I tried to look at the practice times for A1 to see how he compared to the 450s....unfortunately the link isn't working, but I think his times were good enough for top 5, as were Dungey's. I don't think he'd be much slower on the 450...

What ever he does, it will make the race more interesting. I hope he does well.

I wonder how many 450 guys have been waiting to put this guy over a berm? He won't be pushing anybody around in this class.

Fast enough for top 5, but he'll have troubles early. 11th place

Weren't the top 9 positions filled by factory riders last week in the 450 class? If that's right then i would say that he will have his hands full with all of those guys. So maybe a 10th if he qualifies and finishes the race.

People that say his riding style fits the 450, i am not so sure that's true cause on the 250 he kind of hangs off the back like his hands are duct taped to the bars, a little out of control sometimes, not really a KW kind of rider. I think that a 450 will really take its toll on him in race conditions. Those who race know what I'm talking about, its lots tougher in a race than at the practice track or racing amateurs at local tracks..

12th if he finishes. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone punts him to say" welcome to the big boys".

IF he does not crash I think he will be top 5. My moto brothers are under-estimating J-Law's speed and talent on a bike. That guy hauls.

Depends on whether his Parole Officer lets him race. If so then maybe DNQ or DNF. If he does qualify and finish than maybe 12th.

I think he will get for sure top 10. I think it is interesting that his goal is a top 5 because he knows the lap times and how he compares to some of the other riders. Maybe he can get that.

His riding the 450 class has already been a success.........It gave everyone something new to post about this week rather than 19 "Reed must win" threads and "Stewart will beat himself" posts
