High Point - Hot!

Only a couple of hours from home for me, but I will also pussy-out and will instead watch it on Peacock

Only 14 000 odd miles from me...I'll also pussy out. 

It's fucking sweet laying on the sofa...need I sat more?

I will use beer as coolant. Leaving the train horn on the boat.

For High Point the 80s - 90s isn’t that bad …… But Don't forget the humidity!

I don't care, me and my son will be there!

Only a little ways from me, but the flat brimmed fitted cap, tattooed crowd chased me away from attending a decade ago. Literally heard some of these dudes once arguing that their FMF Tshirts were supposed to be pronounced Famoof or some such shit at that race years ago. Peacock works fine.

I'll be there flagging as usual

My current temperature in Florida 🙃

I have been to High Point countless times over the years and it always seemed like it was super hot and humid, like is being forecast or we were freezing to death and it was raining.  Only seemed to be nice weather, temp wise a few times.   With the advent of being able to watch it live on Peacock, I have little interest in being there anymore.   I’m old and somewhat cranky so that might play a role also 😂.  Can’t blame Alph for not wanting to go.  Hope all that do go enjoy it.   Go Chase!!

Man you guys would flat out die in Texas lol. 

lol. seriously. upper 80s is a legit cold front. HA.

of course, they make fun of us when we shut the State down when it hits 25 degrees.

WTF is up with moto fans these days???  80'-90's?  Stay hydrated and out of the sun and watch moto all fucking day.

Florida, Texas and Arizona moto fans are calling your pussy ass out!!

This is what I've got this week...

Good God man, watch yourself out there.....that kinda heat don't fuck around.  My Son is in south TX now, and it's quite a change for him for sure.  And he's VERY fit.......  You and yours be safe.

5 #2 Cooper Webb 

6 #36 Garrett Marchbanks

4 out of the top 6 from last year are out this year 😪

Sounds like SX is perfect for the Sallys here

In the PNW we start to die at 75f. It hit 80 this weekend and it was too hot. And I've lived in Mississippi and Sacramento, CA so I have seen plenty of 100+ days. But that was long ago and I'm no longer acclimated to heat. 

BIBLICAL 

haha damn dude I was scrolling down waiting for it and thinking I'd have to be the one to say it but you beat me to the punch.

Sad but true. I feel all of this.

I will say this, tho: TV cannot compare to leaning on the fence when a truly fast mfer comes blowing by, splattering yer Tshirt with roost. That shit never gets old…

It's currently 100* in northern CA and it's hotter than hot shit. Can't keep the sweat band dry on my hats anymore.

Is it just me or is it strange for High Point to not be held on the traditional Memorial Day weekend?

Sounds like nice weather to me but you do you. 

Still strange not having Steel City. We were truly spoiled by having them both on the schedule. 

That is just more evidence of how depleted the field was last year.  Those guys missing?  Would barely be top 10 guys, except Roczen.

And the guy that's still there?  He's a 7-10 place guy now too.  

We're in a transition, and Jett's timing is perfect.  The competition will eventually improve, but not for a couple years it seems.  More of the same for a while... 

J Coop, Hunter and Chase have most of the skill needed to win, and they will get a few here and there, but Jett has it all (speed, endurance and racecraft) and will get most of the wins for now.  The real question we cannot answer is, for how long?

 

Gone . . . but replaced by Sexton, Hunter, Cooper, Anderson, Barcia, Stewart and Craig. Or in other words 7 of last week's top 10 were not at High Point last year.

Ya but we snow blow the drive way in shorts 

Why did steel city get the boot? Was watching old rv & rd battles just last night thinking how good that track looked. 

With all the college students that showed up with coolers before it was always funny to see them passed out and sunburned to hell laying there along the fence.
