    We can make all kinds of excuses, but this is racing, I suspect they've all been made before, and pretty much everyone knows we're just a couple of guys who failed to go fast making excuses!

    Often when trying to get up to speed, I am trying so hard to execute the changes I have made in my head, then I fail to make them at the critical moment- over and over. The frustration grows and sometimes I feel like I am going crazy. It's a vicious mental cycle that sometimes can't be broken until the weekend is over and you get some perspective. I think we've all been in contact with other riders who are hopelessly slow. Sure, you can advise them on certain techniques to try, but in reality there's nothing you can really say to that person, they have to find a certain confidence themselves before whatever mental barrier is holding them back is broken through. Monday I was back to work and I was glad I could still fly the heck out of a 737, so I know I'm not completely nuts.

    I think it was Turpin on the Boulder Motorsports Pierobon X60R running easy 56's with no 1 in sight in '13.

    What's frustrating the most is knowing you can and like you said, going through it over and over again and doing the same stuff wrong over and over. Every lap I was like, ok run over the curbing going in and get hard on the gas over the curbing coming out and with the power a little power wheelie should result. Nope, every time my drive coming out sucked.

    Well there is only up from here that I know. Anyways I saw myself a couple times getting passed on tv lol. Yay me for not getting in the way while I was apparently drunk and slow

    Nicky Hayden let Mat Mladin pass him in the horseshoe on the last lap. Mladin went through the chicane in the lead. Nicky drafted past him after coming off of turn 4 and Mladin was able to draft back past at the line to win by 11/1000 of a second.

    mdr14 What?

    MD Racing and Track Side Engineering and Cory West are handling the appeal in a proffesional manner. That is why you are not seeing us flood the social media with emotion driven posts.
    Thankfully, our professional reputations are very solid and beyond reproach.
    The 2017 Daytona 200 2nd place finishing bike prepared by MD Racing and Trackside Engineering, piloted by Cory West was at all times tighter than a ducks ass on water with regards to full compliance of the rules for the 2017 Daytona 200. The motorcycle was inspected by the ccs technical staff and found to be in full compliance, passing without question. As we all know, the only point of contention was the airfilter.

    Once this is resolved, i will be happy to discuss and post more on this.

  15. I think I saw West' bike inhale a seagull through the air intake coming out of NASCAR 4.

    Good luck on the appeal. I hope it works out. I hated seeing Cory DQed.

    watched the fanschoice replay. Having the gap close from West to Eslick with under 10 laps to go, and them going back and forth (but Eslick always able to draft by at S/F) was way more exciting than the 3-4 second gap stay the same all the way to the end.. interesting, but cool as f**k.
     
  20. Yep. Danny hit 22 of them and not one sucked in :)
