    Anyone from 'the league' hitting the Erico Motorsports AMA Daytona 200 viewing party @ Jakes (3800 Walnut) on 3/17? For details and to RSVP contact Erico @ 303-308-1811.

    This would be a fun way for some of us to get together and talk racing while enjoying some food and drink. Not to mention, stateside race season is FINALLY upon us and it will be killer to watch the big show on some big screens with a crowd.

    Hope to see a few of you there. I'd like to put faces to names for everyone in the league -

    Original post updated following the WSBK races @ Imola this past weekend. Three-way tie for 1st with a close 4th and 5th (only 5 points separating 1st - 5th)!!!

    Unreal racing..! GREAT to see Smilin' Sykes on pole and the Kawi take 2nd in both races. If his tires hadn't gone off he would have certainly claimed victory.

    Good on ya' Checa for doing the doble (good on me for doing the doble as well - 1st and 2nd in fantasy for both races :P). Can't call him Carlos Wreca anymore. The old man has gotten smooth, patient and FAST in his golden years. New helmet looks dope as well.

    Not too cool when Haslam took out Guinters in race one, but that was some serious riding to take podium in both races only six weeks after snapping his femur. :shock:

    Until next round ~ David

    PS... Nice to see the Roman Emperor couldn't keep pace. They must have removed the turbo since PI round one. :lol:

    WSBK has been good so far this year but I am looking forward to having some race winners who aren't eligible for Formula 40 and / or would still get carded at the bar!

    Since I picked Max instead Sykes (and you bumped me off the top spot), I don't think that I enjoyed this quite as much as you did! I figured the Kawi would eat tires again this year. Sykes did great. Did his tires really go off much or did he just not have Checa's pace? Sykes never really seemed to lose ground to the pack behind him.

    Not 100% sure... Sykes had a Superpole best time of 1:46.7 and Checa was 2nd @ 1:47.2.

    If you look at the race result lap charts, Sykes had fastest lap time in race 2 in the mid 47's. He just seemed to get away super fast in the mid to high 47's, slow mid-race into the 48's and limp to the finish in high 48's and even into low 49's (not 'limping' by any means, but you get the point). Checa was consistent throughout with times.

    Regardless, Sykes killed it and he is still one of my faves in SBK. Can't wait to watch the rest of the season ~

    PS... What the he11 is going on with the GP boys (Hopkins, Aoyama, etc)? I know Hopkins recently chopped off his finger and has a perma-shocker, but that couldn't have slowed him all the way to backmarker, could it?

    I heard Camier went 1s faster in practice today, but you don't get points for that

    I wonder how Kawawaki finally managed to get tire wear almost figured out.

    Hopkins said that he could barely hang on with his hand. Though he seems to have a lot of excuses, umm, I mean bad luck.

    Guy has an excuse for everything... he's not going to do much this year, and hopefully someone DESERVING of that ride will get it for the 2013 season..

    He was very humble in 2011 and rode his heart out. In fact, he came within a hair (literally) of taking the BSB title. Because of that and with Jack Valentine and the Crescent Suz team moving up into World Supers, I'd say he is more than deserving.

    Watch this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjePvNcu8n4

    Best season ending lap ever??? I think so! FIVE lead changes in last lap and Burnicle and Whitham almost have heart attacks in unison announcing. :lol:

    PS... BSB starts in only five days! :shock:

    We'll agree to disagree... I don't think humble is a word in his vocabulary. He f'd over JU, never takes responsibility for poor results, always has "reasons" or plain excuses when results don't come, he (was) a play-boy off the track and has pissed away more than his fair share of opportunities away... I'm not a fan. [/i]

    Another weekend of racing has come and gone and the results on the first post have been updated. Funny that most of the front runners didn't contribute in the pool. Awesome for the rest of us! :lol:

    Some interesting racing this weekend. In GP, Lorenzo stole the show from Stoner after conserving his tires and taking victory aboard the Yamaha. Solid performances from all, but Crutchlow and Bradl stood out to me.

    BSB was a disappointment after the first race was crazy wet causing some 'interesting' results. Race two has been postponed due to a crash in SS that saw Finnish rider Pauli Pekkanen crash and then reenter the race spilling petrol all over the track. Apparently the detergent that they tried to clean the track with caused a sheen that was super slick. Good on Kirkham for taking his maiden victory on the big bike in race one.

    Until next weekend...

    ~ David

    PS... I'll be at the track on Sunday getting some laps in if anyone from the league wants to pit together and chat racing.

    PPS... Here is Pekkanen's crash that caused the track issues :roll: - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPhiDJAZPQw

    Frickin' Melandri! Can't stand that guy... I hope Biaggi slaps him AGAIN.

    Anyway, I've updated the main page w/ results after this weekend.

    Here is a compilation of the Melandri dive (up the inside) fest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUDV6rbxruU
