna Seca
I know there had to be someone around! last year was fun. Hope everyone has fun this year, take pics!!
Me +1
Hmm Pedrosa gets new tires and the Pneumatic RC, will be interesting to see how that works for him vs. Hayden
I might make it down. Looks like rain so I will be caging it so Amy will probably come as well.

Yeah, I think Ike could put a big dent in riding activities this weekend. Still trying to get my friend more interested in watching the race at AMS than at my boring house. We need the rain badly but not on weekends please. [moto]

Straight up tell your "friend" that you will be watching at AMS & he is welcome to join us [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
I'll be there, but not eating at the murder table... We ARE watching the 250s also, right?!??!?
What channel is the race on? I looked on speed and all they have listed for on sunday is the 250 race at 6pm. I also searched espn, but still could not find the race. So somebody help!!
May be on CBS again
Yep, CBS for sure. All the rest is on SpeedTV as usual and for the rest of the series... both MotoGP and WSBK.
:P Hurricane Ike has wrecked our plans to go to Austin this weekend !
The good news is now I can join in the racewatch !! [thumbsup] I'll be solo & I e-mailed AMS to rsvp! [moto]
See y'all there ! ;D

I might, maybe, possibly make it ...pending the outcome of the doggie doctor visit.
:-\
I think the race may be on NBC this time. Might want to double-check.

You are absolutely right. It is NBC not CBS. Just checked my sticky note I put on the calender and there it was... NBC. [thumbsup] CBS had three others earlier this season and NBC has this one by itself. Thanks for clearing that one up!
Wonder who the commentators will be? At least we won't have to listen to Gregg White and his goofy BS. :P
Thanks! NBC here I come!
I am gonna try to make it. Is Nash springing for the beer?

Svoloch is now 2 to 4 people. it may just be the whole fan-damily if I can convince 'em, if not, it will be me and Xander, or maybe just me :(
Xander prefers WSBK because he's a Haga fan... but he likes Stoner also, especially when he wins, like on this coming Sunday.
Any predictions? Will a newly bridgestone-wearing Pedrosa get back on the podium? Will Stoner get out of his crash head? What the hell is up with West owning everyone in practice? So far, Rossi ran off the track, and Stoner crashed out at one point, and the word is that the new part of the track is not nearly as grippy as the old part...
I'm thinking it's going to be a hell of a good time... Plus in the 250cc realm, we have some major grudge match action going on... at least 4 people are seriously pissed at Barbera, who seems gleefully immune. Simoncelli is still fuming in particular, and I can't wait to see what that looks like on the track....
come on, sunday!!
Anyone heard if the rain is going to let up in Indy by Sunday?
Well if you trust the weatherman, 60% in the afternoon
I won't leak any info from the FPs or QP (later today), but the conditions were all over the place.

Did you watch the interview with hayden? He pretty much confirmed the move to Ducati
Yep, it had that awkward feeling w/ Dani sitting right next to him.

Ya, especially after he was asked about his thoughts on the split garage.
I can understand the partitioned paddock for the tire info confidentiality, but I'm sure there's been an invisible line in there for awhile now.
I really liked how Nicky said he's going to finish the season/HRC contract as best he can. Good guy [thumbsup]

Yeah, very cool
What time is everyone showing up?
Noon!
Very nice to see some of the gang at AMS for the race watch. Nice to hang with some at the Dub afterwards too. [drink] Great to see Ashok! It's been awhile. No spoiler here but it was a great race, very exciting and loved the results. That's all you're getting out of me until a few days go by and folks get to see their recorded versions if they missed it live. Sorry I missed you Swanny, they said you were there for awhile but left before the race started. We could have talked up the AR trip! [thumbsup] Thanks to AMS for opening the doors, inviting us and supplying food and drinks. Well done!! [thumbsup] [beer] [clap]
Sorry we missed you. We left at the same time as Swanny. Had a really good time, and it was nice meeting Swanny, McKraut, and Cyclone, as well as the DLS family. I'm sure that there were others, but I have been drinking [drink] [beer]

I had a great time & if AMS is reading - thank you for the hospitality & letting me sit on bikes I want so, so, badly!
The Doctor & I both need a Ducati !
Nice pics bro'!! Was a good time for sure, glad I could make it. Had a great time with everyone and my friend who was going to come to my house and watch it couldn't because his wife just had her first chemo treatment Friday and was not fairing well. :P Just as well, he said he hated it. What's up with that? He emailed me a pregnant dog-fest about the racing, the track, the weather, the commentators...everything. Glad I wasn't around to listen to it. [thumbsup] Too many negative waves man. I thought it was a damn good race and I like those commentators... they crack me up and they know wtf they are talking about. Read: not Greg White! Anyway, really nice time and a good (but awlfully wet!) race!! See ya'll in Arkansas!! [moto]
Here's my silly photos (some courtesy of WiWa). Maybe I'll try looking through the viewfinder next time... :P

Hey Cyclone, thank you for the nice picture! It was good to see everyone at the event, and Duc L'Smart go get yourself a splint on that digit.
