Jessy Nelson laid down a hot lap. Sitting in first so far with a 2:10.3 which is 1.6 secs quicker than Gasjer.

I read that they are not using the sections of the track that had those near vertical rock walls from the national so any lap time from the GP will be quicker than on national day.

USA defiantly has a home track advantage. most of those guys practice there regularly.

Anstie has ridden there loads of times. I would expect him to do well.

The american fans are in for a shock. These GP guys are core. They don't give a fuck what continent they are on. They do work.

How much different will the bikes the US riders are on be from their natls setups, I remember a few years ago there was different fuel and sound which I believe robbed power. Still the same?

he is the best that had the stones to do it, and fair play for him for stepping up and showing his worth.

Hoping for some good racing tomorrow, been some epic battles this year .

I see a lot of puddles...is that normal for GH after watering?

BTW cali guys, what is the local feeling in allowing GH to use so much water? I'm totally ignorant on the arrangement specific to the track, so it's a genuine question.

It looks like normal watering, it's supposed to get hot today, and super hot tomorrow. And, don't call it Cali!

lots of guys within a second of eachother in the 450s. Looking like a competitive field out there. Ofcourse it's only free practice yet ... Gonna be exciting keeping an eye out on the Live Timing for the Timed practice and Qualification race Smile Great to see some good USA riders attending a gp!!

That track looks amazing. Not a rock in sight. Great job by the Glen Helen crew!
