2023 Daytona 200

Baggers at Daytona ugghhh don't get me started

 

MA should scrap the baggers class so you guys can sit there and complain how nobody supports racing anymore, racing is dying and MA sucks.

GTFO. The class is bringing interest, money and rides into the paddock.

This looks like the healthiest D200 weekend in years.

 

Just rename the series "oilers n smokers" and let em practice after the superbike series is over on Sunday.

 

2 smokes are back at Daytona!!!

 

They really should make them run at the end of the day, they know at least one of the Harley's is going to blow every time out.

 

Yep, I would tell em. I will put you guys in the schedule if you can make 3 race weekends without blowing oil all over the track. Until then you go last.

 

I've long thought that guy tip toes on the line of super aggressive and bonehead. But more often than not, I'd call him aggressive. Not dirty, but there is never any doubt over whether he's gonna send it.

 

Harley had Porsche design a motor for them at some point, right? Make that the only homologated motor and seal it.

 

I believe that was the V Rod and it sold as one would expect. Still a cool bike.

 

Yeah cool bike,and a pretty good motor,fast but too heavy, and physically large.

 

Looking at the Bagger DNF's / DNS on RRW there's 7, 6 of them are Harley's. Things that make you go hmm....

 

And the CU18 article on RRW says they use 2 motors every race weekend. Both H-D and Indian.

 

No doubt. I have my two older brothers coming over today to watch the 200 with me and they will absolutely want to see the baggers. They're not H-D guys by any means or anything, just car racing fans that like the novelty of baggers more than the absolute fucking knife fight, edge of your seat experience that proper road racing is, but I digress. The baggers are definitely worth the oil dry and track time they cost when you add it all up.

 

I didn't know they brought back 250GP for the weekend.

 

Potty Mouth Patricia!

 

She’s yummy…

 

I wish.
I miss the GP bikes us typical folks could buy and race.

 

Man, they’re holding that leg like it’s a broken ankle

Poor kid, second high side in the same spot 2 days in a row

 

Meh. Will she get lapped today?

 

So Lochoff, who still on crutches, is too hurt to ride? Hurt enough to retire?? Is so Congrats for his new profession!!

I'll miss watching you Sam!
