Bench Racing | Thunder Valley National Timed Qualifying

Any insider info on Triston Purdon? He's 23rd fastest so far

I also surprised as he is not that far from Reynolds, DiFranscesco, Cochran and even Bennick, who are more or less all from the same generation. The top 20 is particularly stacked this year tbh. 

We really following Jett for 5 minutes? 

STAMP IT!

Looking at the top 450 guys, I was quite surprised as for me most are kind of rookies or relatively new or just established to that class.

So by curiousity I had to see who was there 5 years ago and dug the standings from 2019 after Thunder Valley (copy paste from vital). Amazing how time flies.

That blue titanium exhaust on Jett’s bike looks sick

The #1 doesn't look like h is riding lame to me.

This gear looks good with the motorex blues complementing the bike

I wonder if this McGinnley guy did Enzos arm pump surgery?

I had an 81. I wish I could buy a brand new one. Especially for the $1425 I bought mine for!

The #820 looking good.

I like how JS7 calls it as it is and doesn’t show much partiality (cough JT$ cough with Jett), I think he is right, no worries on Jett for speed, but how his body holds up to two long motos. Then he also calls out Haiden for letting Tom’s pressure cause him to crash last race and not letting Haiden say he just made a mistake.

I raced a 1980 RM125 against 1981 Rm 125s. I actually hated the 1981 bikes! Felt like every weekend I went to a gun fight with a knife. lol 

These Q2's are representative of qualy...  The Q1 was a freeway.

Knife 

Gun 🙂

Shut up Wilma.

450 qual coverage was terrible.  Lots of trailriding is bad enuf.  But to leave the Q1 scoring pylon up when the track is 2sec slower is beyond ridiculous.

😅

Mine was a full R&D build...  Absolute rocket.  Nearly made the Hangtown national on it, burned a waterpump with 2 to go in my qualifier.  Would buy one again for sure.

Alpinestars gear lookin' good!

Anyone got any info on Talon Hawkins... is he healthy? He normally does good here.

Best bike ever.

Is that you or Mark Barnett 🙂

I really didn't expect DF 14 to be this far off this season.  He was my dark horse to come out winning from the get go. He has been miles off
