after reading his monday conversation on racer x, i think it couldn't have come at a better time. coming off a suspension, and last week not being able to race, and then hearing him say in the rx interview he's "running out of money", would lead me to believe he really, really needed something good to happen. he even said at the beginning of the year that he was funding the team and it had to be successful, or else. racers, even very talented ones, are forgotten in milliseconds. the old cliche holds true in most cases, that you're only as good as your last race, and right now, jason is good again...anyone remember these guys: tyler evans, billy payne, turbo reif, kim ashkenazi, nathan ramsey. these are guys that were racing in the last two years or year, and you don't remember them unless their names are brought up. shoot even last year, we were talking about guys that STILL ARE racing, like marsack's podium at daytona '08 and preston's fill-in comeback. now, marsack can't make mains and preston is home healing. if you're not friends/family, do you miss them? (ps-i was j/k about ash-can!)

Kim Ashkenazi, 31, jailed for six and a half years at Reading Crown Court on March 17, for possession with intent to supply. He was found with Cocaine with a street value of between £20,000 and £25,000 following his arrest in September 2005.

On 28 April, also at Reading Crown Court, Ashkenazi received an additional sentence of nine months imprisonment, to run consecutively, for possession of indecent images of children. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for 10 years.

Ashkenazi was arrested as part of Operation Harp, which investigates the use of payment cards for accessing web sites known to contain indecent child images. Thames Valley Police executed a warrant at his address in September 2004, where they seized computers which were found to contain hundreds of indecent images of children. During the search, ecstasy tablets, amphetamines and cannabis were also seized. Ashkenazi later pleaded guilty to possession of half a kilo of cocaine with intent to supply while on bail for the above offences.

He needed that result bad enough to cut the track I guess.

Yes, he had it all planned out for everyone to crash, block the first turn and to effectively position himself in just the right spot, in front of an opening in the haybales, at just the proper second, to avoid the incident and divert from the track to avoid the track blockage and incident, then reenter at the first available, safe, reentry point.

Yes, it was all planned

That sneaky bastard

(and damn him for doing it within the rules)

Since JLaw is not in the hunt for the West Lights championship ......does he sack up and finnish out the season on the 450 thus proving his big bike potential to future employers?

I hope he does....makes a much more interesting season.....especially if he can get to where he can run 20 laps at speed giving us 3 potential winners.

i think he would be foolish to go back and do lites now. he's proven he has the speed to run with the big boys, but the only problem i see now is that in order to keep his results up near the front, he's gonna have to train and get fit, and contrary to what he said in his monday conversation, you can't just flip a switch and "get some fitness" in a matter of days. it's going to take a few weeks for him to catch up, and that's only if he's serious. that being said, i also think it will be less strenuous on a normal sx track than it was in daytona, so he may be able to hold on to a position longer, but as far as pushing 20 hard laps, he obviously isn't there yet.

Oh man. What a mess AshCan is! I didn't hear about the kiddie porn....

But not many of us from Oz were surprised about the drug conviction(s)....

we can start a whole thread on successful racers gone wrong, or "what ever happened to?"... ashkenazi would fit right in.

JLaw, needed the result...And I am the first to admit that I never would have believed he could do so.

Again, attrition is part of racing, if you crash, then you are the weaker on that day. At Daytona, Lawrence, was better than everyone, except Chad Reed.

The bottom line is this...One podium, a champion does not make. He needs to string together several podiums, and be consistent.

Big (disposable) money is what it takes to fund JLaw...He has talent, he just needs to dedicate himself...Work now, play later !

(IMO)

Jesus would you guys just let it go and accept the fact that JLaw ran a hell of a race in his first 450 outing!!! I've never seen so much crying over one rider.

Ferry tried to go re-enter at the CORNER and hung up on the tough block. Its very obvious that he felt the direction Jlaw went was not the right thing to do and he didnt follow.
