the original thread was about fast laptimes, didnt realize they had to be under any current rules packages when i was making some comparisons. much like the 132 you said you did at mid ohio , how long ago was that and under what rules package ? too much keyboard racin goin on here , got the real deal to do startin in the a.m. have a good one gerry

i never said pagram or ryan were doing under 127. our testing times are generally always faster than race times do to being able to make more set up changes than time at a race allows. you need to look thru the ama archives for laptimes so you will be better informed .ck the spies/ mladin era for 1;23 1;24 pretty sure hayes did 125 last year , pegram is not the benchmark. he is chasing the the aliens as we are. also ryan went out and earned his superbike license in a couple weekends this spring by accumulating the required 600 points running expert races . no eligibility changes or guessing , just hard work and dedication. and be clear last years mid ohio round was the worst track conditions ever, on tues they sealcoated 1/2 the corners on the track and sat had off and on rain . ryan and larry have both led ama pro races at mid-ohio and should be touted as local heros for leading the best competition their respective sports have to offer. they are heroes in my book !

in fact 1;30 on 600 spec tires and the fast 1000 times at mid ohio are 1;25 and under on spec tires in the days of open tires they ran in the 1;23 un disputable facts

where can i see results and laptimes for nelson , nothing on mylaps or motoseries website. thanks

cable / dish /( online ?)

nice , great news

untill cbs / ama does a release stating so, it is the same rumors we have heard for months. don't get me wrong its a great package, but not real till it comes from the horses mouths. there has not been live ama roadracing coverage , except for daytona since the 90's.so what a huge step in the right direction. i know live tv would help our program dramatically. it is something we can actually sell.

brian, well, whats the scoop on the panni-g wasnt putnam this past weeekend? looking to here your impressions

you would be suprised how stock the bikes are in supersport and dsb. frankly superbike is very watered down compared to the exotics of the 1990's. and the showroom bikes are very good these days to the point that an ama pro with some skills can take a showroom bike, add some tires and and could just about make the qualifiing cut in ss, dsb

you will feel the load as you lock chain in place should be a casual one handed action, anymore than that and you are transfering the weight to places you dont want it

just cut off to length with cut off wheel / chop saw, and drill holes where needed , any machine shop can drill for you. i did it at home, slow and steady . our old 24 footer had same problem. also for your next purchase dont get the round bar stlye, they are old school and really are not the hot set-up , but they will work .

but how many seconds back ?( the ducs) dovi 's enthusism couldnt keep him in the lead group , nicky will ride safe and the rest will be 10 sec back ,including spies, and he will tired quickly of being on his head like rossi did. if lorenz was on a honda he would never be beaten , the only thing he is missing is that honda engine package. i dont think a duc will win a moto gp race in the next 3 years. had alot of talent on them with lackluster results . sadly i think it will be the end of nicky's career this year.

looks as though the truth is out about the duc, same old placings too bad for nicky , he deserves more. the doc still has something for the young guns

obviously a race team would have a poor ROI but why not support the series by being a broadcast partner, which at the same time would not amount to much more in costs than a media /commercial assault would cost . franlky it would not cost anymore than the money they are spending at the cheesecake stuff they do at the indy round and i am sure they will do at cota. those are two races in a series they already have a huge presence in and a european based series. not where they are making their profits. so apparently the u.s. buyers are paying the bills for european racing series and yet those same customers do not have any support from said oem to help in the survival of racing in their own back yards. maybe the u.s. customers need to wake up and smell whats cookin

not to pick at you brian, but why does ducati who is a oem who sells mostly all sport /adventure bikes and has made record profits and record sales in the u.s. in the past few years, not step up as all the other oem s have in the past, and foot the bill to get ama pro racing on tv. heck it would be nice if they would even support pro racing in any form in the u.s. . their amatuer contingincy is applaudable but in reality they know they are not going to pay much out since there are not too many on the grids to begin with. if they had some presence in the ama paddock or on tv they might be able to re-juvinate the old win on sun , sell on monday. but they seem to be content in taking profits but not giving back to the u.s. racing community. the other oem 's have more than given their fare share over the years. frankly bmw is no better or maybe worse , they too are reaping huge sales in the u.s. and not spending much to do it. what insight can you give as a dealer rep on these questions. i guess my thinking is if they do not want to step up and be part of the solution , then they are just another one of the problems.

so close:p

well thats once today

i sense a little dis-pleasure with the nascar channel
