About Me
Raced MX back in the 80's. Raced Quads in the 90's. Water Ski racing, Watercraft Racing, Hobie Cat racing.

MX... raced Sydney Supercross when Jimmy Weinert & Rex Staten came out in the early 80's...lined up with Warren Reid, Broc Glover at Amaroo park back then.

That's all the names I can drop ... One more, I rode Dan Reardon's practice bike on the sand dunes ... another .. I passed Matt Mladin once ....(OK CR500 Vs KX250 WFO beach run ...but still...)

I saw Chad Reed at the Portland Stadium event in '97. The kid then looked like McGrath riding....I made an obvious prediction at that time.

Last bike was an '05 V-Rod ... ( MX - Quads - Harley ... what's next in that progression ? ) Just bought my 6 year old a pink Razor Electric Motor Scooter - she goes well ... There's hope yet !!

I don't miss a Racer X podcast or a DMXS show. I am lovin' the webcasts - it's sensational to hear or see a race as it is happenin' so far away ... it's great to see top guys posting here on Vital ...

I'll stay away from the insults and cyber shit slinging that brings down the IQ of this forum. I want to discuss a sport that has my attention with others that share the same interest.

Very entertaining. Matthes has dropped 5 dress sizes. JT looks V fit. JT$ made a meal of one start, hilarious. It was funny too when HL96 an JL18 approached Matthes and spewed advice. Dazzy apparently had his bet on Matthes. One question remains. WTF is a Manitoba?

The road course vs oval debate equates to the Supercross versus motocross debate from probably a generation ago. I can certainly see how the purest would rather the racing be kept on the ovals. For mine it's all about the road courses, turning left and right. Given the disparity in some drivers' road skills versus oval skills it would be...

It was confusing when I saw him running the 88 in Mexico City. I automatically assumed it was his number. However, in an interview today, he spoke of the number 88 car in a way which dentified the car being the owner of the number not him. As for the Trackhouse situation, it's a little bit like Pro Circuit letting...

Trackhouse and Jr Motorsports seem to have an alliance that started this year, , the no 88 Jr Motorsports xfinity car is driven full time by by trackhouse signed rookie Conner Zillich, who beat SVG on Saturday, who is driving the number 9 jr Motorsports xfinity car for select road course, it was origanally annouced as 4 races, but then Daniel Suarrez replaced him at mexico city, SVG is back in the 9 xfinity car for Watkins Glen too i beleive, Trackhouse is owned by Justin Marks,

I have taken a lot more interest since SVG went over there. One thing I noticed for sure was the lack of multiple event winners. I put it down to the ability for numerous cars to be wrecked taking out contenders and also rans without bias either way. I mean we all know the big names over the years but...

in road courses, its quite common to flip the stage, meaning you come in and pit with 2-3 to go, so you lose the stage points, but get the track position back when the rest pit under the stage end caution, SVG flipped the stage in stage 2 as well, but has such a big lead he came back on 2nd, and still passed Larson for the stage win, 3 wins this year, it pretty epic for the Kiwi,

I appreciate that explanation. Now can you explain this one to me please? Did Dale Jr take over Trackhouse? Or did SVG leave Trackhouse? Why on earth does he race against number 88 one day and in number 88 the next?

So to me - that would be like ET3 swapping bikes and number with CW2 going from SX to MX. I don't get it.

What's funny here is that we all get a bit annoyed when you're watching supercross and motocross commentators and they explain the most simple things for the newcomers to the sport. And here I am asking about the most basically simple aspects of racing. Bloody noobs!!! Another question which completely baffles me is how SVG moves from trackhouse racing to...

I've figured out that Svg had lead more laps, maybe that is why he gets the lead back.

Hello. Pardon the ignorance. Nascar newbie. I'm watching Somona live. Chastain is leading SVG by 23 seconds. He wins Stage 1. Ads. Ads. Ads. At the restart, SVG is on pole. Why? Chastain turns up way back. What am I missing?

It is poor form on my part, and somewhere, deep inside, I am sincerely sorry. It is however, that time of the year, where an Australian can have a bit of fun with y'all Americans. Here's to some great racing. See you guys on the podium.

There is no rider more down to earth, more approachable and more honest and open as Chase Sexton. BS and hype free guy. Outstanding.

If only we had another Lawrence to watch. Guess we will just settle for watching the dude with the red plate.

The tractor is on a track with a race underway. There is nothing between the blade, the wheels the ripper and the rider. The comments above include appropriate concerns about this as well as complete dismissal of any possibility of hazard. It's a hazard that no rider should have to contend with. I grabbed the screenshot with two riders in...
