Bench Racing | Washougal National Timed Qualifying

Does the track seem really narrow this year to anyone else? 

All the 250 guys ride like BamBam, revving the shit outta their bikes in the air lol

Good job they saran wrapped a load of straw to the tree. What a professional sport. 

Nice to see my boy Pierce Brown back, I saw on MLs video that he signed a 2 year deal with Star again. We just need my other boy Jalek back now

That wall into the sand looks bigger

Say what you like about Deegan, he's fun to watch. See the 07:20 minute mark. 

Drew Adams 4th, I want to see what he can do with a good start. I’ve been critical of him, nice to see him bringing the speed. 

How is kitch so bad at his home track every year 

Is it me or does Davies always looked pissed off ? 

I was thinking the same thing

Are we still feeling each others plums or did I miss out?

We’re still feeling them brotha 

Tomacs Kit is looking sick

why even watch practice 2 if they aren't going to show the times?  

Prados Fox gear is kinda lookin the same lol reminds me of the Texas national in 2012 when James Answer gear and Dungeys Fox gear had the same colors. 

Yep, but Tomacs orange boots make the difference for sure haha

Yaa Alpinestars kills it with their solid colored boots for sure. 

Marchbanks really on pace with the top 3 also in the 2nd session, cool to see.

sad to say it but Eli looks good - and still 4 seconds a lap off. Not good. 

In one of the Pulp / Racer X podcasts this week the guys were in agreement that this track would be Deegan’s best bet for a win. Hasn’t Washougal always been known as a slippery, throttle control type of place? Why does his style work here?

No Weege, he is not living up to the hype the family created..

Because 250 guys made him look dominant. Jo beat him last year and deeg an vialle swapped motos in 2024

You can be aggressive here, but also some tracks just suit peoples style better than others. You can charge uphill and kind of slam into some of the downhills I think. 

Not a good sign for competitive diversity when the 10th qualifying rider is 5+ seconds off the pace. 

Gap between 5th and 6th was almost 2 seconds. The top 5 are at a different level than the rest of the class.

I'm curious about Jett's ability to skim big whoops at the moment. Requires a lot out of the ankle. 

 

I miss his rookie year when he was smiles and was having fun. I know he’s extremely competitive and he and the fam put a lot on the line to come over and race here, but it would be nice to see him return to that. 

It’s a track that rewards the zero fucks given mentality with the shadows, sharp edges and the trees. 

There is still ruts in every corner to lean your bike in so throttle control is not as key as you would think there.

This place suiting Haiden is more about his mental status than his riding.
