Main is going to be close to 25+ min, that's why JA21 was pissed.
20 minutes + 2 laps would be pretty close to what they will end up doing

Edit: I'm an idiot

Ronnie Ford's (Two-stroke guy) best lap is currently 40 seconds slower than Ryan Dungey's...23 seconds slower than the guy who's one spot faster than him...

Where is all the J-Mart haters? To be honest I was thinking he had 10th place speed. Has anyone ever won their first premier class supercross start? I think Josh Grant might have, there may be a lot I dont know, but it would be cool to see him win!

Is he the slowest rider ever that have been "trying" to get in to the races?

Is there anyone somewhat objective that has actually seen him ride all these rounds who could give us an idea how it looks? Because being 23 seconds slower than the second slowest rider is very, very slow.

I really don't want to say it but i would like to think that there are weekend warriors here that would have the same speed or even better?

I don't think people question his speed, it's been his starts that have killed him in SX.

I don't understand the Ronnie ford thing. Who is he? Is he just a funny guy that rides 2 strokes or what?

I don't think anyone hates him. I think most would agree that the SX season has been a shit show for him, and given him justified critique. With that said, he has been way better than i thought in these practices. I was also thinking that he would have 7-10th place speed.

But it's the main event that counts.

I'm still predicting 13th place for him in the main.

I've seen him in person at two of the rounds and he looks as bad as his numbers are. He's legally and technically qualified to be there but he really shouldn't be on a supercross track with real pros. He'd be a mid pack junior rider at a local race. He wouldn't win the 40 pro/A class here at a local event.

Not too many would have expected that it must be KRs bike Laughing good to see him in the mix.
Seb Tortelli ?

I'm not sure if you need some device to stream from your TV but you have a little less than 3 hours to get it figured out :D.

Hell of a qualifying position for jerry robin. Very cool. That would be really cool of him to have a good race in honor of Dylan Slusser. Pullin for ya, Jerry!

Just noticed he's running Dylan's number, too. That's awesome!

For the most part the entire C practice needs more practice. It's freaking scary watching some of these guys. While Ford is being made an example, there are a lot of guys that for their own safety need to improve their speed and technique.

It's like watching the first couple episodes of American Idol, some can sing, others can not. The difference being you don't end up in a wheelchair if you don't hit the right note at the microphone.

Yeah I'm not sure if that would work or not.

On a different note is anyone else having trouble submitting your picks for RMFantasy? Say's there's 2 hours left but when I click submit it says the time is up.

Hah not true I deal with PKI, Encryption, 2 factor authentication, Anti Virus, Carbon Black Protection, firewall and VPN, Active Directory, SCCM, etc etc. This is something I just never got into and is new to me and sounds like a fun project!
