How often was Daytona decided by a last-lap pass (non-mechanical)? How about pass for the lead with

Well when the norm is high 40s and heats have been cut to 6 laps I'm not surprised.

It's bullshit, but hey, Feld does whatever the fuck they like with this stuff.

Ricky Fatmichal University is taking up too much of his precious time (lunch) so he shortened the track.

Ricky gets paid by the promotion company to do what they want...not what you and I want. Yeah, it sucks...but this is the direction the sport is heading, unfortunatley.

And, 86honda...that's probably the dumbest, most uninformed shit I have ever read posted here. "Fatmichal"? Damn, dude...have a little respect. He could still smoke your slow ass with his hands tied behind his back!!

Pssh Daytona was never tough. The riders have never had to fight off giant fucking snapping turtles with a knife while also saving a beautiful woman from said turtles. Now that's a man's sport. Fucking pussies.

Screw you dude, we may not like that the race was shortened but you have no idea who's fault that is. You read crap one person posted about it maybe having something to do with the amateure race, with no proof to back it up, and you go bashing one of the most respected riders in the sport. If you are going to bash someone, can you guys at least have a valid reason first?

I know the powers probably want us to shut up and take what we get but I feel its always important to questions those powers. If left unchallenged or unquestioned, bad things happen more frequently.

Also think this is the kind of news that should be reported by the MX media like the Racer X website.
Excellent! A++.... THANK YOU!

Oh thats funny, guess someones shutting up about that cut short blow job!!!!

I got you, cut it for TV time, majority wins, I dont, people would rather have it live and cut short then watch tape delay and full race time, no problem

However, if this has anything to do with that amateur Carmichael thing, that is total Horseshit but I am really thinking its more of time alloted for the race on Fox Sports issue.

Longer racing better racing. If the track design makes for some great battles, good on Ricky. I'll save judgement until after the race.

Kinda shitty, I liked seeing a big track, but if the laptimes are still close to the 1:10 mark, I'll be happy. Longer track does make for more spread out racing... so I'll withhold a scathing remark til after the race. But if we get a 52 second Daytona track I'm burning the whole place down.

"Now don't be giving me the Daytona SX version!"


Eehhhh.......I think I will just keep my mouth shut and take whatever I can get and consider myself blessed. Kinda like I do with live SX on TV . It's no BJ.....but it's damn close!

Then everyone bitches that the best race of the year would be 6 1/2 minutes better if they hadn't killed 20 seconds a lap.

And if that is the case, expect 45-50sec lap times.
