I'm not sure, by definition yes it was a race, but you and I could have a running race around the block and it'd be every bit as much of a race as the 125 dream race, and I bet you wouldn't be able to find full results from it as well lol.

My point was it's not a national championship race yet some of you seem to think it should have the same coverage the real motos got. Even after there is probably more coverage of the 125 race than was ever warranted you guys are STILL complaining. (Not necessarily you in particular.)

Yea it was only a four lap race, but it's not like the people working the national just sit around all day waiting for those four thirty minute motos. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff to do before and after the real races that unfortunately makes the exhibition race take a bit of a back seat.
jorge, if you and I were having a running race around the block I would try to get the hole shot and then block the inside on the first turn and try to step on your shoelaces when you go pass me haha just kidding I appreciate your comments even though we don't always agree but seriously you're probably a faster runner than I amso I feel like it's only fair if I cheat at least a little bit

Besides RV, Wil Hahn, Ping, Palmer and (possibly) Sleeter, who else was there? I'm not being a dick, I honestly don't know who was racing beyond those guys and Aiden Tijero – who I'd never heard of until Saturday.

Sully, you know that I cannot divulge that information, or the BLACKOUT CREW (Guy B and his crew) would eliminate me.

Oh shit, good call. Guess I need to strap my tinfoil helmet a little tighter next time.

I don’t know if anyone has done any lap timing from their go pros but I just did a rough timing with the Aiden kid and it looks like he was pulling 2:27’s ....not too bad !!

The purpose of the 4 laps is so an electric bike can complete before the battery dies.

I can almost guarantee I am not a faster runner haha! I'd also probably trip on my own tongue before we got to the first turn.

So we should be OK waiting "a day or two" for results of a national event?

I can get live streaming results from a LL regional qualifier.

Get it?
I don't mean to be too harsh, but you are beyond delusional. The same promoter that runs the Nationals is also responsible for Loretta's......AND are the ones who promote the race for the bikes you are claim they are against. Think about that for just a second.

The reason it is not live or followed up with terrific video coverage is the fact they have TV crews that allow for us to watch every pro national moto LIVE and that crew needs a break.....I am sure you just work straight through your day without any breaks or time to eat lunch.....and I am sure you are the same guy complaining about paying for the gold pass.....and want even more free content.

Looks like a 10:1 ratio of people bitching about the people who are bitching about the lack of coverage and results from the professionally run, national level 125 race. Good going you bunch of whiny ass bitches.Laughing

Did I sum it up pretty well? Flame suit on,,,Wink

the manufacturers pay money to have the races on tv. I think that only Yamaha and KTM would benefit from being on tv, and they might not have the money or desire to fork over the cash

There is a 125 Class, MX Sports just lets 250cc four-strokes race in it, using severely outdated Supplemental Rules for AMA Professional Racing. I'm not against four-strokes, just don't believe they require a double-displacement advantage any longer.

Wasn't this one an open cc race today? Thought I heard it was more of a 2 stroke invitational race? Could be wrong but I'd like to see the results too.
