supposedly there'll be an announcement today about BBoz riding an LCR Honda at laguna.

forecast says partly cloudy and in the 60s on sunday.  new softer rears coming this weekend, but that forecast is not exactly good.

qualifying will be (not live) on tv again, 8:00pm PT.  race is on at 2:00pm PT sunday.
Like this is the racing, no?

The 60s? That's crazy. Wasn't it just a couple of years ago it was 105+ in the shade at the LS MotoGP? I thought I had  [bang] weather where I live! [laugh]

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Not too different from last year, IIRC.

Laguna can be bone-chilling cold or furnace hot.

I was counting on the delivery of the softer rear tires to disturb the feng shui and produce record-hot conditions.

If BBoz beats Elias, that'll be make the beast with two backsed up.  I'll be happy, but that'll be make the beast with two backsed up.

toni has this race and one more before he gets the boot.  i'm sure this is lucio's way of lighting an even bigger fire under his ass.

BBoz, two races in one day? what is this, WSBK?

What an awesome weekend it'll be.  [thumbsup]

I'll bet he'll post better time than Elias!

Motomatters:  It is understood that no extra bikes will be laid on for Bostrom: the American will take one of Toni Elias' two Honda RC212Vs, leaving both Elias and Bostrom with a single bike to compete on.

Ouch.
