Running 1125cc Buells with 600's? You cna just see those thing pull on the small I4's in the straights with their additional power and torque. What a sad commentary on American sport bikes that they have to run in a class with bike with about 1/2 of their displacement... On a brighter note - pretty cool to see a NESBA CR (Ron Hix) out there tearing it up and holding his own with the big boys  _________________  Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

I watched the race too... The only reason Eslick was remotely in the front was because of his speed on that front straight.

the pissing contest between pegram and mladin was cute too. I guess mladin does not care any more anyway since he's hanging it up at the end of the season: http://superbikeplanet.com/2009/Jul/e/n090731e.htm_________________ Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς www.WickedRacing.com - Go Fast Parts & Gear for Riders and Their Motorcycles PM me for "TrackWhore" special discounts

Gotta admit I am not going to miss him (Mladin) at all...
He is a good rider, but poor attitude.

The trouble with the AMA races is they have the Nascar idiots running the show. What a bunch of jackasses. I used to be a big Nascar fan but over the last 10 years they have turned that into a damm fucking bore. Added that is the fact they have a two or three hour show filled with fucking BS before every race. If you watch World Superbike just once you have a hard time sitting in front of a TV watch that crap.

He is a good rider, but poor attitude. I like Mladin, when i first started watching it i thought he was an ass. But the more i read about him and watch his commentary i like the guy. _________________

I like Mladin also, I think he just doesn't suffer fools very well. God knows the AMA series has a lot of those!
