...but he is the 250cc points leader, and you can ride along on a lap of the Thunder Valley circuit.

Maybe it's just the perspective of the camera, but that track looks awful narrow... I've never seen it in person though...

That track is hosting a national tomorrow? YIKES! It looks like my local track...I hope (I'm sure) it's spruced up for tomorrow!

Just the perspective and that the alternate lines haven't formed. Looks pretty normal to me. Aside from the small changes they've been doing, it's along the lines of what it's always been since the Nats have been going there.

Baggett and the rest of the boys might want to start preparing a little more for these GoPro laps because I understand something may be in the works with one of the brands and a certain fan favorite that might be a game-changer....

Red Arrow on his way out? This could be the beginning of the end.

On his way out? Man, that's how bad rumors get started. Don't you read Matthes' stuff? If anything Red Arrow deserves a ride. The guy has been killing it, both indoors and outdoors, all year long. He's not complaining about the weather, or the altitude, or lappers or really anything. The guy is a machine...

Onboard cameras are coming, but that's still a ways down the road. In the meantime, I just hope Red Arrow catches a break. I don't want him to end up like Pac-Man, woulda-coulda-shoulda and all that. If he slips through the cracks, it will be a cyber crime.

Bitchin video. Bike sounded like it was struggling. What a cool round. Love the fact that the altitude is such a factor. Plus, there are legit hills on that track.

Not to worry. The air up there makes the bikes way thinner, or something like that.......

I talked to Red Arrow's cousin, Golden Apostrophe - at Steel City last year - he claims Red Arrow is balking at doing the

outdoors, wants an indoors - only contract, better equipment, etc...

* Psst, Randy Lawrence has dumped Red Arrow, he's allegedly leaning Aldon's way, too - claimed blue hyphen.
