Does anyone know is it "Orbital" style D.I. with an air compressor or "Ficht" (E-Tec) style with a ram injector. Pluses & minuses to both, I would think the E-Tec style (Owned by BRP) might be the simplest, they both require a reasonable charging system compared to most dirt bikes.

I think Simmonds would be the choice here IMHO. In addition to the Carleton Dry Honda Thor team and Jake & Tye's efforts there is an additional Honda supported team for this years nationals with Michael Phillips in Open & Justin McDonald in lites. Press release will be this week. Team has good industry support & infrastructure so might be...

You can't go wrong with a Slash 4x4. As said earlier maybe not the ideal race car but pretty tough. When you break the control arms (suspension) then just buy some RPM brand ones and you will never break one again. LiPo's are the best but follow all the charging precautions (I know of two house fires from LiPo issues)...

Bobby & Mike make valid points, this should actually help the RACING with these conditions. Or do you guys think DIR have control over the skies?

One thing some are forgetting is the gear deals. Obviously the Shift/Fox group are big $$ in TwoTwo, yet BT is contracted to Carlton Dry Honda THOR Racing. I doubt with the money Yarrive (Owner of BT's team) would have had to find to pay him to race in OZ there would be the flexibility to miss two rounds out...

Suck it up, when I started following the series closely we had to wait two weeks to buy "Revs" (the Aussie Cycle News back in the day) to even get results. One small 1/2 page section every two weeks was it!

There is a FOX/SHIFT ride day next week, RC, Fro & Hart have been tweeting about it all week.

The thread was about the Australian broadcast. "AUS"^

Sunday morning live webcast (first motos) on allisports.com, 250's @ 6:00am & 450's @ 7:00am AEST. Second motos on SPEED & SPEED HD @ 2:00pm Sunday. Freestone will be live from 4:00am next Sunday for the webcast of the first motos I think with the second motos live from 7:00am on SPEED again with 2 hour live show. Way better...

I've got fully loaded Foxtel with 4 boxes and still watch nearly every round streaming or bt from slicknick....

I've got both a Traxxas Ken Block 1/16 Fiesta & a Slash 4x4 Ultimate. As posted above fit some RPM A-Arms & you will never break another one again (under normal crashes, etc). I like the fact you can bash & race the slash with a tyre change. I made the "A" main this week @ our local indoor track...

X 1,000,000

At least we will be getting both motos of the nationals live on Fuel & Speed I understand.

Salt Lake City slicknick killin it again for those of us outside the US.

and his cousin as well!

No doubt the loss of Andrew was a blow. I was very lucky to grow up in the same area & age group as the McFarlane brothers and Andrew was all class even as a junior. BTW, the #51 RM80 & RM125 in the video is non other than "ReedyMX" who posted the link. A bit of history there Tim.

Ando is a legend, a nicer guy I doubt has ever been a top pro in OZ. Even as a junior on a YZ80 super professional, wish I could say the same for his competition.....

If only u weren't on the other side of the world!
