Mark 3rd fastest.

Ronnie only 17 sec faster than KTM JR SX

As much as I hoped he would make the night show it doesn't look like he's even close.

Just to offer some perspective on Mr Ford. He was roughly 32 seconds slower than the fastest qualifier and only 16 seconds faster than the best time in the KTM JR SX practice. He shouldn't be out there.

No thanks, tried to stick up for a guy chasing his dream and got hammered for it. Ronnies a good hard working dude and I just thought I'd let people know. Boy was I stupid. I'll sit this one out while you guys consume yourselves, have racing/riding trips to plan.

When I first saw this I was pretty happy that someone was trying to qualify on a 2 stroke. When I found out the gentleman was in his 40s I was pretty amazed. I really wanted to get behind this.

After A1 is was clearly evident that he does not belong on a SX with the best. He is going to get himself seriously hurt or someone else. Huge liability.

After seeing the lap times of SD I can't believe the AMA has not pulled him. I really hope they stop this madness if he does not have the sense to stop himself.

The 50s are running the whole track. I just timed one who is about 13 seconds slower than Mr. Ford's best laptime.

Yep. I'm wrong. I believe they have skip sections before and I figured they'd have to of been if they were that close to Ronnie in times.

He will get better. People are always entitled to their opinion, but that doesn't make them correct.

It looks like Ronnie Ford is in for A2. Hopefully he picks up a little speed this week.

I hope it's a sloppy mess so no one can jump the big jumps and he makes the night show.
If he has the balls to keep at it, I wish him the best.
I hope he takes the online sht talking with a grain of salt, since the bungholes on here will talk crap on every rider anyhow.

No way this dude makes 17 rounds. He either hurts himself, or causes another rider to get injured resulting in the loss of his SX license.
Here's a topic for a new thread. Has anybody ever had their SX license pulled?

Guy totally doesn't belong out there. That said--how HILARIOUS would it be if A2 was a total mudder for the ages where EVERYTHING had to be rolled and this dude not only made a night show, but somehow made a main and finished ahead of some top names?! Would be so damn funny. The vital servers would crash.

Funny
This guy may not be fast enough but
He and his 2 stroke went to a AMA Supercross and lined up for practice
Has a license and rode in Angels stadium
And all I have been able to click off on my bucket list is buy a ticket
Get my bags searched
And park my ass in the seat

Yes, riders have had their cards pulled during qualifying. ML gave an example a page or so back

I'll go back. I thought this was the same thread from A1, with an edited title. I didn't start from the beginning. Thanks

I hope ML, himself, is not the example.lol
