Road America - MotoAmerica Round 4

I guess I can plan on this Saturday being one spent washing cars, finally finishing painting garage and watching racing. Pretty sure when racing is over the hockey game will be starting.

Here we go!

 

Their sound team needs some sound.

 

Rain America.
I'm shocked.

 

Wow Parrish!!! Smackdown in qualifying. Well done Draik also.
Anybody know why Barnes never posted a time?

 

I'm guessing, since he has years of experience in the rain and he already had pole, figured there was no need to chance something happening.

 

Weather has been a challenge, nothing new for Road America...

Sat out FP2 since there wasnt anything to gain. We were putting on rains when the Q1 session went hot. Turned out most everyone was on rains, at least the ones up front were.

Times should be better in the dry tomorrow for Q2, but as it stands now, the front row is Parrish, Murray, and Draik.

Your times from practice aren't used for qualifying, only is used as a provisional way into the grid as long as your under the cutoff and you don't make Q1 or Q2. Kind of like running "scratch". -if I understand the rules-

 

Josh Hayes looks awesome! Love seeing him still out there!

 

Damn my feed just hung.

Disregard it’s back.

 

Hayden in a Team M4 sandwich. SDK looking racy, about to be one to go.

 

shit this race is awesome.

 

Great race! Hayden Gillim played that perfectly, SDK raced both of them hard, Bobby looks a little upset by that, but it's the last lap...

Also glad to see the Rickdiculous bike looking competitive again.

 

Everyone that isn’t watching this is missing out. I need some food and to run to the store but am glued to tv.

 

Further solidifies my opinion. Not a Hayden fan.

 

Why?

 

His bike went all over the track when someone would try to pass him. Very dirty in MY opinion. Of course no one here will see what I saw. And that's ok.

 

You mean when he would over / under people? It's called racecraft... The dude rides really hard, but I can't think of him ever really bumping into people. Are you upset about Josh Hayes out braking people too and shutting the door?

Want to complain about the Jr. Cup riders going 4 wide into T5 and squeezing Dominique Doyle?

 

No I mean when he was following fong, and sdk made a few attempts to pass him on the straight....and could have if room had been left..

 

The straightaways aren't straight at Road America. The racing line moves across the track. Watch other series from there and you'll see it too. You should also probably watch a Moto 3 and 2 race sometime too.



The line goes back and forth several times on several of the straights.

 

Herrins got it going on! So mad I didn’t fly out to this race weekend. The racing is great.

 

Cam Peterson looks really good. All that Josh Hayes coaching is paying off!
