too funny, Greg. the move was totally obvious but not sure why everyone is up in arms over it. TEAMMATES. sucks for Marvin. i knew he was going to win the main, was looking great. you could tell right away early in the day who was having trouble on that track. awesome racing.
VIP treatment was good. we arrived around 1030am or so, scored our tix and pit passes, did the pit walk thing, checked in at the RM rig, got a bunch of swag and a VIP pass to come and go as we pleased. did some more pit walking, back to the rig for some burgers on the grill, snacks and drinks available. was real cool to get some eats on the house because once inside the stadium it was STUPID expensive. loved that we could come and go from car to pits as needed but once 430 hit no more exiting. just made it easier to put shit in the car and do some more tailgating. people watching is always fun. we saw some characters that made the day a riot.
the RMATVMC work crew was super nice, riders not so much. :spit: Baggett and Millsaps did not want to be bothered, straight-faced no talking, but we understood. the meet 'n greet thing happned like an hour before they had to be on track. what a pain in the ass for them to get out of focus. it turned into a day > night joke for us though. had some great laughs ragging on Baggett. also met Dakota Alix, he was all smiles and happy to talk. we didn't have any questions but some of the others did. 5 groups won the RM SX experience.
nothing really to report except fun times and great racing all day. thank Jesus for the breeze because it would have been hot as fuck.
our seats were killer, row 23 from the front edge. glad we stayed at a hotel after, made for a nice mellow evening. great weather for drive home on Sun.

Oh wow. Must have missed that pic.
OH, SNAP! can't wait for tonight.. .Quote:
“Yeah, after the fact I obviously knew about it,” Tomac said. “That was tough to see also, you know? If the championship does come down to those three points, that’s a bummer, a bummer for everyone. But, hey, if you want to take that home and sleep on it knowing someone pulled over for you, well then, that is what it is.”
THAT 250 RACE WAS OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN!
I was pulling for RD1 but if ET3 won i wouldnt be upset, but i feel he showed his true self this race. Looked like a sore loser to me. The first pass he put on RD1 was a little much but i shrugged it off as racing. Then he shoved RD1 off the track. Then the one on the last lap was just dirty. RD had plenty of chances to shove ET3 off and RD1 made his pass clean. I realize this race was all or nothing but it was all heads up racing from KTM
I was at the race live, what an epic race to be at for both classes... it's about time we had an exciting finals. That being said, I agree with ET3 comments.. he showed his true colors and his intent was clear.. take RD1 out. Total loser, typical for the Kawasaki teams of past
OK, That 250 race was INSANE. And DeCotis got all the airtime! But I must say, the earthtones are not great for TV. I could barely see him at times! lol.
And Tomac clearly slowed the pace to try to take Ryan out. Close, but no cigar.
even with all the respect i lost for CR22 this year, it was cool to see him battling up front. shame he got taken out.
and even after getting hung up on the finish line jump, JA21 still managed to get past JG33 and get the win!
watching the last lap again and seeing ET3 INTENTIONALLY drive straight into the side of RD1 was a huge turn off. it wasnt even a block pass. he had the whole inside line to make a clean pass and he lost 1 (almost 2) places in the process. desperation is an ugly color on him.
if RD1 does retire this year, then next year should be great as well with ET3, KR94, and JA21
Agreed on Tomac. It was weak. The pass in the 250 race was a legit, balls out, high risk hail mary block pass and I have more respect for that.
Exciting finale to a fun season in both classes when Anderson just must have figured screw this mess I'm just going to go for it. . Would have been interesting if Roczen didn't get hurt to see if he would have been in front all season.
