    Thanks, thought it might have something to do with time constraints due to all the leaking Harley's :)

    I think they also did it to push the big money teams towards Supersport instead of Twins or STK1000. "cutting travel costs" was also a benefit.

    This weekend will be a big tell for the new Dunlop tires and I believe a preview of what will happen at Laguna with the new pavement there. I would not be surprised to see a return of the older tire with harder compounds available.

    Bummed about missing RA, one of my favorite trips.

    Kaleb FTW in STK 1000!

    Looking at the difference between these two schedules, the MA Live+ is definitely Eastern time.

    most everyone.. If you’ve known Jason that long there are 20 more guys from his day in the paddock in one capacity or another... JU will always make time for fans as will all the Bagger dudes... Hayden Gilliam and JD Beach(only AFT now) are two of the most family friendly guys racing... JD asked me for a bike for Hayden at RA the last time I was racing there, his blew up, a decade later at COTA they were still thanking me... the paddock is full of the best humans I’ve ever encountered... enjoy and make memories

    R7 (0455) and R8 (0585) will probably be the rear tires for Laguna. Just like when barber was repaved.

    Barber's Rewind were several days or a week after the race.
    TV coverage is scarce this year . Same with AFT

    Has MA released a RA specific entry list for the classes?

    Hope superbikes will be a bit closer like Road Atlanta with the HP straights and draft. I don't care how great Gagne is or how hard he worked, I'm sick of him ruining races :D

    Was it last year that Farrell put on an absolute clinic there in the wet? God that was epic.

    I know most are pretty cool guys. It’s been about a dozen years since I’ve made it out to a race … damn family raising and stuff …

    I know it always was that, but I also know a lot of the guys that always made it that way have retired/moved on. Like I said, I just don’t know any of the new crop, and we all know there are some guys that’ll do it because they “have to” versus guys that do it because they love interacting with the fans … read the Nicky Hayden post for some great examples. You know what I mean.
