    Any info/updates on the riders conditions?

    I haven't seen anything really official on any of them.

    Also - unless you have info directly from the rider or their family I'd appreciate you refrain from speculation.

    Ricardo Valdez (109) P3 on the front row is in good spirits from the last FB post I saw.

    I was on the wall with one of combat vet's working with Rob Linders (Tyler's father) team. I will say it one of the worst incidents to have happen in recent memory. All the teams lent a hand and jumped over the wall to assist. It was a group effort. I've been in touch with Rob, and I'm sure he will eventually post up on Tyler's condition. Our thoughts go out to everyone, families and riders.

    Seeing the Yosh TL1000R was pretty cool. I told them they should bring all the bikes out for the Indy GP event.

    That crash was intense. I have never seen so much carnage at the racetrack. I thought it would never end...it was like slow motion. I saw bikes passing without riders, bikes in the air, riders getting launched like rockets and bodies getting ran over.

    Our rider made it through without issue. Once I saw him pass I ran up to help get bikes out of the way. It was great to see all of the teams pull together to help clear everything. It really helped the medics and officials do their job. I thought the AMA handled the situation very well.

    Valdez and Linders were both pitted really close to us. They were both doing very well throughout the event, I hate to see their weekend end like that. I wish them both a speed recovery.

    I remember Steve mentioning something about them running a new US made rear at RA, with I guess similar carbon fiber carcass like they are using on the Q3s now?

    :confused:

    The new tires looked like they were holding up well. Laps times were pretty consistent in the Superbike field.

    The paint was to make sure the tire was mounted correctly. Dunlop wanted the soft or med side on the left side.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Wonder how the Airfence transition went since AMA took it over. I noticed a couple places the fence was bookended with hay bales. Normal I guess?

    Normal for AMA Pro, still not sure why.

    Worse race start pile-up I've seen since WSBK at Laguna in '98

    More shit of riders getting hurt removed.

    Prayers for speedy and complete recoveries for the injured riders...

    What the fuck is wrong with you people?

    How about instead of prayers you don't post shit glorifying hurt riders?
