    Sorry about X, but I love racers helping racers.

    Good to hear you are back out there, it sure has been a tough two rounds. Fortunately, with Kris's talent, he should be up to top three pretty quickly.

    C'mon, spill it, if you can? I'm not there and just got back to the office so haven't seen or read anything regarding the races.

    He had to pull off the grid. It sounded like something from his morning crash surfaced on the warm up lap. He had to wave to starter and roll the bike off.

    That spec fuel as mentioned and did you hear people mention how bumpy the track was now? We all know Pirelli is the best thing since sliced bread, which is what you are trying to say here, unless I'm totally missing your point? lololol

    Plus I think Laguna already showed the Pirellis are quicker, didn't it?

    I'm very proud of SpeedMotoCompany's Kinzer Naylor (the only Kawasaki on the fulltime SS grid) for scoring his first Supersport championship points w/a P13 finish in race 1. I've traveled to a few rounds with them (RdATL, VIR, Rd AM) as driver/babysitter/tire-fetcher/sticker technician. Kinzer and his pops (Brian) work out of a cargo van (which handles like shit and has no cruise control) and just keep on keepin'-on. See ya'll at PittRace.

    When I had a job much of it was analyzing data, so for me it's interesting to compare things. For instance at Laguna with Q times the WSBK guys haven't gone faster than MotoGP yet after X amount of years. And here at Miller MA hasn't done the same with WSBK from 6 years ago. So I like to ask when will bike tech, electronics, and tire progression help get faster lap times on a given track. Or maybe the track will continue to degrade and it won't happen until a repave? Yeah I'm weird. :D

    Pretty boring race overall.

    Good to be with a top notch run race team when your bike burns to the ground day before the race.

    Yosh is simply amazing, I’m pretty sure Graves could pull off this feat as well so no bragging there.

    Elias to me isn’t wanting to run off especially on this shall I say this here MA built tire to even the field a bit. Yea I said it, totally apparent at beggining of the year the Yamaha’s were about to be slaughtered by the suzuki HP so let’s change the playing field a bit with the introduction of a new tire. Yea right lol MA would suffer with the ratings hit with two Suzuki’s slaughtering the field as the current rules stood. Hell privateers like Lewis would be threat as he should he on a good bike he’s on.

    Haha Yamaha has needed intervention for years to be competitive at this level, full on SBK face it I’m not seeing this for the first time.

    Ok fast forward Elias gets this new tire made for Yamaha and probably I’m correct. He instantly starts crashing and yosh goes backwards. Even poor old Rog is having his first bad season ever.

    I’m throwing the bullshit flag at MA as they knew exactly what they were doing in all this.

    Hats of to Elias for literally figuring out the Yamaha/MA tire given advantage in 9 Laps and holding him off to the end. It’s really apparent to anyone who’s raced a motorcycle the new tire is a pos on the suzuki.

    At Utah as at RA the yosh power though is what wins races in the end on that given track. That Yamaha had nothing for that yosh missile straight line.

    I’m done here go fight this out with the version you been watching band wagoners

    Lol have you been drinking Roy?

    Could it be the Suzuki shit chassis can’t handle it?

    Haha haven’t started yet Rob but thanks for reminding me I’ll start right now. Kinda Hot as fuck here to be drinking.

    Speaking of chassis let’s flashback to the one in question here, Yamaha lol

    Welding shit on to shit comes to mind instantly. Carry on.

    That's one boring-ass track to watch on TV. It looks like Willow Springs. With less spectators.

    Uh? So MA is stacking the deck with development of tires for certain teams? With Pirelli and WSBK over the years this didn't happen and Pirelli would/does pull tires if everyone can't use the new spec fully. But years later with the MA and Dorna relationship it's OK now? Please explain?
