IMO the biggest difference we are seeing in Chad is that he is HAPPY, on and off the track, and a happy Chad is a dangerous one to all his competitors.

Just got back from practice. The first section after the start straight is the difference between Windham & Reed's times vs. RV, Stewie and RD. I only saw Windham, Reed, Millsaps and Izzi do this. Those 4 are going triple, double and it's what's separating Windham and Reed from RD, RV and Stewie. I was shocked that RV and Stewie didn't try it, I know they saw Windham and Reed hit it. Kinda funny the two "old" dogs are doing something that RV, RD and Stewie won't try. I was really impressed with Izzi, he was on it although he had a really funny crash when he went up high in a turn and tipped over. Based on what I saw at practice, if Reed gets the holeshot and is able to go triple double after the first turn he's going to run off and hide and the rest of the boys are fighting for second.

Reed and Stewart started jumping the longer whoop section in two jumps...Crazy. Stewart jumped really far into the sand too. K-dub has a gnarly transfer tonight. Jumping from the face of the second triple to the landing of the finish.

Not sure how i feel about this. Reed's usually 3-5th fastest in practice, and will then be 1st-2nd fastest on the night show....What does this mean when he's already the fastest in practice?

He might have problems tonight or he will just level the competition!

Is it still the case that the fastest 450 qualifier has yet to win?

Rest assured that all the fast guys are talking back at their trucks about who was doing what out there. Also, rest assured that the heats will allow everyone a chance to do what they want to, or keep things in their back pockets if they want to hold onto some cards.

If chad was on any other bike than that Factory Honda he would be maybe top 5. The bike is making him better than he ever has and it's sad to see riders with more talent waste it on shity bikes.

Reed has never done this good ever till he got on those honda's...........
