I would guess that he knew that he was risking jail time at some point, and was willing to push the issue and go to jail in attempt to gain public sympathy and/or create some sort of legal appeal.

The SX points change is only an extra 1 or 2 points per race, and has only been around for 3 years, so wouldn't have much of an impact on career totals yet. But the top riders are going to score about 20-25 more points per year than they would have before ... more »

Is there much resistance to wearing masks in Australia?

Yeah, I recently went to rockymountainatvmc.com and was surprised that they aren't selling masks with brand logos on them.

"If the lab rats come up with a vaccine before election day you libtards will be disappointed." Why?

Aside from the purse, how much does it really cost to hold a national without fans? The costs of fencing, security, toilets, etc. would also disappear. Would sponsors and manufacturers still want to race if the purses were just eliminated (or greatly ... more »

Yeah, I would be willing to go if attendance was limited. I think if you are outdoors, in crowds small enough that you can maintain some personal space, with everybody wearing masks, your risks are pretty low.

Is your conspiracy that Newsom is going to get rich off the masks the state bought from Chinese manufacturers?

No, I think your wording was fine. Now I see that I just mis-read it.

Now you've got me double-checking my math. 2001: 1 (won the final moto) 2002: 24 (won every moto) 2003: 22 (there were only 11 rounds, and he was first or second in every moto) 2004: 24 (won every moto) 2005: 24 (he won 22 motos and got second place ... more »

117 in the 450 class. 29 more in 250.

I think RC actually won 31 consecutive motos. From Moto 2 of round 10 (Broome-Tioga) in 2003 (there were only 11 rounds that year) through moto 2 of round 2 (High Point) in 2005. He also had 95 consecutive motos where he finished in the top 2.

You think Jason Anderson has a better chance to win another championship than Eli Tomac?

This year seemed like progress to me. He won 4 races, where last year it seemed nearly impossible that he'd be able to win. He's still only 26, so I don't think it's out of the question.

Yeah, I give him at least 75% of the blame pie. That "look back" is incriminating.

I think the Chad Reed stuff is the most breakable on that list. It just takes somebody who really loves to race, and was good enough early on to get a bunch of podiums. Not saying that will be *easy* for somebody to do. But the Carmichael and McGrath ... more »

It did end Colt's night.

Coverage was a disaster. No podium interviews. No season wrap up. My cable guide said the NBC coverage didn't start until 1:30, so the 450 heat races didn't get recorded. (Luckily I was able to watch them on NBC Gold.)

AC had an 8 point lead.
