Thoughtfully and patiently dealing with the tough block, and getting around A Ray.

He picked a great night to get good starts.
He's been getting better every week.

Pretty cool that he won with bike graphics that are a tribute to his brothers Air Force plane.

It could have been terrible for A Ray if he had gassed it.

His brother was there also.

I was kinda annoyed at announcers saying he was taking to long to get going again. We saw all night long what was happening to guys rushing, and panicking. They ended up on the ground. If there was ever a race to take your time, and make sure your settled instead of frantically just trying to get moving again last night was it.

Also didn’t we just see a tough block end a guys race not to many weeks ago? Again, maybe that’s not a situation to panic in.

I believe that is his brothers tail wing # for the C17 he flys. And his brothers base name was on the bike as well.

Savatgy had a Navy theme to honor his grandfather.

Tomac appears relaxed and smiling more than ever before. His KX is a stud, and pretty slick that he ran graphics on behalf of his brother. The entire Tomac family seems to be great folks.

It's good to see the maturity in ET3's racing on the 450's. He appears to have learned from the last 2 seasons.

Looks like Eli is feeling alot more relaxed and happy this year. If he keeps that going everyone better watch out, They are going to be racing for second place.
