jumping on and off that bridge looks so slow. think well see anyone double it come race time? they gotta be able to do it. landing is sooo steep tho.

Milsaps gear looks sweet....350 looking good

RV getting a replicated track is BS. This is exactly why Durtwurx shouldn't release the layouts! AMA should enforce this. My god, protect our privateers won't you? Not only do you not pay them jack (because a nascar driver that gets 40th gets paid quite a bit.) but now you allow the factory boys to have more and more and more and mooreeee of an advantage. Isn't riding under a Rig advantage enough? C'mon!

@SB314: as far as the on-off...you mean they will just land on the downside of off part instead of on-offing? Kinda like the mx sim hot lap?

he had atlanta made at home also. IMO, its not really that big of an advantage. sx obsticles are all the same. just randomly placed. also, they changed atlanta. and the dirt is going to be different. a daytona replica, if it was pretty close to the real deal could play an advantage in bike setup, but im sure they have that saved from last year.
also georgie, alot of the top guys let the privateers practice at their places. idk if RV does, but i know windham, short, canard, millsaps and the stewarts do.
the one thing i will agree on is the pay tho. they for sure get the shaft on that. i bet you daniel herrlein could have made more for winning summit indoors than he made in that main last week. especially if he has to pay for his own travel and hotel.

yea. just like when the bridge is usually the finish line jump. then triple single after it. doesnt look like its gonna happen tho. in mx sim everyone was tripling over it.

Everyone is complaining about how JS7s Yamaha is such a bad bike. If it is so bad, how does he manage to win the heat races every single week? It obviously cant be too bad. I think when it gets to the main he just does not come through....We will see in a hour or so here.

 

[barrington314]

the pace is ramped up a notch on a much more torn up track. 20 laps instead of 8. top 20 fastest riders instead of 20 out of the top 40.

I wouldnt say that its a bad bike but it dont look like stewart is comfortable on it.. i def think he could do better on a honda.

 

[John250]

Really??? And you would judge that from what? JS7 has never rode a Honda? I personnally think that perhaps it is the rider sitting on the bike.......
