Sign Of The Lap Times: Jacksonville

Tuesday, March 22, 2011 | 10:50 AM

There is little to say after Round 11 of Monster Energy Supercross from Jacksonville, other than DAMN things just got interesting. Everyone has his or her own opinion on the series thus far, so rather than give you mine why don't we just comb through the lap charts, brought to you by Motion Pro, to see how it all broke down--because when you think about it, this is what this feature is really about, right?

With the "Kings of the lap charts" Ryan Villopoto and James Stewart each having their problems in Jacksonville, the door was left wide open for the taking. And taken Trey Canard did. Not only did the supercross newbie take home his second victory of the season, he also set the fastest lap of the night with a 44.008.

The two wily veterans of the class--Ivan Tedesco and Kevin Windham--showed everyone that the two old dogs still got a little bite left in their bark. Both riders finished inside the top-six--Windham fourth, Tedesco sixth--recording their best finishes of the year.

It looks like the beaches of Southern California had a dramatic affect on Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson. The Scot put down the fastest lap of the night in J-ville while in the process ending his slump with a runner-up finish.

GEICO Powersports Honda's Justin Barcia looked like a man among boys in Jacksonville. Having a terrible gate pick for the main did little to sway the confidence of the young wild child as he shot out of the gate, grabbed the Nuclear Cowboyz holeshot and never looked back. He also managed to set the second fastest lap of the night with a 45.582.

Fresh off a broken foot, Eleven10Mods.com's Darryn Durham proved his heat race ride in Houston was no fluke. The Honda privateer battled inside the top-five all night long before losing out to a hard charging PJ Larsen with less than two laps to go, finishing the night in sixth. But he put on quite an impressive performance in his first race back from injury.

Funny how Canards fast time is right at 44 flat, the speed announcer AKA Emig was going crazy when Canard pulled a 43 second lap. Im not sure where he gets the info from.

I just watched the race on my DVR last night. Aside from all the action everybody has been talking about all week I have a big question on my mind...

What was with the "30 second" Girls and having some serious stubble going on under their arms? Monster, Feld, and Speed please, do us all a favor and hand these ladies a Bic...

Somehow SX has become a "World" championship. Maybe the stubble is appealing to the Euro market.

Stuble or not, there was one 30 second girl (blonde) who had tits up to her chin. Hadn't seen her before but she was banging. Miss SX on the other hand...barf! Go grab some more creatine.

God, you guys are harsh. If you've been to a supercross this season and saw her in the pits, you know she's super hot. Anyway, I've always found it interesting that the top guys are always separating themselves from the rest. Why can't any of the 2nd tier riders ever match that speed? I know they work there ass off, they discover the same lines. Do they just not try as hard? What are the top guys doing that is sooo much better that the others just don't have the skill to do?

How does Reed have a lower average lap time than Canard? Shouldn't the person with the lowest average lap time be the winner by definition? Must be the new math.... Not the first time I've seen that on this feature either.

Sure, I guess I'm reaching but I'd just like some scientific analysis of why pro riders who train at the top level like short, windham, brayton, metcalf, never have anything for the top riders. I mean it's just one more second. They can't ever push that tiny bit harder?

Just my random thoughts...... Chase glad you study the lap chats as much as I do, I always LOVED right hand first turns cause I knew I would get the holeshot because I could do it with both feet on the pegs. Been to Sturgis and a few other ralleys on my Harleys (no i dont trailer) and have met up with some fine weomen from europe hair on legs and all they were great. yeah we can blame it all on the moon and will have to wait till 2023 I think for the next one that close. May the best, fastest, luckiest rider win!!!!!!!

It's in the head, Thats why there are only a few "fast" guys. Thats why JS is called the fastest. He is willing to push to the next level ( it bits him sometimes for sure). Not to pick on RD but why does he have a hard time passing guys he is faster than? he is not willing to take the risk. You can only go as fast as your mind will let you.

You ask a stupid question, you are prolly going to get a stupid answer... Maybe if WE all " try harder," we all could be SX Champions... acejas,, you make it sound really simple for the 2nd teir guys to just """ go faster """.... Its a little more complicated than that...

acejas wrote: 1:27pm March 22, 2011

See mxmofo, that was actually a pretty good opinion. Why can't you lead with that? It's like first you have to belittle so it gives you time to gather your thoughts. I don't think its that simple though. Head games are definitely a big contributing factor. But is it just drive? What about skill? How is Short still a second off pace after all these years? You'd think he'd find it by now (well maybe not). I just wish I or they knew what that extra piece was. Afterall, closer times means closer racing.

Welker wrote: 1:28pm March 22, 2011

I guess I will make a comment at/to acejes. Hey if yo have never raced at the expert pro level you could not understand that going faster is a lot mor complex than twisting the throttle. You have to be thinking so far ahead and going faster becomes a mental verses everything lines ,what can the bike do, what will happen if I try this or that. The next lever is tough, I neve made it.

acejas ,,, I was not trying to belittle you,, seriously.. MX / SX is more than just hard work,, it also involves talent,, and some have more of that than others.. True, alot of it is head games.. A guy can work his but off riding and training, but if he's not going to do a tough section on the track that a few others are doing, all that training isnt going to help much,,, in SX.. This is where RC comes in.. He was talented an in great shape... JS is talented but was not in as good as shape as RC in MX,, IMO..

Thank you. again, you got some valid points. I was just trying to change up subject matter a bit after talking about the same thing every week ie whos faster, who's timid, who's dirty, who's full of himself. But I guess we can just stick to the basics. Oh well, I thought my question was fun.

Canard has a slightly slower average laptime than Reed, but those lap times are based on when they pass the finish line. Trey got the holeshot, so he had the fastest "first lap", but that lap wouldn't be included in the average because it wasnt a full lap on the track.

So many factors come into play in motocross (I imagine), probably even more in Supercross. Skill, experience, fitness, large testicles, bike setup, reaction time, aggressiveness, etc. And DEFINITELY mental toughness. Lacking in any of these departments will add tenths to your lap times, and suddenly you're in the LCQ every night.

Reed's one of the very best of Supercross, but he spent years finishing third behind Stewart and Carmichael. He said before 2010 he was going to start being more aggressive, and he wrecks himself and JS the second round in.

Windham's issues might be more mental. Houston was his hometown race, wasn't it? The "old man" got the holeshot and was absolutely FLYING before it bit him. Perhaps knowing that was his best chance, he hasn't been the same before or since.

Millsaps? Often one of the fastest in practice, but it seems like you never see him up front early. Starts could be a problem.

For fitness, look at Villopoto. Last year battling with Dungey, this year with Stewart. Dungey's probably somewhat mentally weak with all the doubt surrounding him. You'd think he'd at least be able to stick it to the rookie who he beat consistently last year...nope.

And those are some of the top guys--imagine what's going on below them!

JohnnyOhannah: I just went to amasupercross.com and looked up the official results. They are awarding Stewart 18th! I also just went and looked at the race, and Goerke is further down the track than James when he walked off and Weston Peick was not in the carnage, unless he was a DNS....but it says DNF for him not DNS....and he is 20th. Are they going to award 2 more points than James actually earned there? What the hell? I don't know about Peick, but Goerke clearly went further than James did. Interesting stuff.

B-KR wrote: 8:06pm March 22, 2011

So GuyB of Vitalmx has the word on how Stewart is 18th....and he apparently is OFFICIALLY. A 2 point gift for James. THAT is a gift. They don't get scored until the finish line so in the case several riders don't make it there the scoring reverts back to qualifying times. Who ever thought of this system? If someone else had crashed out of the race 3/4 of the way around the 1st lap Stewart would have been scored ahead of them? Is there a rule against using common sense and eyesight? Or is it when you start relying on computers you forget how to use common sense when something so simple occurs?!!!
