thanks .... I was BBQing and watching Indy 500 quals (get well Seabass).   finishing the nasCAR.

 I'll turn on Sac after. 

Terry Elrod texted that Tedeschi Trucks is on Austin City Limits. 

And the final SNL.

wow.  good night to kick back.

Too bad you missed Kopp on the 2 smoker

Shayna looked good!

 Yeah , Shayna got her (blue) back . The XG's are looking better also , or at least Coolbeth is .
See Kev , no HD bashing from me

As long as they don't have ape hangers, I'm Ok with 'em.

this chrome cast thing works really good. 

Lots of drafting in the 2nd heat.

Looks like Harley has reworked that little 750.  Seems like a wimpy bike on the street.  They must've really beefed it up for racing.

 The race motor and street motor don't share any internal parts .

I've seen enough Harley ads to last me awhile!

 My understanding is that V&H has some new heads and cam profiles in the works . They are down about 10 HP to the Indians , maybe a bit more .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

 Shayna is BAD !

 Dusty

[LowRyter]

nice tribute to Nicky.

[oldbike54]

 How about that , wow !

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

 AFT singles on fanschoice this evening . Springfield TT course , they will turn right at least once every lap , and there is a jump . Watch Shayna mix it up with the boys .

 Dusty

[LowRyter]

I hope the rain misses them tonight. 

[guzzisteve]

Some good get-off's and crashes.

[LowRyter]

why aren't there any people in the stands?

[oldbike54]

why aren't there any people in the stands?

 Structural problems in the main grandstands , there are temporary stands located around the track .

 Dusty

[Bonafide Bob]

Springfield TT was some great racing, Hayden Gillum was flying. I didn't mind sitting on the grass watching the races, but hopefully the grandstands will be repaired  before the next race.
 I am looking forward to the Mile races today.

I watched on Fanschoice, was cool seeing Mees out there, most likely for extra points.

 My feed wouldn't work , are you sure that was Jared Mees in the AFT Singles race . The points don't transfer .

 Dusty

[LowRyter]

yes,  Mees.

[oldbike54]

yes,  Mees.

 Interesting , there is a provision in the AFT rulebook that allows a rider to move a class for one race a season , although it is kind of confusing . Shayna is entered in the Mile today using a provisional start card . Where did Jared finish ?

 Dusty

[guzzisteve]

1st in the Final Expert. Maybe it was for the fun of it, practice & something to do. I forgot it was 2 different series of racing.

 Ahh , so Jared was racing in the Steve Nace event , not the AFT sanctioned race . Now that makes sense . There were probably other plate holders scattered thru the Nace program , lots of them race in that series also .

 Dusty

[LowRyter]

yes,  two classes,  Expert and AFT Singles.  Hayden Gillim was winner in the Singles class and Mees Expert.

[oldbike54]

 The promoters should have allowed the singles to race , this all HD support class isn't working out so well , 3 XR 750's in a heat race 

 The Kawasakis and Yamahas have found some speed .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

 It might have only been an LCQ but Shayna just beat Brandon Robinson for a win . The girl can race the MILE 

 Dusty

[guzzisteve]

The 'Wrecking Crew' 3 abreast across checkered. They're just playin out there, no H-D's around.

[timonbik]

I couldn't get the Fanschoice video up.  Got the updates live but no video feed.  This has happened to me before.  I'm a little po'ed as we had a couple of local Canadian boys make it to the semi's,  Mike Labelle and Don Taylor .  Anyone have a solution or am I not alone in not being able to watch.

Cheers, Tim

[oldbike54]

 Tim , try the AFT FB video feed .

 Davis Fisher (Kawasaki) and Sammy Halbert (Yamaha) have been faster than the Indians for a few laps . Restart now .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

 Sammy out front !
