I dont think Stewart has ridden his YZF in the mud at all. I wonder if that could present a problem for him. Or maybe it doesnt matter because he is riding awsome lately.

You're right.

Could be a huge problem for Reed too. He hasn't raced his RMZ in the mud yet.

Same for RV. He hasn't raced a 450 in the mud yet.

Same for MA. He hasn't raced his RMZ 450 in the mud after his horrific injuries and crashes yet.

Same for KW. He hasn't ridden the EFI Honda in the mud in February of 2009 yet.

Same for . . .

This is gonna be a difficult night.

I think Reed rode the mud in Aussy land for one of his supercross races.

Yeah, but he has never ridden it in the mud in Anaheim in February of 2009 so, anything could happen. This is his first time doing that.

3rd, it was in the man v man races, he lost his semi final to Jay Marmont straight up, then he raced mcgrath in the consolation for 3rd and 4th, Reed tried to pull a Nac Nac over the triple and crashed, still beat Mcgrath though..

Let us not forget the ever prevalent yet sometimes overlooked rule, "that mud is the almighty equalizer."

He better get on the phone with Crash82 and R-acer to get some suggestions on his suspension setup.

Yeah, they never water down their practice track to practice in the mud. I know RC never did. And they never, ever practice during the week if it's raining. Never!

But the point is, they've never ridden in round 6 of the supercross series at Anaheim in February of 2009.

It's kinda like this:

I know you've practiced in the mud before, but have every practiced in the mud . . . on weeeeed man?

True. It's different riding in the mud at your own track or whatever, compared to riding a track where theres been like 3 practice sessions, 4 ehats, 2 LCQ's and 2 finals. Nothing can prepare you for how the track will turn out.

While I don't think there will be standing water like at Daytona '08, I do know that Chad's bike was not properly prepared for that race.

Hopefully L & M had learned from that race and will apply the proper water/mud counter-measures.

I imagine all the principals have ridden more mud races in their lives than any of us have ridden races of any kind...

The bike was preped fine. He used the clutch to much to to carry momentum and it wore the clutch out and so he reved it even more to keep the clutch from slipping at low rpms and that was the end.

If Chad would have calmed down a bit he would have won that race.

Actually, he was sucking watery mud through the airbox, as evident by the water shooting out of his exhaust. True, he may have also fried his clutch, but the water probably caused a valve problem. You could see a flame shoot out of his exhaust right before the engine finally quit.
