I hope that next year we can just skip the racing and instead watch everyone follow the pace car for 200 laps.

you mean next year when the race is run on Kawi 250s with 300 riders entered who are all the exact same height and weight?
Like this is the racing, no?

Perfect venue, I'd say.

I'm sorry. I missed the press release from Kawi and DMG regarding this "Bike of Tomorrow" agreement. Can you post a link? Will they also remove the right turns?

I still want to know how a Buell 1125R can be eligible to race in every class. Seems a bit odd.

Buy a ticket?  Why support such a joke of a series?

It's a handicap thing.

Right after I saw it lead part of a lap, I swear I saw a pig fly in the back ground. Right before the fairing and radiator fell off.
I had a nightmare last night about duct tape. I couldn't help but get emotionally involved with that tragedy.  [coffee]

Best part was the duct tape and wire ties weren't cutting it so he pushed his pit crew aside and slapped on his own tape (is that against the rules because he was working on his own bike?)

He's such a dick.  I love him.

BTW, I almost threw the 'Lil Beast at the TV screen when the pace car jumped in front of Hayes, but when they waved Bostrom by and let him circulate for another lap.  What idjits.  I'm glad they fixed it, but seriously, this is total amateur hour.  I mean, the riders didn't even know what the hell was going on out there with all the starts, stops, etc., and Acquino ended up paying for it.

Yeah the whole pacecar deal was a joke...... first they have Bostrom blast around to catch up the instead of slowing down & letting him move thru the pack.

Glad nobody was hurt............. that first one when they had the issue with th lights was insane............ the guy on the Honda was going 50-60 MPH faster than the group :o  Could have been another Bubba Shobert type crash.

Too bad for Hayes...... without the yellow he was gone....... sure was strange to see Miguel on  a Suzuki.  The Buell pit stop was classic [laugh]
