@BillC... I still can't believe that you tried to bust my balls for spelling.

When Dungey left the track, my friends cried out "Alessi's gonna get crucified for that". Next lap, Dungey took the same line / same result. Dungey was going for it and left the track, simple.

I like seeing some bar banging. The days of Hannah / Howerton And Kiedrowski / Matesievich (?) / Bradshaw are pretty well gone. We haven't seen that sort of aggression since Bam Bam and he's put it on the backburner. Oh well, still some good racing.


Poor Roczen, the pressure of finishing 7th (?!?!?!) in a moto. What level do you have to be at to be dissapointed with a 7th?
He has Southwick coming up so, possibly a chance for redemption. I'm affraid that if it doesn't happen at the 'Wick, he's going to be waiting for next year outdoors. All told, a great first year on the U.S. tracks considering the troubles euros traditionally have.

I'll say it again, the consistencey of the top 4/5 in the 250F's is just unbelievable!

@BillC-How you doin? Will you be going to Southwick this year? I don't know if you caught this but I had the opportunity to meet BD25 in person at Spring Creek. He is as good a fella as he comes across on line,for sure. Hopin' he comes back next year with a little more time on his hands. Had the chance to see some pics of his track in his front yard that he has been improving on since the 1970's. Yes, it is cool! Only dreamt of having that track, in my yard. Got to chat with him for maybe an hour or so, and was able to show him around a little via my golfcart. And your name came up. So just a reminder, if ya still wanna come next year, I can hook you up. Had a little sign on my cart saying I was Bucky 394 say hi if you know what this means. Thought maybe some of the other Mn. people would see it, like MXBob, but no luck. So at least I met BD and so I can say that I have met at least one person from here. Not exactly sure why that was so important to me but yeah, nice to have met you, BD25. (End of long winded post) you are welcome.

Report

Dragger, they don't count the first partial lap, so from the time they crossed the finish line the first time, Dungey made up time on Alessi.

Report

@handlebardragger answer: When the 2nd place guy starts way behind the first. RD was only .146 sec per lap faster than MA in moto 1.

Anyone else notice BB was faster on average than RD in moto 2, and was over 1.5 sec. faster per lap than Barcia.

BD and BillC- When we were cruising around in the back section, I pointed out where the snowmobile trail comes into the MX park from Millville, then your name came up, BillC. I'll never forget when I asked you if you had sleds and then told you I could hop on my sled and ride to Spring Creek in less than an hour. Your come back was "I can hop on mine and ride to Canada!" You won!! I can't beat that. Well have fun at the wick and dilla. Do something silly so you get on camera! BD- thanks again for the call, will chat again soon. Keep that sledding invite in mind! Hopefully we will get snow this year. Last year sucked, real bad, the year before, we had a pile of snow. Tons. Time will tell.

Report

Oh, yeah, got the pics you sent BD. Thanks again, they were cool! Some good shots.

The AMA needs to wake up and combine the sport at the professional into 1 class (250). These lap times are the proof that 2 separate classes is pointless and is only harming the growth of the sport. Take the top 40 qualifiers, line them up and lets see a race. The idea that the lites racers are the guys getting use to being a professional is completely outdated. Many of these kids have been professionals in all actuality since they were 8 years old.

The manufacturers should be putting their money into progressing the 250f. The 450f is becoming the old 500. It isn't necessary and we simply don't have the talent pool to support 2 classes. Those 20 riders should all be racing against each other and the lap times are the proof.

Report

Bring back the 125 2 strokes. Think about replacing the wmx or doing 6 wmx and 6 125 2 stroke class. I think the racing will be awesome and well supported except for Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda getting upset because they want to sell 4 strokes and sell a shit load of parts to rebuild them.

Report

ride111mph

Agreed ! 450 class or I should say this displacement is just way out there on the ragged edge as far as speed goes.............125 / 250 2 stroke are the way to go.......I think you would get back more of a consumer base with a better priced more forgivable product.....No local level tracks use all that power & speed. Let alone anyone has the balls to open it up for more than 2 seconds anyway before riding the brakes..........put the 4 stroker in the woods

Report

@handllebardragger You asked the question. I understand completely.

9lives-Mr-Mx, 731 chopper & ride111mph, those are some bold ideas.

We're in a depression (oops, I meant to say recession) so, getting ANYTHING done right now is akin to pulling teeth. Towing the line on the status quo will be the order of the day for the foreseeable future.

50 /50 WMX & 125 series? That makes WAAAAY too much sense to be implemented. The only people who don't stand to gain are the ones not producing those machines so, scratch that from the "gonna happen" list.

When the track owners, promoters and sanctioning bodies get on the same page and realize that without them, the manufacturers would have to pony up to bankroll their own series to showcase their product, something they don't want to do (remember the whole dep......uh, recession thing), they will have a new level of co operation from the "big four". In actuality, it's the "big three" 'cause Suzuki is so broke, they are merely along for the ride.

We were at one point very close to having one of the energy drinks bankrolling their own series which, would shake things up pretty good. Accordingly, the "status quo" was up in arms because this would have muddied their water and had less congregation members passing around the plate, clearly something "they" didn't want.

An old helmet law saying is "Let those who ride, decide", in this instance, this means holding a "run what you brung" class and seeing what those that are putting wheels on track and coins in the purses of the power-that-be are most apt to field. Finding the class equilibrium could be done with a boring bar*.

These ideas are so simple in their purpose that, only a legislator could screw them up.

Same here last year Bucky!! Snow sucked!! It was great in the Gaspesie buts thats about it.

An energy drink series would introduce new elements to the show.
Like the Monster "Energy loop the loop"
