    Kind of a bummer that the weather was such crap for the last round of the season. Glad to see Cam P and Scholtz take wins.

    It’ll be interesting to see what moves are made in the off-season. I don’t see any team having the package to take the fight to attack round after round next year.

    Being out there was a little miserable with all the water. But was such an entertaining weekend, didnt know who would win till the very end.

    Shout out to Danilo Lewis who was P6 on the first SBK race but unfortunately crashed with 2 corners to go.
    Gabriel DaSilva with that awesome win
    And Jody Barry closing the season with a 2nd.
    Had a lot of fun this year helping them all.

    did you race in that weather, man it looked so crazy. I know from racing a car in the rain its the great equalizer but being on a bike hydroplaning and hearing them spin up, dam who had brown shorts after those races.

    There was a rare moment when Pridmore and GW were silent and you can actually hear the bikes. They were focusing on Cam Petersen and he spun up that M4 Zook like no ones business. Shit was thrilling to hear but I'm sure Cam could do without it.

    that was something, hell i thought njmp was the wet track

    Huge shout out to Kayla, Cam P, De Silva and SDK.

    Thoughts for Rocco and Richie

    got a kick outta baz saying he is the "king of the rain" then conveniently leaving the other two who binned it and still finished ahead of him out in the post :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    i almost forgot - Zanetti got more wins than Baz hahahah

    season was meh competitively (imo) but very happy for the series in terms of turnout, hype and the recent espn deportes announcement.

    here's to 2022 :beer:

    I hope Kayla can do a better job qualifying.
    Would love to see what she can do starting up front.

    Not only was it his first time there, he did that time in Q1 while there was a HUGE trail of oil dry right at the entrance to museum. Impossible to avoid. Q1 was cut short when lightning got too close. Them boys were movin'!

    I believe Kaleb did a 1:30.xxx in last year's race, right before crashing so we knew it was gonna be FAST.

    These Apes are great when they stay running, every session one of them doesn't make it. Engines, overheating issues, shifting problems, electronics, I believe Mazz's forks broke in Q2, etc. Marcon's issues appeared to be electrical, the bike just shut off.

    I was very grateful that I had my RV, there was tons of water in the paddock. Barber has some amazing drainage, but damn there's only so much they could do.

    Any idea why Mazz got black flagged in the race? They showed him the flag early in the race, but it looked like he kept going because the ranking on the screen was showing he got up to like 6th or 7th by the end, starting from 32nd or something like that on the last row. At the end of the race they had him in last place in the official results, meaning he got DQ'd.

    I don't know but just before Mazz went out it looked like the main zipper on his leathers was broken?

    Dunno if that had anything to do with it but it caught my eye.

    I don't know. He was DQ from Q1 also, and I don't know why, although I was told his forks broke internally- not sure what that had to do with the DQ. I didn't have a chance to ask Nobi.

    Jumped the start and the restart by A LOT like he was being very intentional about it.
