Had incredible seats.... special thank you to my friends at Wynn and T&M.

* RV2 rides on the edge and has little variation I lap times. I find it amazing his variation is less than calculated/precision riders.
* RD5 was on the gas. Great ride for Dungey
* JS7 was riding like Bubba. He rode with aggression and passion. Beautiful ride... I hope he brings 2014 SX. Damm when Bubba is on it.....
* KROC looked great on the big bike. The track announcer claimed he was on a 350F. I thought it was a 450?
* Tomac did not look comfortable and had a ohhh shit moment on the big double before the 180 turn into the whoops.
* RV's crash live: was scary, at first thought he knocked him self out. Watching wife and dad run out to check him out... gave you chills. Him getting up and giving thumbs up was the moment of the night.
* Moose moto 1..... great ride
* Jokers lane played a big joke on the best two riders. I could easily see how RD5 and RV2 could of missed it. Adds intrigue... thought is was great idea last year. Not sure how I feel bout it this year. Have to wonder if led a milli second distraction in RV... he crashed big one rhythm section after.

Supermini:

* Those young men are unreal. Super talented and love watching them.
* Cannot believe the top 5 riders consistently tripled
* Forkner was not the fastest. But consistently the fastest
* Second year Cantrell had a bad race at MEC
* Mosiman is super fast. Damm he was on it Moto 2

250F

* Awesome ride for the O/A winner, Hampshire. He was on the gas.
* Smith is fast. His crash in Moto 1.... was wild. Off the track a tad... jumps a burn and almost pulled it off. Lucky he didn't hurt himself. Moto 2, Jordan Smith was gone.
* TLD rider, 615 crashed hard. In my opinion, the flagger dropped the ball (he wasn't flagging AFTER he got hit initially).

50cc
* Awesome seeing Third Generation Everts racing and finishing third
* Ferry was on it.... but got caught up in crash in the big double. was this a 2003 MXDN??? Wink

Track:
* The track announcer gal..... bad move going to the crowd and asking them if they think Shorty is going to win moto 3. You got silence because you weren't even in the ball park with your rider choice.
* AWESOME VEGAS track
* Awesome Race
* Awesome Racing
* As you expect, TV didn't do the track or racing justice.


Always a leave a tad early so I can beat the crowd. Looking forward to seeing moto 3

Very impressd with 7 & 5 & 94.
Most of those minis could race the night program at any SX.
It should be called The Joker Starting gate instead of lane.
Wonderinng if my beloved 22 can match top 3 again? Those guys were flying.
All the top guys in 3 races is the way to go. Makes the entire night awesome.
RC and Fro need to race during the intermission and air it. Then RC can burn him on the track too.

Roczen rode awesome, man he could have won this.. He would have been easily 2nd in moto 1 had Wilson not crashed in front of him.
But JS deserves it as well.
RV landed pretty hard on his left arm, I'd be surprised if theres no damage to the shoulder or so :/ Hopefully he's ok for A1...

Besides tonight, when was the last time someone passed RV2 and made it stick?

I can't remember...

Aldon said after the race, and RV's being examined by Asterisk med team that RV had "minor injuries" and would be fine. Wonder how "minor" the "minor" injuries are. Hmmm...

Until you put whoops in, then the minis are out.

i think we learned that KRoc is going to on the money on the 450 , and if everyone stays fit , 2014 is going to be a classic year.
