[Map8]

Doh!

bikes on track in a few hours

 

[kelsodeez]

[stangmx13]

the two highest levels of motorsports on track within a few hours

 

[kelsodeez]

im hoping ferrari take the win this weekend im a huge fan of both of their drivers. i also hope that the ducati is up there with the japanese factories

Fwhat? There's probably a Hello Kitty marathon going on as well I hope they show a guest appearance by Strawberry Shortcake

hey latindane,

it's "CRC", not M/C CRC
[tho' I'm thrilled there's essentially 100% M/C content here, a li'l F1 never hurt anybody.....]

 

[latindane]

so we'll talk greyhound racing here, too? Come on people, Bay Area RIDERS Forum. If you must talk 4-wheels, get some rally cars in or something actually interesting. I could care less about F1. Hey, since it's 'murica, talk about Nascar! That's fun!

Plus: other than it happening on the same weekend, it has nothing to do with BROTO-GP preseason testing, very much like my made up Hello Kitty marathon

I forgot about the night practice, so bikes r on track now.

Duc, Duc, Suz, Hon, Suz, Duc.... :wtf. Soft tire must be helping a lot

 

[latindane]

what's the track record there?

 

[stangmx13]

Lap record is 1:55.153, best lap is 1:53.927

Qatar is a lot like Sepang. conditions vary wildly and have a huge impact on the laptimes.

 

[latindane]

Then those are very decent times they're running... looks like we're in for a fun season, boys and girls!

first session, but still....4 factories again in the top ten. redding and crutchlow coming along nicely. aleix....the guy's a fucking beast. but i must say...i'm quite surprised those two bolognese heaps of shit are up that high, and so soon. goddamn i can't wait for the season to start.

Ducati's early season performance is certainly raising a few

so much 4 wheel hate haha. i say racing is racing and F1 deserves a notable mention since motogp and F1 are the top tier of the respected disciplines. its like going to a stripper convention and getting mad that they have a porn booth there. its all going to give me a boner so im good with it either way

 

[kelsodeez]

i am most surprised at how high up the big esparagus is on the first day. i really really hope that zook can make something happen and pull a dry win out, but i get the feeling that they are the new ducati this season

 

[A.Alva]

Ducati are using softer tires than the other factories are allowed, correct?

 

[kelsodeez]

yes and no. since the soft tires dont last for more than a few laps before dropping off they only really go for qualifying setup on those. i also read somewhere that duc is focusing on their setup using the harder option in anticipation of winning and getting their open class status revoked. talk about being cocky

More like a pigs with makeup booth...

Don't they have a F1 thread in the sink?

But hey, Kev gets to talk about all sorts of weird TV shows... it's just that I find F1 boring topped only by baseball (and don't get started there, I'll stop my rant now --until the next time F1 gets mentioned in a motogp thread :teeth

As I predicted.
