MotoAmerica Round 2 - Road Atlanta - 5/2-4

He is in group B BTW but only because of his number.. He will probably be fine however we all know Road Atlanta… especially our first time…He is pitted in Row 4

 

P8 is 1st practice B group this morning. 1:42.6

 

Not bad for first time

 

Watching the Bradley Smith interview with Carruthers and Bice...interesting

MotoA live coverage starts at 12:15ET

 

Weather hold...lightning in the area.

I guess everyone got a taste of the conditions but weather may be an issue tomorrow. Rains/slicks and mixed conditions will be interesting tomorrow.

 

SDK throwing the gauntlet down in Q1 but Cam B nipped him on the last lap with a 1:24.1
Impressive stuff from SDK on the old Suzook

 

You should go roll around in some Georgia red clay, just for old times sake.

 

What is a "KR151 H1" front Dunlop slick? In addition to a choice of two R options the Hooligans get the H1 to choose from this weekend, I'm not up on my Dunlops and have no idea how it fits into the pattern?

 

Tuna's got his hands full keeping that thing pointed straight,,, doesn't look fun...

 

I wanted to say 'time for custom clamps' but it looks like he's already gone there. There was an MT-09 in A group that looked like it was getting pretty nervous as well when getting passed, and they're supposed to have a ton of trail out of the crate?

Edit: Nope, looking at pics, those are stock cast triples, just little offset in them compared to what I was expecting. Quick, someone overnight him a newly machined set!

 

My buddy Kyle O 4th in Q1 on a privateer bagger.

 

What happened to the SBKU / Ben Smith bike today? No time in two sessions?

JD not racing Stock 1000, just SBK Cup? He has no time listed for Stock 1000.

 

Some Stock1000 riders were put into SBK sessions to even out the track density. Maybe just the SBK Cup riders or the known fast ones.

 

Fixed it fer ya and word from source said electrical issues.

 

Exactly this. The place is packed with Stk 1k guys trying to make the field

 

I'm really excited to see what happens in superbike. Cameron on provisional p1 (makes sense), sdk p2 (he's no fluke, he's was dangerous last year, and he's already at the front on a brand new old bike...)

Then you have Fong, then Herrin. If that was the last qualifying session, I still wouldn't bet against Herrin. At this point I'm rooting for Jake to be in the mix. There is no race where he is 100% where he isn't a factor.

Hopefully it will be dry.

 

Green flag for SSP Q2, no live plus here...anybody got any live plus going???

EDIT: red flag already, hope everyone is OK

 

Still nothing. Submitted a ticket on the site.

Edit: now the stream says it starts at 9:20.

 

Yep, good to go now.

 

Man the red flags are getting a workout this morning
