I think Eli is going to slaughter the field at his home race. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes of course.

Seems that way, when more than 2-3 people can ride the bike wide open you get closer racing. That's why my feeling that 450s are too much, especially indoors. Would be great to have 250 mod for the top guys and 250 stock for the "up and comers", think the racing would be way closer and more intense.

The Lucas Oil "chokers" the girls are wearing is a bridge too far lol I mean, we get it, you're the title sponsor. We see it every 10 seconds and appreciate your involvement, but forcing them to wear something around their throats that has your logo on it doesn't do anything - especially when they're already wearing your logo somewhere else that is very visible. Just looks....odd
Might be their lanyard turned backwards?

Still having issues. I tried replaying last weeks race as well and it does the same thing and just keeps loading. I tried updating my flash player and no luck. Any thing else I could try?

Fantastic moto. I rest my case on JMart's bike. You think those guys are beating him on equal equipment?
So you go into hiding while the bike pulls a holeshot on the longest start straight and pulls everyone going up the biggest hills on the series but when he gets beat again you're back here telling us all about how slow the Geico bike is? Just admit you were wrong, man.

Why does that seem so far fetched? The class has gotten a lot more competitive since 2014

I think there is a lot more truth to this statement than some are willing to admit. But it could just be the conditions + track + the riders all feeling it.

No. I don't feel I am. The thing is slow out of corners.
