I'm not going to comment on the race, but two observations regarding the CBS coverage

A+  Digital signal (or at least better than the crappy signal from Speed)
C    Race commentary.  Kevin Schwantz, A;   Gregg White, D (So does anyone else think he would be better suited to ring-side WWF Wrestling ?)commentator?

And while I'm at it, does anyone else think Chris Vermulen looks like a hobbit?



Heck yeah! He's yelling!  :o

You know I kinda liked Gregg White when he did the Two Wheel Tuesday weekly bike show on SpeedTV. Hated to see it be replaced by Superbikes [puke] :P, just a bunch of stupid stunt shit. But today he sucked. I agree with Lisa, he should commentate for WWF. What was he trying to prove? Just how bad he could be. Must have driven Schwantz crazy! If White mispronounced De Puniet's name one more time I was going to turn it off!!

Not really a race spoiler here but I sure liked the battle between Vermeulen and de Angelis. Not going to say for which place but it was a really good toss up down to the wire. That's all I'm saying. [thumbsup]

Just hope Gregg White gets real sick before Laguna Seca. What a load. >:(

To say the least the points race is going to be good.

It was a good race to watch, that circuit is pretty sweet.

Laguna Seca is next week.  Where is the watch party going to be?

I would say my house but my family is coming into town on Saturday and they have me on a busy schedule next weekend. :'(

The Laguna Race Watch should be at Boyd's BBQ.  They've got a new 62" DLP.  Plenty of bike parking too (you can even park on the sidewalk without getting a ticket  [evil]).

When does the race start?  I know it's on CBS but I'll be damned if I can find a showtime  [bang]

It could be 5:00 ET. That's what I wrote down when I first heard about the CBS and NBC broadcasts. If it's 5ET then it would be 6CT, right? I guess we will need to make sure.

I don't own a tv.   ;D

BUT I do think I'll be able to grace Boyd's BBQ's presence with my smiling head
-If the race is next weekend.

I have to work 3rd shift next week... but the weekend (at this point) is "off".
