Post by KungFooBob »

I was going to put this on the Youtube thread, but it's so awesome it deserves it's own...



Scholtz supermoto stylee overtake at 4:00 is almost as impressive as his slide at 6:44 :)

All three podium finishers fall off earlier in the race.

Brilliant.

I'd love to try a proper set of wets on a properly wet track.

On a bike I don't own.

Impressive, not many of them failed to continue after crashing, maybe the speeds were down and nice big run off areas?

What's the deal with the marshalls? Considering that's the top race series in the US, they're all in trackies, no tabards and seem to run all over the place? Assuming they are marshalls.

Makes the UK marshalls look very professional.

It’s a farce over there everything from the running of it to just everything, it’s a terrible series. Still watch it though.

Pretty much sums up current AMA racing. Couple of fast guys at the front, couple of ex WSB names and the rest are club racer standard with money. On a dry track the front guys normally lap half the field.

Under current BSB rules non of the podium finishers would have rejoined the race as the marshals wouldnt let them. Looked like only one of those bikes even got a quick look by a bloke holding a radio before it was restarted and away again

The rules over there are ridiculous anyway. Can’t remember what weekend it was but Jake Gagne crashed out on lap 1 causing the red flag but because one full lap hadn’t been completed the grid positions for the restart were based on qualifying and he got to restart the race from pole position……..I mean wtf? I went to town with them over that one, fucked me off big time!

If one lap had been completed everyone would have started from their position in the race at the end of lap 1 but the person who has caused the red flag would have had to start from the back of the grid, or even someone who has crashed would be back of the grid for the restart. What a joke! Cunt went on to win another one. Piss take!
