    I will say that the video stream has gotten a lot more stable than it has been in previous years (at least for me), at lot less choppy and connection dropping, so that's definitely good.

    As far as the nit-picking on commentating, I find it more humorous than annoying to be honest :crackup:

    Gotta love Danny. He was thirsty so he got a bottle of water, but he served the other 2 guys some too.

    Arthur Kowitz is my freaking hero. I want to ride at Daytona when I'm 68. Guess I gotta start practicing. Not got many years to get ready.

    backcountryme Word to your mother.

    If I was a factory team boss I would be looking at putting a factory effort in for the 200 and putting Danny on the bike. 2 more and he makes history. What factory wouldn't want that kind of publicity. And is it safe to call Danny the modern day Mr. Daytona yet?

    That was a hell of a race. Congrats to Eslick!

    Congrats to Danny!

    Bummed about Farrell. He was riding excellent. It's too bad his undamaged battery post fell off, bounced up, put a hole in the radiator, and then popped both tires on his Kawasaki that he built in his shop in Illinois.

    No offense to Danny but not even close to Scotts finishes.

    Even Duhamels aren't the same as Scotts

    Yeah, but 6 wins would trump the memories of probably 95% of the motorcycle public.

    +1. Danny is riding great but there's a huge difference from when factory teams are racing and you have international competitors. In the current 200 version, they are on little bikes, no factory involvement (well, directly at least) and few if any of the top level racers in the US, let alone overseas.

    When they make it back to Superbikes, factory teams/riders, then we can start counting again.

    Not to belittle his accomplishments, or any of the riders, it takes a HUGE effort to field a 200 team and finish let alone on top of the podium. I'd love to see Danny on a Superbike in the regular series. I think he'd do well.

    First time I ever saw the 200 and was sitting in the stands there with Kurt Hall, that was amazing to watch.

    Hats off to WERAs JoeyG, top ten on a shoestring budget with a home built motor.
