Ran lap times pretty similar to Seely's snatching fourth place in Torino during the super pole.

I was racing my old 250 and spazzing out about how I was never going to get past this roadblock rider ahead of me on his 250 Husky. He was good at picking the best lines and even better at blocking. About that time, Tom Benolkin cut under in the next corner and passed both of us in the same damn corner. To add insult to injury, he did it on a 125 Penton after blowing his 250 up in the first moto.
One of the best peice of riding advice I've ever been given has been given to me by 3 riders Justin buckalew, albertyn and rc himself.
You guys are not fast enough to worry about line choice. No matter how beat a track is a real pro can make every inch of the track work. So quit worrying about what line is fastest and just ride every inch of the track as fast as you can. The faster you learn to ride the easier it is to build your race craft and line choices.

Guy B would click me if I said such things.
What about this race when his lap times were 1/2 faster than Ricky’s and he was on a 125. https://youtu.be/Ec1VSzVg95Y
Also largely influenced a lot of amateurs for years to ride with their bars rolled back into their lap, sitting down the majority of the time, and keeping their elbows down.
Made it hard for me to enjoy his speed.
- at 1.27 / 1.28, breathing probably more
- and at 1.33 / 1.35, where he didn't use the trick about the finish line at the bottom of the jumps.
The rest I think he was on par, and tbh I would not be surprised to see him leading the first third of the lap if we were looking at litpro, he can still be in beast mode for sure.
