Motoamerica at V.I.R.

Disparities vs illegal motors is 2 different things. We still have not seen any evidence that within well built legal bikes, that there is much if any HP differences. I think we have clearly seen that there are multiple levels of rider ability. Where do you think your kids would fit on that spectrum?

 

Live Timing was REALLY telling last Friday. Plus if you follow past results to what happened last weekend some teams made a significant jump up the field. No, I'm not calling anyone a cheater, was just analyzing data to see where we would stack up if making the jump to MA.

There is a very distinct difference between the chassis. My rookie /uninformed observation is that three different tiers of bikes exist on the grid. Yes, I understand even at JC there is a huge difference in talent that could explain some results.

When two of our bikes were stuck together at Willow Springs we only seen 113mph ish. Seeing 121mph ish last weekend, it was a gut punch.

Not sure what went down. Possible some protests or MA finally sniffing what others have been saying. In all honesty, to quench all the rumors / bickering / etc----They should of tore down the top ten.

Going to be a interesting next round to see how this shakes up and who ends up in the top ten. I's venture to say we will see another shuffle of riders near the top. (opinion)

 

did Coreys helmet come off? Sounds like a personal problem and not one with the org..

 

maybe spun on his noggin once into the A/F ?

I've had great results with MotoAmerica Live app. I normally watch them later in the day instead of live, but when I do watch live it's worked just fine.

 

I think like most products and services, the people with great results aren't shouting about it from the mountain tops.

The folks who have had issues air their grievances. And even though they're a small percentage of users, they're the voices that you hear.

 

yeah looked like the helmet grabbed a bit on the air fence and spun around. Looked scary as hell. Glad that giant air bag was there to stop his crash rather than the tirewall.

Also, I'm generally a fan of Live+. There have been a few live event issues: dead mics, a/v problems fading between shots, etc., but the feed seems to have been mostly been reliable this year. Biggest thing is just knowing when they're actually on air for coverage.

- Edit - okay so that power outage at RA was pretty bad, actually delaying the race and ultimately making Petrux DNF.

 

Is this rule valid? Yes yes I know, RTFRB

 

At the end of the day just a passionate enthusiast who loves racing. But yes, appears I'm the only who who has shown bias in this thread.

 

Disagree. Marshalls witnessed him coming off his bike at 160mph-ish. That's friggin horrific in and of itself. Then he was lying on the ground for quite a while. I saw the video of him staggering around when he did get to his feet. They should have been running towards him.

 

It's already been established that supposed 2 minutes was straight b******* and if you can get up all under your own power as a professional motorcycle racer people are going to assume you're relatively okay.

If you need medical attention, don't get up.

 

I always add 30 minutes to record time.
Only thing I missed was if they talked to Petrucci

 

Exactly.

 

I guess the difference here is that in the USA when there's a crash, the rider is on his own. Elsewhere in the world, 3-4 corner marshals are running toward the rider, no matter what, even before he's stopped sliding.
