    what was pole the last race they had there? I think a Buell won one of them… doesn’t Stefano ride there a bunch?

    I have no idea and am trying to understand what is fast…

    I’d have to assume whatever time cam throws down, is gonna be fast. Lol

    For reference Ben Bostrom went 21.4 on a test session in march 2012. The race weekend which was later in the year Roger won the first race which was dry 23.0 . Weird weekend weather wise. Second race Hayes won with the race starting wet and drying quick. Now the last few days here have been cool and real windy.

    Anything below 24's I can't fathom the trial breaking into T1 and T10. Back in the day with dwyer mesa Bruno Santi all going 25s fucking ax murder mode.

    Yeah, this. Not really sure what makes him a black sheep, he's by far one of the most popular if not most popular MA racers. If they think he's got an attitude they must not have watched motorcycle racing before 2009 or NASCAR or supercross motorcross.. ever. Kind of a delusional take by chronically online people I think

    Glad I got to do it, back when racing was good back in the dayyyy *boomer laugh*. Would be cool if it's some sort of spec class like the euros

    Junior cup started out as a spec class, then evolved into the Kawasaki cup. I quit paying attention when the riders I know personally moved on.

    Yeah, sadly. At least my buddy Chris pulled up the rear at Laguna with a R3 for the contingency money

    Baggers will be racing at Cota with MotoGp circus…no word on how they will feel about blown engines spewing oil everywhere! Two points paying races on Saturday plus a $5k dash for cash for the top 6 qualifiers on Friday.

    superbike actually had more blown motors and oil slick at COTA. But hey let’s not let pesky facts get in the way!
