Was that RC out there on his Suzuki? I swear the guy could top 10. I know Bagget is #4, but it looked like the jersey said RC on the back of it.
4:04 you can see "RC" on back of jersey and by riding style....RC stamp it

He looks like he belongs out there. Would be cool to see him race Daytona. Obviously he’s in riding shape and slimmed way down.

No specs on pit road. Only on track and no the shole length and they put up metal barriers to keep the crowd back. However one year rj hampshire almost took me out. Came through the fence and took the guy out in front of me.

Track looks awesome but they need to fix the landing on the big triple. That’s ridiculous to have such a tiny round landing like that. The one that RC over jumped and bottomed out and tomac slid out on after he landed.

Other than that looks good but an absolutely awful landing to that jump. Just awful and dangerous and unnecessary.

The first whoop pad is right after that, so they cut that section off. That turn was greasy. Laughing

EDIT quoted wrong post, but yeah the landing is a little short.

Pretty sure it's basically a HEP bike. Could be wrong though.

Man there is going to be some bar banging going on there. The first lap that tight sand section will be chaos. Woohoo

I know it would never happen but RC could easily still make the night show I think. 10-15th finish

Reed is still making mains half assing it. No doubt in my mind if rc put his head down he could top 10.

Yeah, it's Kyle's bike that they put plastics-graphics on.

So props to RC for sending it on a borrowed bike that's completely different to his normal setup haha
