So you don't have a problem with McElrath expressing his opinion about religion every chance he gets, but you have a problem with us expressing our opinions about him doing so? Just trying to understand your logic here.

Bashing ones personal beliefs is probably what he has a problem with. I dont see Shane up there making fun of people who aren't religious. He's better than that. You on the other hand are not better than that. It just blows my mind you dont have something better to be offended about. Now it's your turn to try and backpedal and say you're not offended and blah blah blah.

I'm not bashing him because of his personal beliefs, I'm bashing him because 130,000 Americans have died from a virus and meanwhile Shane is constantly talking about how God is helping him win a fucking motorcycle race...

That is some next-level delusion, which he is welcome to believe. But if he's gonna talk about it every time he gets in front of a camera then I'm gonna talk about how dumb it is.

Also, gotta love how I'm the "offended" party when y'all are the ones reacting like this to what I've said... GuyB talking about banning any talk of religion or politics and I'm the offended one??
Soo since theres a virus going around that means he can't take 3 seconds to thank god? Come on man. You're one of the few who really cares. I'm not religious at all but it makes me laugh how much it upsets about 10 people around here.

Lol, I'm not upset by it. I joke on him for it, and then people like you get upset about what I say.

They said after the sighting lap, Shane pulled into Chase's gate and Chase was like WTF?! Then Chase had to go pick another gate.
If true...that's some low level BS!

This is all Karma for stringing Pulp along on the bike test and then pulling the rug out from under them. And then banning Will from going on the show, there is some pettiness going on over there...

I don't watch the TV shows, so I don't hear it. But if I rode as fast as those guys do, I'd want to think that there's someone watching over my shoulder. It's their personal belief, and I think that people who mock them for it in a forum are just being...well, rather shitty. Especially, when in a context like, "...praying really hard to be the one god chooses to win the title this year lol."

That said, it's also why I don't allow people to talk politics or religion in Non-Moto. I may bring that rule over here, too. Consider it a warning shot.

Red Flags...
Restarts...
All the ranting aside.

Am I the ONLY ONE that watched Chase HAND THE LEAD TO SHANE...?
(After the RED FLAG...After the restart...)

And, as a Shane fan, I saw Shane was not able to run away from Chase.

I'm just keepin' it real. Grinning

Not cool bashing another person's beliefs, no matter what they are.... I don't believe in a god, but I know enough that there just might be one.... So you do You, and let others do themselves... Unless you want people harping on you for own personal beliefs... You rail on Shane for pushing personal beliefs on us, yet here u are doing exactly the same.... Chill and let chill....

In a nut-shell...

"The other-guys (Star) are gonna do whatever they're gonna do and at the end of the day I'm just gonna race.
Period.
I felt...I knew...I had them covered. I wanted to prove that by racing...by WINNING the Shootout.
I'm going to the HRC 450, now, and I can't believe how lucky I've been to get that deal.
Kenny is my team-mate!
That is TOO COOL!
I just want to race & prove myself.
That ain;t gonna be easy on the 450 against "those guys"; but, I'm gonna give it everything I've got."

pumped for Sexton's Transition this summer...



Taking the leap now... i bet he is a 4-8 guy this summer..


the Honda 250 doesnt make power how he likes to ride.. put that star motor in his honda and hes gone by 20 seconds at the shootout.

He will be a GOOD 450 rider IMO.. the Revver's hardly ever work out in the 450 class. i think he will be better outdoors on a 450, but SX is gonna be questionable no doubt.. thats a lot more power on the same tight tracks...

That heat race is totally overlooked by the big crash and now the fuelgate scandal. I think that was the most impressive part of the night. no ones talking about how far and fast chase caught those guys. He left nothing on the table and stamped his 250 class legacy regardless...

Wil is not banned from the show. he refuses to answer the phone now when steve calls him on monday nights, or is under team orders not to go on the show. They have tried for many weeks to get him to come back on, its on him, not Steve.

How was Shane allowed to take the gate Chase had picked, isn't that illegal?
Sexton is the new Dungey, super classy and no BS, let the winning do the talking. I am huge fan.

Once again, your Vital bio indicates you are well in the know so you are free to expand on things any time. I've gone to the Star Racing webpage and IG, not much info there other than one photo of Dylan's championship. Maybe PR is not the team's strong suit?

To be fair, all it will be is countering what has been said whether its the truth or not

For me (and no saying anyone else needs to be the same)....I have lost all respect for Star Racing team at this point

Dumb comments, eh? Yet you don't even know the difference between "they're" and "there".

I love the guy that comes on and says "you're wrong" but can't explain why...

I'm not even one of the guys talking shit about Star, but seriously bro... You give them plenty of ammo.

Brad Hoffman has banned Wilbur from talking to Steve publicly. Blame that dude. I wonder if the fuel protest that won't go anywhere comes out of his pocket...?

So, 7 pages in and no actual evidence that Honda used illegal fuel? Correct? any idea when this will be resolved? Shouldn't be that difficult to test and resolve one would think.
