Didn't have any problem with the track but I think they should change the name from SX to SUX.

Only a couple guys didn't mail it in. RV stamped why he runs the big Red #1.

The track was shit. It could have been awesome. Lots of potential that the track guys let go to shit.

The 250 West was a little upsetting for me.

Clockwise tracks always seem to be worse for racing.

Some people just don't like Motorcycles or racing and need to try something else.

You could have been home watching it on TV. Then you would know how bad the show was too. I was super disappointed. Half the show was racing and the rest was commercials and infomercials. I really 'get-it' that the factories pay for their riders to get air time, but I thought it was way over board last night. They finally gave the rest of the field a little air time when the race for the lead got boring. Sad Huh

What's up with Chris and Vegas? He always does so well there! He put in a lot of great results this year with next to no support.

One thing about the race last night.. I know it has always been this way but... I looked at the clock before the mains had started and I am very 'aware' of time zones.. 1AM EST and we hadn't even gotten to the mains. I am PST so of course it doesn't bother me, but the west coast races sure keep you guys up late.

What's up with Chris and Vegas? He always does so well there! He put in a lot of great results this year with next to no support.
To start....Chris has spent a lot of time in Vegas the last few years. He has a bunch of local support up there and the track surface is much like Phoenix where he grew up riding. Chris has really matured this year. He started his own program this season with help from family, friends and a few loyal fans. Until San Diego he rode what he had, a 2012 Honda (most people did not know this). He had no private mechanic. Chris called ahead to a local Honda Shop and borrowed a certified Honda mechanic from which ever city he was racing in to help at the track for most races. His rental car served as his pit area. No luxury accommodations for this guy for sure. I doubt many riders would have done what Chris did this year. Unsure Smile Thank you for asking.

Clearly despit all the information given on Vital ,some people just don't understand that if you complain about anything to do with a race you are an asshole.

Read your memos people, everything is perfect.

Only race of year I couldnt stay awake for. Went to bed after the 250 mains. If thats the only race I thought was boring then thats pretty good in my book.

With what I saw last night in those 250 mains, Im really looking foward to the 250 class outdoors. Nice to see the Yamaha guys step up, Wilson and Hill continue to go fast, the region champs Anderson and Bogle and the addition of Pourcel and Bagget should make for a lot of different podiums in the small bore class.

First, the track didn't settle "championships"...it settled a championship.

Second, why do you hate your life?
