Gonna admit I am surprised that he went that fast right out of the truck. I'll be interesting to see how he holds up with a lil longer main

I like Daniel Blair but that is a really bad question. MX/SX is a really, really small sport. The amount of media they have to do is a joke compared to bigger sports, the amount of criticism they get is nowhere near what the athletes in bigger sports get when they aren't performing.

The criticism against Webb has been 100% justified. Some would say that he is still under performing even though he has improved.

I'm not sure if he's on the best equipment. Not a bad time but he doesn't look that great to me

Could it be because he is in C practice. It is maybe difficult to find a clear lap ?

Starling is on my fantasy radar but I think it will stress me out. Not surprised by Hill, he can definitely ride the 450 and he is brimming with confidence right now. I hope he can pull some starts.

I think he'll qualify but probably finish around 20th.

My first SX, Tampa 89. Ex-Wife, myself and in laws made the 32 hour trek each way.
Stood right beside Johnny O and Jim Felt at the back of their box van, no biggie, oh yeah.

In laws were very religious (on the outside anyway), didn’t appreciate my occasional taste for the cheap smokes and beer.

Seen Guy Cooper jump over the moon, Bradshaw crash going for domination and Wardy whipping a huge win.
O’Mara’s Suzuki sounded like a fart machine. It was weird because RM’s owned the early eighties.
My Canadian hockey eye’s were big as boulders.

Drive back didn’t go so well, separation and divorce happened short afterward.

She took car and I bought a new XY350 and drove that until there was too much snow, then bought a nice new Nissan Hustler.

Imagine, two of the best thing to ever happen to you in the same year!??

I'm picking Cerdic. He will qualify around 25th but he is a racer and a good starter, he will make it.

I missed it, what was the question and who was asked / what was said?

Your Webb comments are spot on.

Webb was on RDL.

Blair asked Webb this: "keyboards are always on fire and they don't know what's going on behind the scenes but they think they know, is it hard to keep that stuff out and focus ahead"

Would have been sweet if they made the turn after the sand a mix of sand and dirt.

I'd love to see them interview this group. Pretty diverse and might be interesting.

They are pretty much doing what Fly did back in the day. Supporting as many privateers as possible, the smart thing to do.
