Actor Leonard Nimoy , aka Mr. Spock from the original Star Trek , has passed away at the age of 83 . One of my favorite lines of all time on TV was when Captain Kirk asked , " Spock , are you out of your Vulcan mind ? ".
Live long and prosper .
Last turn before the finish could get interesting ; fairly long straight into a hairpin and it looks like maybe a little kicker coming out of it to the inside ?
I'm going with :
Canard
Dungey
Bagget
Bogle
Musquin
Martin
Just saw on evilbay that Steve McQueen's first Husqvarna is up for sale - $200k buy it now . It's a 1968 that Bengt Aberg raced and won on and Steve bought it on the spot .
Pourcel is on the 250 roster for fantasy sx . Anybody know if he is really gonna race ? Couldn't find anything in searching but I'm a computer neanderthal .
I think Bowers is the only 250 rider whose ears fit outside his hat . Can't tell about Malcom though with his " Predator " do . If Webb waxed those couple of chest hairs he would be even lighter ! Noticed that even Canard in the 450s was shorter than the trophy chics but he is kind of stocky ...
Canard clicked off laps like a machine , few mistakes . His pass on Roczen looked similar to his infamous pass attempt on Reed that turned to crap. Good thing Kenny didn't decide to cut down . Don't think he could have made a pass stick on Trey no matter how many laps there were .
Couldn't...
Anybody know if Davalos is in or out ? He raced 2 weeks ago but not last week I think . He is listed on the san Diego roster in the Fantasy SX and I didn't see anything about him in the injury report .
I thought Broc Hepler was going to rewrite some record books until injury stole his career . Reminded me of David Bailey in more ways than one .
J-Law ?
I'm with you on Dungey and the flat sweeper type corners . Reed is fast in those too ( or was ) .
I'd like to see a start 7 feet lower than the track . Let 'em launch at a wall and then flat land . How about a whoop-sweeper ? Maybe a " Jackass " lane that cuts off half the track but you have...
Yep , " Never-another-championship , nonaggressive , candy-ass " Dungey looked pretty friggin impressive out front to me . Might have been even more impressed with Seely's ride and Tomac's determination . Is Roczen into his " slump " already ? Everybody was kicking around quite a bit through the...
A block pass is when you cut across a turn and pivot in the person's line you are trying to pass . You have to almost stop to make the pivot but it blocks the other guys line and they grab enough brakes to keep from hitting you ( or run into you with their front wheel which often causes them to...
That was some good racing even though I didn't think much of the track ( liked the sand section ) . All the parity ( along with some adversity ) is destroying my mx fantasy results =) .
Short is a tough SOB , got another holeshot and hung on to the lead quite a while despite the injury . Tickle...
How about Andrew Short ? His crash looked bad and after a nice holeshot too .
I'm off the Reed bandwagon also . Originally didn't like him but thought that the team ownership , etc. had matured and changed him . Guess not . Short is now my " old man " hero . Wish Larocco was back in the game ...
I'm thinking :
1. Canard
2. Roczen
3. Dungey
With the class being stacked and most everyone healthy it is going to be extra tough for a lot of racers that made the night show last year to even see the gate of a main .
LOVE the 250's as...
KTM 200 with a Rekluse(sp?) clutch a buddy had was pretty awesome in mud , slick rooted hill climbs , about anything off road . Light ( like a 125 ) , nimble , fast , with plenty of grunt .
