    Race was stupid sick! Track was the gnar as well. More like a outdoor track with SX flavour.

    Re: Daytona SX

    Yeah, I liked it. I favor outdoor style tracks with SX features thrown in.

    No spoilers in here, eh?

    Carmichael designed the track layout and it looked challenging and very rough all around compared to the other tracks I've seen.....then again, I'm not a dirt guy so maybe the outdoor tracks are all like that.

    Whatever the case.....sick race for sure, right from the first turn.

    Yup, sick race from what I saw. I'm glad Speed keeps things on time and cut out the last 2 laps of the race for those that recorded it with their DVR

    Re: Daytona SX

    yeh so can some one spoil it , Pm me if you don;t want to post it, we got to see up to the last 1.5 laps then the dvr stopped.

    I assume Chad kept the lead and got 1st ???

    where did Bubba end up placing? I think he made his way up to 7th when we lost it.

    Re: Daytona SX

    Not much changed from there. Cool burn out from Chad, Stewart stayed in 7th that was one hell of a ride with the bike all twisted up like that.
    WTF was Lawrence all about who new he could ride a 450

    The last two weeks have been really good. Nice to see Reed on the podium without looking like he's going to burst into tears after getting another 2nd place finish. Hopefully this is the end of Speed's stupid Stewart montage bullshit before every race...

    maybe they will play his crash footage over and over again and how he tried to get up on the wrong bike . still pretty impressive to go from last to
    7th on a crooked looking bike

    great race. I'm sure reed like it better than last years.

    Its amazing that both bubba and reed make everyone else look like they are standing still on the whoops section. I haven't seen anyone else riding like them through those. consistently 1-2 seconds faster than everyone else it seems.

    btw, a good friend of mine showed me what the "bubba scrub" was.

    I was going to ask if anyone else had that problem! I'll have to set it for 5min after next time.
    Motocross files was a repeat too.

    What's more amazing is Bubba can run consistantly 1-2 seconds faster than Reed

    I've watched Motocross files and got kinda board with it in the past.
    I just changed my DVR to record 15 minutes before and after

    Had he successfully got on that other Yamaha and got it running would they have let him finish? he might have been better off. That would have been entertainment.

    that race, the week before is one of my favorites.... It is unreal how Stewart floats the whoops, by far the fastest ever through whoops.

    I think almost all the races so far this year have been sick...the 250s have been awesome to watch as well.

    Pretty crazy that Lawrence had the fastest qualifying time.

    Speakin of the whoops, RV (#2)passed a few people in the whoops like they were standing still as well. He was charging awesome and then had some bad luck...he was ripping though

    Had RV2 not stalled, i think he would have charged right up and been pushing towards the top 3.

    I cant wait to go to the Toronto SX and see the action live. This season has been action packed!

    It's been a great season in both classes. i think I've been enjoying the east coast lites more than the west this year.

    and additionally speaking of the whoops... how about the camera set up they had? you could really get a feel for how quick those guys move through the whoops. fantastic!

    west?? wiemer FTW

    on the east i'd like to see izzi step up and start winning and stop being a bridesmaid. pretty sure the season is over for stroupe unfortunately. not a big pourcel fan at all.

    las vegas is going to be a fantastic round in the lites class.

    Re: Daytona SX

    ^oops ya west haha. I like pourcel, he is so damn smooth and hadn't even ridden sx that long. On the other side I would like to see Izzi get a win as well, he definitely can.

    Ya Vegas should be nuts, there really is alot of talent across the board in the lites...Dungey,Brayton,Morais,Stroupe,Weimer,Izzi,Canard, etc

    Canard has suprised me, I really thought he was going to be the guy to beat going into the season then he started off with bad luck getting tossed off the bike and neve recovered.
