Today is one of those days he'll run up front all day and make us think "he's  back!!"  Then next week he'll be off the pace again.

Man weather is perfect here! 65 and cloudy high of 72. Track will stay good al day. No issues with shadows today. 

Layout is quite different and looks like they want to slow them down a bit. 

Rode the street bike up and went around the 3 mile backup on river road. Saved me 2 hours.

I saw a YouTube comment under a Matty B vid saying, I think I should go to the race. The track is 20min from my house. Huh? You think you should go? Cmon man lol. By the way Matty B KILLING the Nationals content!

Yep! Burkeen has like 5 or 6 videos uploaded before saturday already and he's doing interviews aswell now. I find myself barely watching anything else than his content now. Love the GoPro/track preview/commentary videos specially. Dude is killing it

Last time he made a comeback outdoors he improved a lot from week one to two. I think he'll be closer this week and closer again at Unadilla

Honestly, the way they have degraded the in person experience over the years, this is a real question. You save a lot of money, and get to actually see the race with no VIP areas in your way from your couch.

Idk I still enjoy the fuck out of Nationals. And last race I went to was the MXdN at Ironman. Cant wait to go to Dilla and Budds.

Why can’t RaceDay live do both sessions? They have a long ass race day live for SX, they should do the same for the nationals.

He has a real knack for being in the right place at the right time and catching serious action. Good to see his subs growing. Everyone sub if you haven't already

This is the narrowest I’ve ever seen washougal. They took away a lot of the banks that gave outside lines. Passing is gonna be tough. Big tombstones and wall jumps to slow them down. Dirt should hold moisture all day with the clouds and cool air. All the SoCal goons are wearing parkas.

Deegan on top. He's got speed here. If he can get decent start I could definitely see him snagging a win in a moto today. I think with him it's whether or not he can pull 2 good starts to get an overall. 

Curious to see Lawrences next session. 

I also feel like Marchbanks will be fun to watch today. I remember him one year coming up through the pack on a 250 here, feel like he might be on our screens a bit at some point. 

Perfect day in Washougal though god damn. Cool, slight breeze, little bit of cloud cover for the photographers. I also looked it up and the AQI looks good so there's hardly any smoke either.

Nah, no I don't. 

Regardless of qualifying, I think he has a history here. If there's any race where he's gonna put down fastest laps during a race it'd be here. And the Lawrences also have a history, albeit a negative one (although Jett has gone 1-1 here before under pressure). They could very well show up and be dominant because they're Hunter and Jett but they could also hand Haiden one on a silver platter today.

Idk why people dislike this, he was the fastest in Qual session 1 at Hangtown, High Point and Millville aswell. He always has speed. It's all about managing that speed through a whole moto.
I do hope they all get good starts today. About time we get another thunder valley/high point situation race again, was super fun to watch

Yeah his rookie year was damn impressive at that venue, blowing by everyone like they were standing still. But 2024 for example he traded wins with Vialle and last year he lost to Shimoda there. I think Washougal being like the worst track for the hunter brothers is more of a factor than Deegan being fast there, because he really wasn't dominant the last two years. Just hope they all get good starts. I'm sick of seeing first turn crashes specially this year

This is where they should be running all their pre-canned interviews and storylines so they don't have to do it in the middle of the motos. At least not for the people who pay to watch
