Suzuki's Tuff Block caused problems on almost every start!! WTF? Who is the idiot who came up with that idea for placement? Maybe its Suzuki doing. They should be fined for each botched start!!!

Seriously, never seen one tuff block placement consistently cause that many problems .... but they just kept putting it back in the same spot. idiots

Myself and Aaron plessinger informed them of that tuff block before the restart to the 250 main and they moved it but then moved it back before we took off. It was about 4 feet out of far and was guaranteed to catch someone's bike every time. Guess they knew better than us

Thats what I saw too. Idiots. The 450s I think Webb's foot peg caught it causing the carnage. For how important the starts are for you guys, dont need THAT sitting there ready to cause problems .... idiots!

It was. He got caught behind a few who crashed because of it and just decided to ride over it.

Cant believe they didn't move it. It was in the way on every start. It cost Dungey massively.

They knew it was an issue going all the way back to practice/qualifying. Poor management from the AMA and Feld.

I agree. It was way too far out there on that sharp of a pivot turn. Bad track management.

when a championship race is this close going into the home stretch, and it hasn't really been in years, they want a little more drama to keep spectators on the edge of their seats..

I don't know about all that but it was so obvious it was going to be a problem, and such an easy fix, you have to wonder why they didn't just fix it.

First turn crashes make for good TV, and that is more important to them than rider safety or a good clean race.

Of course they knew that tuff block would cause problems, I'm sure they counted on it.

As a reminder, this is a company that operates a circus after all...

Tickle has touched on this before, he feels it's disrespectful to challenge a guy that's coming from the back, running faster times, who's inevitably gonna make the pass(end of race doesn't count). That's part of the reason Tickle got so angry at Bambam. IMO it goes to show the level of respect Tick has for his competition and his sport.

That's a pretty odd way to look at the world for a racer tho.

Wasn't trying hijack the thread and didn't want to waste the internet airspace! Lol but anyway I thought it be fitting since this post was on topic of Suzuki..Tickle is racing and getting paid by RCH to race and try and win races not pull over for Dungey..That was for a position not to be lapped and he simply pulled over! It is strange way of thinking if your a racer! Milsap made Dungey earn it and he is riding a KTM! Smh

Don't you mean "operated" a circus? Feld shut the circus down.

Excellent point. You know this might be a conspiracy from The Suzuki Corporation. But the fact that Tickle is willing to let a faster rider by (and he is not EVEN a lapper!) weakens that theory. Fuck It!! The AMA should just fine everybody $5000 and 5 points (including Suzuki Corp, and its Trouble Maker Tuff Block) and that will fix this whole god dam mess!!!

Fine & penalize Ralph and Fro too, those guys missed Tomac"s crash!!
