Exactly. Its possibly a safety issue, to big speed difference within the quali group.

Didnt this happen kinda recently…? That a rider was moved from group B to A on the raceday?

Cairoli in the nats? Or possibly Dungey on the comeback..? Cant remember…

This happens every year for some reason or another and no one bats an eye. Now it's a Lawrence and there's a vocal group of haters... So here we go.

Yep, now we are into the “make shit up” phase to discredit these guys.

As far back as 2011 I recall RV missed the main in one round.  I just checked - it was Jacksonville and guess what - he was in A qualifying the very next week.

Betting line on a Beta surviving tonight?

Why wouldn't they?

They had a lot of mechanical issues last weekend. I'm not sure the addition of mud is going to improve that.

Really confused about the Lawrence hate. Are we not trying to grow the sport now? Both these dudes are amazing for the PR of the sport. Great personalities and great riders. What's the issue? Jealousy?

The constant pushing of these guys down our throats. The 3 hour infomercial on Saturday nights. The 400 threads on vital gargling their balls. The talking about dethroning the king before the first sx race. The list goes on....

He looks NOTHING like 25 year old Nate Ramsey.

Do you think Daniel Blair quit because of Dan Hubbard? I've complained about all the complainers complaining about the TV broadcast, but gosh darn is that overweight, over-botoxed, over-fake smiling guy obnoxious!  JB's face says it all when Hubbard is blabbing.

That has literally NOTHING to do with them. Hate the media all you want, but don't blame the riders for being popular and fast. Wtf?

So either there’s no rule, or if there is a rule it’s ok to circumvent it because the guy is leading the points?

We're here at the race.  Thry said no 2nd session, thats it until the night show.  Did not say if races would be shortened, hope not.  Equipment out shortening up the double and triple quite alot.  Leaving the rhythm lands the same.

RV was the points leader....and the point people are saying is that he wasn't in the top 22 in points after the first race a so he should be relegated to the B practice....I don't give a shit either way and personally feel he should be in the A, but the level both sides go to prove their point is ridiculous...

Stay warm. sucks when it gets clipped down to 1 session and you arrive super early. Years of Seattle attendance, I feel your pain.
