yeah Martin tried a few passes in the horseshoe but got held off
Herrin got an amazing drive off the final turn and held it out
Totally agree & seen it before. (history lesson) back in the 70's, little Richie Oliver & the "Rising Sun Engineering" bike (wrench/team owner Rich Rigdon) went to Daytona w/just the 78' KZ1000, which promptly blew it's guts out on the banking (known to be hard on engines!)Can't imagine driving all the way to Daytona, only bringing 2 built motors for each of your riders, then sitting around when they both blow up. A couple thoughts come to mind if that is the case:
1. If you are one of the riders, boy are you pissed! Nothing worse than watching the guys you want to kick the snot out of riding when you should be out there.
2. The engine builder has one hell of an ego. Wow, you brought only your super sweet fast motors and they all blew. Good job. :applause
3. The team owner/manager or whatever should be fired, for not bringing a couple stock motors, so that the entire effort isn't a complete waste. If it's their money, expensive lesson.

Let's just link up the old thread(s), m'kay? I already had my aneurism and tooth destruction over DMG/AMA. Thx.don't you get me started !!
Nice to see so many CA riders in the top 10, & 2 women too! :teeth
But gawd, what a snorer of a race. Cameron pulled away & hid...lapped all the way up to 5th place, & Steve Rapp stayed unlapped only because he let him...zzzzzz
What has become of our favorite roadrace? :cry
Holy crap, there were more people milling arround on the grid then in the stands!?
oh, so you were watching DMG-era Daytona road racing?
I'd bet there were more butts in the seats at the 2 nites of short track races than at The 200 !

DMG runs AMA Pro Flat Track too, and AMA Pro FT is doing better than it has in years.
I didn't know that... Did hey also tell the manufactors to fack off? Did they introduce a pace car that almost killed the racers? Did they change the races were ran and turn the middle class into the show?
