Awesome to see him riding to his potential.

I felt like a kid watching JS7 again. Just flat out chopping up the track, whipping 180, giving zero f*cks. Literally held my breath for the last lap.

Bam bam needs to be signed to a week to week contract with a large championship bonus.

Hope he likes his red KTM.

No, he has heart but this makes him look unprofessional and juvenile.

He had a much better look today.

I don’t think so. They were hauling the mail and dropped everyone at the halfway point

Great to see they got the race in, with mild weather. 3 days ago it was hotter and muggier than Atlanta in Indiana.

It’s crazy to see how much faster the boys can run on a more open track than per say Loretta’s. They did the best they could with Loretta’s but it was nice to see them back on their usual terrain. That top 4 were straight hauling the mail today. When AC went around Zach and Then Tomac/Barcia battle....some hold your breath racing today!

I think he’s trying to say Eli was protecting the bike, which he wasn’t. Looked to me like he’s having a hard time finding the next gear that the others never could. I expect Eli to get better as the series goes on. Barcia was riding like an animal yesterday.

It still does not seem like Eli is as good as last year...yet.

But it could be the tracks so far. He is good at Ironman but it is not his best.

Crazy busy weekend for me, just got through all the motos late Sunday night.

Only thing I want to add here is how awesome it was to see those guys on a REAL outdoor track in good conditions. Ironman absolutely drove home the point to me that Loretta Lynn's is a nice place for amateur racing, a shithole if it rains, but going forward it should never be used for a National unless there is absolutely no other option.

And Barcia 2nd moto. Ripping. Awesome to see.

I agree, but under the circumstances, it was what we had..

Would have been good to see what it was like had it not been soaked both times

I agree to some degree, but the lack of elevation and shortish straightaways just make Loretta's a bit too simple for my eye. I'm not saying it wasn't hard.

Im With ya in that one as cannot compare Lorettas to Ironman red budd or any of the big national tracks and the speeds they can carry on them are freaking insane!! Only thing missing is Budds Creek this year!!
