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

 

I have been wondering same thing for SX, I think that will worse in a way for ankle flex

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

A second off of Prado, doesnt seem like the 450 guys on the ktm/husqvarna are getting along with the track

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. 

Was pretty much the same in SX this year. He seems really hard on himself and locked in, specially when he doesn't win. Once he title was locked in, he was smiling and all fun again. As you said, I think he's just really competitive and hates anything but winning

Good god I just had a SX flashback nightmare, I left the TV on after qualifying and from the other room I hear Leigh Diffey's voice on the TV.... 

I guess he gets to annoy the track and field fans too...

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

I was thinking the same thing

It’s very narrow. After the finishe and before the ski. Jump they took 5+ feet off the outside line. Passing will be tough.

~1/2 second between the top 4. I just want to see them all hold the same pace for a full moto and give us some battles today.

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. 

Agree, or at least show the 2nd qualifying times next to the 1st period times.

Proud uncle. My nephew Ashton Bloxom made his 1st 450 motos with a last turn pass in the lcq.

Been thinking for a while.. if we're only going to show the second round of qualifying, we should only take the top 20-30 from q1 into q2 and then the gate pick should be based off of q2 results so there's always guaranteed stakes on the televised part of qualifying. It's so damn annoying to not see the laps that actually secure the top positions a lot of time outdoors 

Or, you know, we could just show Q1 with no commentary so people can at least watch

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?

Haiden is a west coast guy and knows what he can and cannot get away with on a slick track.  If he pins the start he has a chance,  but I am afraid the kangaroos are not gonna let that happen.    Deegan is sylvester the cat for you other old guys out here. https://youtu.be/yITcEEKREDg?feature=shared

I dig older Dianna Dahlgren. Charming as all get out.

Side note. Who is the 23 media guy? What is his backstory?

Was it Tomac that Deegz got so ticked at on the last lap of practice?

Okay…I’m not a Deegan fan to say the least…but…this is his best chance for a win imo.  I don’t think he will personally.  I have him in a close 3rd to Hunter…with Jett winning.  
BUT!!!!  If Haiden can’t get it done this week….can we pplleeeaaasssee stop the “I think this is the week Deegan gets it done” comments.  Literally someone says it every week…and they are way wrong…every week…and he is 20-30 seconds back.

Oh, that overhyped rookie that sucks? Who ‘da thunk it. How could this happen.

Who said he “sucks?” Anyways, I’ll come back to your comment in 2 hours

I was just wondering this past week what happened with Boespflug. I remember that he had a serious injury (at least I think I remember that!), but thought that if he had recovered enough to race that someone on a satellite team might take a flyer on him. He was pretty damned fast a few years ago! 

He was fast back in the 250 B days… I think he was around top 20 in moto 1. If that’s what he got today that is a great result for him.
