[OaklandF4i]

Rookie Chase Sexton qualifies first in the 450s! Nearly 15 guys within the top minute... going to be a great day of racing. Starts minutes away..... :ride:thumbup

 

[budman]

Wow... that is rocking.

QUALIFYING
450SX Combined Qualifying (Top 10)

1. Chase Sexton (Hon) 44.006
2. Eli Tomac (Kaw) 44.036
3. Marvin Musquin (KTM) 44.212
4. Ken Roczen (Hon) 44.230
5. Malcolm Stewart (Yam) 44.268
6. Justin Barcia (GG) 44.355

10. Joey Savatgy (Hon) 44.695

I got to not pay attention now so I can watch later. F'ing work. :rant

 

[OaklandF4i]

BAM BAM! I think I need to order another Troy Lee Designs jersey and maybe even a Gas Gas bike. :teetharty

Talk about a 450 field of epic proportions. Only two riders that finished in the top 15 of the main that don't have a championship to their name. 450 series Champions battling to make the top 10. Its insane how good the field is! Only rider missing was Baggett.

Christian Craig is a rocket on the new Star Yamaha. All the heavy hitters are in the 250 east which should make it a great battle for the championship. Huge shout out to NorCals own Max Vohland, the 17 yr old from NorCal making his supercross debut finishing 9th. He is a true rookie... racing amateurs only 3 months ago and wasnt supposed to make his Pro Debut for another year or so. Folks that are fans of racing will remember both his father and uncle... fast pros in their day.

Great night and get to see them race again Tuesday! :thumbup

 

[Jeffrey Jay]

Thanks D! :thumbup

 

[Maddevill]

So Tomac did another Tomac. Happy for Craig and Roczen, sad for my boy Pooper Webb.

 

[budman]

Great prerace show! :thumbup

That is all that recorded :thumbdown :rant

Have it set to record on Tuesday.. no way not to hear what up before then so.. came here :laughing

If you have xfinity or cox cable, you can get PeacockTV Premium for free and watch full replay of both the qualifying show and the main show.

 

[budman]

Dish boy... no go.

Pretty cool to see BAM BAM and GAS GAS get a win.

First race in the series for a new mark. Awesome.

 

[OaklandF4i]

Yep, Bam Bam was on it and Roczen made him work for both his heat and main win. Three seasons in a row opener wins for Bam Bam. The Red Bull three-peat Anaheim video spoof put out before this weekend probably didn't lower the pressure or expectations on Bam Bam.

Not quite the Dungey, Decoster, KTM first win moment. Cool none the less. The red KTM Gas Gas bikes are good looking.

Track was opposite of technical which really bunched up the times deep into the field and may have affected results. Expected more of a roller derby type race, but it didnt materialize. There were some good battles to watch.

Video I'd like to see is the Mr. Troy Lee partying last night. :laughing

 

[budman]

Thanks man... enjoyed it. A little taste. :teeth

Some bitchen photo's

 

[OaklandF4i]

45 minutes to race time!

Nearly 15 guys within a second or so in qualifying for the 450s. AC and Sexton on top. Track again isnt super technical, though slightly altered from Saturday. Whoops were completely broken down by end of qualifying. Hopefully they rebuild and not just reshape before race time.

Craig lead qualifying for the 250s again. He looks on like he is on rails..... the Star YZ250F seems to have made him a new racer. Much bigger gaps in times for the 250's with only three riders within the top second, Colt Nichols and Jet Lawrence.

Making dinner early with desert and snacks so I dont need to move for the next three hours.... :ridearty:thumbup

 

[budman]

Still at work... :cry

Enjoy!!... I will get home at 7 and catch up.

 

[budman]

Good night of racing!!

Fast almost rookie in the 250’s and fast champ in the 450’s

Your boy in 2nd CJ. Impressive.

The OG on the podium!! Nice.
Barcia Barcia Barcia. :rant

 

[m0t0_ryder]

Ah man.
Got tied up with family calls and forgot about the Tuesday race.

Here's the Youtube 250 and 450 main highlights...

[budman]

The points are tight as heck. That makes it more interesting as every race can yo yo the field.

Ferrandes really looked happy as hell. I like him better in the 450's. :teeth

Hope Sexton is OK... such a bummer after being so fast.

A little Webb looking like Webb. One more in Houston.
The condensed schedule is a good idea. Seeing and hearing some fans was cool.

 

[OaklandF4i]

I was surprised at how many crashes there were yesterday. I don't remember a race with so many top guys going down.. and that small sand section took a lot of them. Almost want to say folks moved up and down in position on track more due to crashes than actual passes... weird for sue.

There were some great charges, especially from Osborne.. only to crash. :x

Thankfully from reports, Sexton is ok. Non of the top contenders have season ending injuries from all the get offs. Funny watching Ferrandis on the Podium. I think he was genuinely surprised to be there... and he admitted he was the benefactor of a number of folks going down.

According to the news, Barcia was mired midpack due to his shift lever being broken off. Softens the disappointment a bit.

In the 450s, I dont think anyone is going to challenge for a podium without a decent start this year. All the top ten guys, heck nearly 15 guys can run the pace.

Still not sure of my opinion on Lee Diffey announcing yet. Maybe its me, but he sounds like he should be selling some food processer on a cable tv shopping network. And does anyone not know that Brayton is riding for the Muc-Off team? Does he get a kickback everytime he mentions the Australian Muc-Off team? :laughing Great to see Brayton have a good night none the less. :thumbup

 

[budman]

Diffy is OK. I like him. I wonder if it the same as last year where Ralph has obligations and joins in Feb.

RC is maturing into a good color guy. I really think he took a big step forward from last year.

I might be a little harsh on Crocodile Dundee announcing..... :teeth He does have a world class resume. It just caught me last night his repeated mention of Muc-Off and few other team sponsors named.

Agree, RC has stepped it up. His first season was cringe worthy. He still makes up words occasionally, but its RC. :thumbup

Ralph is out, not coming back according to interviews and news. I'm looking forward to him being interviewed on the Whiskey Throttle Show some day. Guy has deep roots in American motosports and some connections with a lot the 80-90's hard rock bands. He has stories to tell...... arty

On the 250 race, was fun to see Jett out front. Disappointed that Forkner and Hampshire took each other out battling for second and no one got to challenge Jett. Another few minutes of racing, Nichols and Craig may have been able to bring the fight to him. They were moving towards the end.
