Road Atlanta MotoAmerica july 31-

Forgive the newbness but how is Escalante able to ride a 636 vs a 600.. Aren't the extra CC's almost "cheating?"

 

lol


Yes, but the rules allow it....

 

Does anyone know whether its cheaper to enter the track on a motorcycle than in a car? The ticket website says VIP parking is $75 (does that mean inside the track?). It says normal parking is $10 (is that across the street?). I would ride my bike to the track if I could get in cheaper and ride to different corners to spectate.

 

The kawasaki 636 has been allowed on the class since at least 2013

 

I believe its a decision to make the competition "even," You're not wrong but they do that shit a ton. the Yamaha can only run a r-3 in liqui molly while hondra runs a 500 and the kawis are 400. In twins the suzukis are 650's and the yamahas are 07's the ducatis are always larger IDFK if there is that much in the "cheating" but im a noob too

 

It's only cheating if it's against the rules

 

No it’s all in the track, vip parking isn’t much special and not worth it.

 

50-50 chance of rain all weekend. I'd prepare for the worst, especially if you are camping. I feel that a few canopies will be left behind in trash cans in the infield this weekend.

 

Kind of like the Kawasaki's weren't allowed to run Pirelli rubber.

 

Mask requirements? Still same as it has been

 

How long will it be before he protests the R6 in supersport?

 

hahaha.. If anything, I think HSBK will protest him over the 636 vs R6. Extra CC's!

 

Anybody see the MALive+ schedule anywhere? Went to the site and it's still just showing Road America.

 

It’s going to be the awesome kind of rain too. 90 degree temps, will rain 30 min enough to get the track wet and hold a nice steady 75-80% humidity for the remainder of the day. It’s been doing it all week but oh well, I’ll park my Jeep in a viewing spot, have golf cart and Zuma plus can jump on a hauler need be. Do have a couple decent fans I mounted with GoPro suction mounts on the golf cart. It’s taken 10 years but I’m slowly adapting to summer misery here.

 

I'll have my avatar picture on my rear truck window tomorrow if anyone wants to hang out lol. I'm hoping to tent up around the inside of the kink.

 

Live timing is up... http://timing.motoamerica.com/

 

still waiting on 22lbs to be added to escalante's bike.. Half second over SDK and 1.5s over Paasch goes a long way in a long race

 

Well it is an extra 36cc of displacement, so it would be fair to put some weight on it.
With that said, I am doubtful if that 36cc is responsible for all of that 0.5 seconds and certainly not all of the 1.5 seconds to Paasch.

Good that PJ is out there, but he does seem to be struggling a bit. Hopefully he can improve over the weekend.

 

For your viewing pleasure...

 

I saw 3 of them get wasted a couple of weeks ago at a softball tournament and they all complained “but we had them staked down” and I just laughed. Mine was tied down to the backstop fence with two tie down straps and it didn’t move an inch.
