2Smoke Added a reply to Peick.

Most of the time, I like Barcia's aggressive riding style. The downfall of riding aggressively though is that sometimes your moves are perceived as dirty. There is a fine line between the two. I don't necessarily think his pass on Peick was dirty, but it was kind of stupid considering they were battling for 2nd in a heat race and...

The turnout at Dodger stadium in 2011 was great...probably 45-50k if i remember correctly. Not sure why the fall off this year. my only guess is something to do with everyone predicting storm of the year conditions when it ended up being blue skies all day. Us californians aren't used to that shit...we melt when getting hit with a little...

He is getting a chance to prove himself. He is getting full support to race out there every weekend, gain experience, and show what he can do. It may not be a factory ride, but I promise you his bike is just as fast as any other privateer bike out there. He had the 9th fastest time in qualifying at...

the top 4 or 5 europeans in each class are fast and on equal level of the top americans. beyond that, the field is very weak. there were americans in those gp races that were running in the top 20 who can't even qualify for a national event. you can make an argument that the racing was exciting, just as...

2Smoke Added a reply to we r starting a riders union

It's great to hear that some top riders are getting involved in this. Coincidentally, I was speaking to another team owner the other day of the need for a union. From a financial standpoint, the top 10 guys are usually well taken care of, but it's those guys that run 10th-20th that are living paycheck to paycheck. It's amazing how...

Pala is mostly flat right now with a big step-up and a couple of small downhills. They have plenty of land out there where they could probably put together a solid outdoor track, but the bigger issue is accessibility. it is a single lane winding country road that takes 20-25 minutes from the freeway with no traffic. it will be...

they will probably continue to negotiate and the race will end up at GH in Sept. As we discuss this, I think we are all realizing there is not a suitable site in SoCal to host the race. It is going to be much hotter out there in Sept as opposed to May.

i think Pala could probably put together a solid track, their pro track is already good, just needs to be a bit longer. the bigger issue is the logistics. it would take 6 hours to get from the 15 to Pala with all the traffic on the 76. absolute nightmare!!
