i didn't follow the sport from about '90-'97. When I dropped out, the classes were: 50 60 80 125 250 And that was it. I suppose there was a modified class for 50, and a EXPERT class for 250...but it was pretty simple. I remain completely confused about all the classes today. My kid aren't into moto, but if they...

not a good place? After winning a race in front of 50k fans, this is not a good place to ask questions? 1. talk about setup specifically 2. specific sections of the track - what worked and what didn't? 3.

...and I bet you that we're going to be VERY lucky to see this season finish normally. SXSW is a huuuuuuuuge deal for Austin, and for them to cancel it over COVID-19 fears is a major decision. Putting 70k fans in a stadium is going to get questioned soon... hope I'm wrong.

i'll say again - I think Marv retires. This stuff hits too close for him. She is gonna help him walk away while he can still...walk. I don't blame him, either.

that split section seems silly. There's a fast line and a slooooow line. Meh. I like the sand and the long whoops though!
