Lastnight's main started as possibly one greatest races ever until the crash which I think Chad had a lot more to do with it than you think by the "Smirk" he had during the post race interview. He and that Suzuki looked good though and no one can deny that, but that whole sequence reminded me of Toronto and the RC/Stewart crash at Unadilla. I think it could've been avoided on Chads part...

I think that the smirk may have had a lot more to do with getting in a wreck and still finishing on the podium. But you are right that nobody can deny that he has the speed to run with Bubba. At least so far.

A couple more weeks of Reed owning Bubba and Lenny's retard stink bait will just turn into "EAD's.

I believe Chad was happy because a third was as good as a win for his points race with JS. We watched the replay over and over and it was obvious that Bubba made a mistake and checked up for some reason while Reed was already committed to powering out of the corner. Too bad for both of them but JS and KW were the big losers on the deal.

Just like a car wreck, the guy in the rear is always at fault. Whistling

What's that old adage? Don't follow?

Well, he's either smirking or pouting. Those are the only two "looks " he has.

But, I respectfully disagree about his role in the crash. It didn't look like there was much he could have done.

Why does it have to be stink bait , because you can't understand it?, maybe Reed was a little too impatient, he was behind, I'm sure he saw where James was making mistakes, you could see it was more than a missed shift that he was pissed about...

Yup, and it's probably 14s fault Bubba pushed his bike in front of him too. LOL

Exactly, just like when RC cut over in front of James at Unadilla, yet James took all the heat for that. Chad should've been a little more patient...

Bubba isn't pissed off at Reed, he's pissed off at himself.

1) Chad came ready to fight.
2) I believe Chad the fastest laptime of the night.
3) If James' carburetted bike had started, he might still have won.

Nobody can say shit unless they were one of the riders, it was not on purpose even Stewart agreed.

Yeah it was turning into an awesome race- but James lost momentum and Chad nailed him. I think Bubba was lights out for a second or two. I was concerned about his neck when I first saw the crash. It was just a racing thing.

Of course he did, what was he supposed to say?...Since when did missing a shift automatically allow the guy in the back to take you out?...

Well, we can pretty much say whatever we want, we are entitled to an opinion.

But I do agree with you, it was not done on purpose.

be very careful there....people here wont understand 'respectfully disagree' or anything as logical as your post. Here's a translation:

from:

But, I respectfully disagree about his role in the crash. It didn't look like there was much he could have done.

to:

STFU. You have no idea what you are talking about. Stewart cut him off.

Now you may get lots of angry replies from guys like R-acer and co. Fans of riders rather than fans of racing. The kind of people who will create 10 page threads on how much their favorite rider is going to smoke your favorite rider....taken to the level of actually insulting the riders.

You might even get banned for such a logical response. You better reply and boo another rider to redeem yourself...

I think I'm done now Smile

well I agree with you about Unadilla. Even thought that crash wasn't JS's fault he ended up with the worst of it, just like last night. The kid really can't catch a break

Very good point, that could have been a flagger pushing JS bike off the track with no safety equipment on to protect them. You don't blitz a whoop section under a yellow flag, Kevin was trying to benefit as much as possible from the crash and could have easily slowed and not hit James. It was clear that James had birdies flying around his head and thats why there is a yellow flag to protect downed riders.

The crash between JS and Reed was just racing and like others have pointed out, a good reason not to follow.

As far as Reed is concerned he had a great night and may have won the championship last night. So he should be happy.

been there, done that. Besides, Lenny and I are buds. You, on the other hand, I don't know from Adam and are fair game at the first idiotic comment. So mind your manners.

surely you heard Ralph say you can't win the C-ship at A1, but you can lose it. He only said it, 3 or12 times

Chad looked great, and even pulled out an almost 2 sec lead, where did James make that time up to make the repass?..
