3 rounds in and we’re in for an exciting season. 
Let’s see how it plays out.

I was there at A2 tonight. It dumped rain pretty hard right before the 450 main and the top of the soil was greasy. The start straight in particular was all shiny and slick as heck. Tomac’s outside gate position was no longer ideal. He spun out just beyond the gate and was second to last going in to the first turn. If not for the rain it would have been a much better race. Tomac looked unreal in his heat. We didn’t get the main that we deserved imo. Not sure if this was thoroughly covered on the broadcast or not.

Well, the rain made the race more compact than what it probably would have been in a dry race. 

Yes, Eli fucked up the start but all the other guys were up there and it was a pretty good main. 

It really wasn’t compact. There was a constant mist pouring down during the race that maintained a real slick layer on top. The guys were visibly sliding around and constantly missing the rhythms that they were hitting perfectly during the heats. Eli’s outside gate pick was never going to work as a slingshot like it did in the heat race. I doubt he would have picked that gate if he knew it was going to rain. Solid main for sure, could have been worse, but it wasn’t what it could have been.

Congratulations to you also, on a great observation. It's not exactly "back-handed" so much as a two part message.

I am sincerely happy that Tomac won. And I do also think that it will "end up" being a historic marker race for Tomac.

Regardless on whether he hangs the rest of the way or not I think I agree with you. That was greatness. There are no guarantees in this great sport. Who would have thought after a3 in 2001 that MC would never win again for instance. Yet, in a year where Carmichael won 13 straight, there was a race where Mcgrath caught him, passed him, and led him home. Greatness. Don't take anything for granted.

This isn't saying Jett will smoke everyone the rest of the way at all and I hope not, but remember to enjoy the moment rather than getting hyped over whats still just hypothetical. Ill never stop armchair racing about the future but I think we have to take things in more 

We will always have san diego

About a week or so ago, the question was, can Jett hang with Eli…. Because of course, he couldn’t.  Now they are just hanging together at PT.

For what it’s worth, Eli beat Jett in SX this year, something like 80 to 71…. Wink
