When it kicked off four years ago, it felt kind of gimicky, but I'm growing fonder of this holiday treat.
Baker will be there to defend his title for a third time - http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/235640/1/marquez-baker-to-scrap-for-fourth-superprestigio-title.html (http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/235640/1/marquez-baker-to-scrap-for-fourth-superprestigio-title.html)
The best part of the article is the photo of Marquez - I have no idea what he's doing here, but it's sure not your standard flat track action shot:

Massa was trying to drag a handlebar. :D
Jr Class kids are getting after it. [clap]
MM was unstoppable. I thought Brad might have something for him in the final.

They were only about 1/2 second slower than the big kids! [thumbsup]

Some fun facts from my failing memory...
Though Marquez and Baker were both on Hondas, there seemed to be some suggestion of Marquez using traction control and could be seen in two of his heats adjusting a bar mounted dial. No confirmation on his set up.
Toni Elias turned the fastest lap of the race on the Suzuki and was my dark horse for the upset win. I am a fan of the way that guy races.
AMA is considering making full leathers mandatory in flat track. Not sure if it covers all displacements and classes.
