Does anyone know if they will have the buses from the strip to the track, like they used to when the races were at Sam Boyd? I'm staying on the strip. I will get an Uber or a taxi if I have to, but the buses were nice.

Really dumb and short sighted IMO. I understand the A and B classes but the Vet and open classes. From Release: "Until further information is known on the performance comparison between combustion and electric motorcycles, it would be pre-mature to allow these machines to compete at the national level." You don't gain a further information by excluding. Let them race...

Call them "Stages" Just like the Tour de France. They all count, winning a stage is great but the overall is what matters. You can't call them Heats or Motos because we already have those names in our sport.

I graduated from Bedford North Lawrence high school in 1992, was not on the State Champion basketball team with Damon but knew him well, played several pickup games with him when we were all younger. I was at the famous 8th grade game where coach Knight came to watch him. It was made famous in the book "Season on the...

I grew up 20 min south of Bloomington, I also have some stories of Coach Knight and things he did for people with cancer in the area and he never wanted anything for it. 29 years at Indiana not one NCAA violation, has the highest graduation rate on any coach ever, 3 national titles and could of easily had two...

I too think that electric bikes will be a great away to change the sport at a local level for the better. The expectations and old ways of thinking just need to change some. Louder doesn’t always mean fast, faster doesn’t always mean better. The main reasons people don’t ride race as much as they use to. a. No place...

What do you think a lights race win is worth to Barcia in $? Purse and win bonuses 20K - 50K? maybe more. It's not cheap having your own place and keeping it up. He must feel some pressure from that. What he needs to remember is that representing factory Honda next year will pay better and they don't like...

After trying to build my own small practice track, I decided that $20 for a practice day at a real tack is cheap. Yes It is nice to just be able to get dressed and hop on my bike and go ride , but you will get bored with a short backyard track real quick and you will spend more...

Stretch67 Added a reply to New bikes for each moto?

6/1/2011 12:25pm
KW had engine issues in moto 1, Probably the same guy that built KW's engine built CR's. Replacing CR's engine to be on the safe side was probably the smart thing to do. How bad would they have felt if CR has the same engine failure that KW had but only in the second moto. Remember at Hangtown they both...

Congrats, Growing up in Indiana I was a big Indy 500 and CART fan in the 80's and early 90's, Now living in Texas I've never missed an IRL race at Texas motor speedway. I can't wait for the turbocharged engines with the new Dallara chassis in 2012. I read where there going to hold off on the different aero...

Stretch67 Added a reply to Toyota Rav4?

3/7/2011 1:27pm
My wife has a 2006 Rav4 with 100K on it and it's still going strong. Tiers and breaks is all we have had to do to it. For two adults and 2 kids it is fine but putting a 5th person in there is tight. The rear door opens to the side and this can be a pain if some...

This may be a little crazy for some but I vote they try for one race doing away with the starting gate. Line the riders up road racing style on a narrow flat lane 4 wide 5 rows based on qualifying position. Use a light system to start the race. This pretty much guarantees that you will start next to...

This is how I explain the physical aspects of Motocross to the non moto athletes that I hang out with. I've never typed it out before, but I will try here. There's no back of the seat no sissy bar, when you accelerate you will fall off the back if you don't hang on. There's no seat belt no 5...

Interviews are great but what I want to see is more Technology brought in to compare the riders. I like how in down hill skiing how they overlay one run vs. another. It would be interesting to see where James is faster than others. Here is a link to a .pdf i found on the web about how they do...

Original TLD only wanted to do West coast 250f supercross but after the first year they decided in order to get any good young riders they had to race the nationals. I don't believe they have a plan to run the East coast supercross races this year. I agree that the Honda PC connection is interesting but I think it...

This doesn't prove the kid has any more skills on a bike than a kid that jumps a 50ft table top. It just show that his parents are making bad choices for him. I don't have a problem with kids pushing themselves but parents should put them in situations were then can do it with the least amount of risk.
