Did they show Alessi frame the triple and pass out/get knocked out? Rolled to roller, slowly slumped over his handle bars and tipped over.

Phil rode like a mad man in the 250 heat to come back from last after a crash on the first lap to make a last lap banzai pass where he shoved it in on Mchonahey who had a choice to land on Phil or the tuff blocks. He went to the tuff blocks and crashed out of contention. Nicoletti went on to qualify.

Did they show Bowers' bike die and him pull off the track, throw it on the ground, and basically storm off into the pits? He looked pissed. I know i would be in that situation.

Did they show Hansen forget to turn right in turn 3 and basically pile drive the bales? Also him give up on lap 3 in the LCQ and pull off into the pits? I don't blame the guy for being frustrated.

Did TV show the opening ceremonies at all? Roczen came out and tried to do a wheelie down the start straight but failed and only popped it like 3 inches off the ground.

A few other things happened but i can't recall.

Huge crowd and full seats.
More hot promo models than ever.
Lots of cool new gear.
Riders thought the track was easy.
Bmx dirt jumps were a huge hit.
Deano parked off by himself under the big A
Erv tribute was nice.
Opening ceremonies seemed shorter!?!?
Track was dusty.
Great opener!

1). A1 was SOLD OUT -PACKED TO THE GILLS. Been a while. Nice.

2). The first set of rider intros were shorter making it move along nicely. Spent a tad more time on the top guys. Just seemed to flow better

3). They forgot "rockets red glare" and "bombs bursting in air" fire works. LoL. Not sure if that was intentional.

4). The leader board didn't work all during practice.

5). All races were timed. Not just the mains. Wen't smooth as silk.

6). Track looked very hard to pass on. Maybe three turns provided passing.

7). Missed Erv. The tribute was nice. The new guy did a good job.

8). Terry Boyd is rounder. (He is not the new announcer)

9). Pike looked XL but was a force on the track.

10). KR's bike looked to be the best handleing bike out there.

11). Someone paid Hanny an old debt.

12). Pourcel went down hard in his heat's first tun. Glad to see him get up.

13). Canard had a nasty case during practice. Glad he got up.

Paid Hanny an old debt? Did they wipe him out or just muscle him off track?

As soon as the race was over RC, Emig & Ralph Sh-heen changed and bolted over to the county fairgrounds for a Stryper, Enuff-Znuff, White lion and Fire house concert.

I got this picture in the elevator going down from the bcast booth.

Tate Reed saying "number 22, my dad, Chad Reed" easily the coolest moment of the night for me.

I actually think this is a good idea for a weekly thread/feature.
