Rain or shine...I'm just excited the outdoors are here. 30-ish minutes until the first gate drop!

So, Keef didn’t get in through LCQ? Maybe Tony Alessi forgot to carry a number when he was estimating comparative laptimes.

Yeah, he didn’t qualify and he was pretty far off of the pace. I haven’t really been following Keefer’s situation though so I don’t know what the expectations were, but I’m assuming a big motivation behind it (from everyone involved) was just to have fun. I doubt MCR was expecting any monetary success out of this little venture.

If the truck is already in California. It’s probably a great way for them to get cheap advertising

I think they got more 'monetary success' with Keefer than anyone else. I'm sure hundreds of people listened to what he had to say on pulp the last several weeks, not to mention his three podcasts about the bike. He go more exposure for them than anyone could in positions 20-40.

*edit
Would have been cool to see Mike out there.

Plus it gives credibility and relevance to all the testing he does for us.

I like Will but her 75 word preamble before popping a simple question like “ Who is your competition?” bugs me.
Soemtime you can see the interviewees mind wander during the preamble.

Looks like the new commercial break camera for the outdoors this year has an ASMR mic

What's the % of that "track map preview" thing that's actually accurate - 60%? Why in gods name do they use that crap.

I So wish there numbers reflected how they did the previous year , i didnt Remember off the top of my head
That Martin Finished 2nd in last years outdoor series
Until they just said it did you? But it it would be easy if he had a #2 on his bike instead of #26
Even if the guys ran a different number between
Supercross and motocross
That would be fine i just wish they ran the number of there previous finish in each series personally.
