rained all thur/friday AM...sun is breaking and supposed to be nice tomorrow....dust won't be the problem...just monstrous ruts from the soft dirt. My seats have straight line view of the 1st whoops and sand section

I just had an idea to make the race result speculation a little more interesting. We could do a gas bet and assign points according to accuracy. There would be a -1 bad gas for all losers behind third place, and 1 good gas for third and second. Then 2 good gas for the winner and 3 points for a perfect guess.

I think it would be could be fun and add a little excitment to the race speculation. Anyone feeling the idea? Any suggestions for making it better/ more fun?

Hepler was hauled of in an ambulance after casing a triple(the one facing south when they land) preliminary tests have shown a broken spleen but it has not been confirmed yet. Get better soon Hep!

[FinchFan194]

It did rain in Seattle Friday morning but the track was covered with plastic. I was told it is in premo condition. There is no rain expected in the forecast now until tomorrow night. So we should be good to go!

I feel sorry for Broc. He spends more time injured than racing.

[motoxhead]

Who wants to put some gas up for their prediction vs mine? 1 good gas for the winner 1 neg for the loser.

Nick Wey passes Bubba in the last turn for second place. No one sees Hill in the second half of the race.

[Olalla7700]

The sun is out, it's supposed to be in the 60's during the day and drop into the 40s. Too bad they aren't doing this tomorrow... it's supposed to be in the 70s.?

Hey, I can be a weather guesser just like the peeps on TV.?

RV is back too... on the home track:thumbsup:

[FinchFan194]

Josh Hill is out with a spranged ankle. . .

[Hut]

Getting ready to go to Qwest now. I have so busy lately haven't been keeping track of everything like I usually try and do.

Gimme a recap pleez;

RV2 is in, Jlaw is out for his antics again(bummer) Hepler is busted up again and out, Hill is banged up...

Is that about it?

I predict Weimer isn't going to lay down and play dead for Dungey. I'm hoping for some bar banging close racing between those two guys. That long sand section (if still there) will come into play tonight since it is sunny and dry out.

That's just the first session, I'm sure. Should tighten up after the next practice. Also, Reed always holds back in practice, it seems, and lays down much faster laps in his heat. Can't really go off his practice times.

Don't know about that. Usually they are 1 and 2.... that is why I think they have only been in the same heat race once this year.

I know practice is just that but mentally I doubt Chad wants to be 6th fastest.
