Not a bad A1 and start for the season. Overall the racing was pretty good.

Bummer for Malcomb - read he said he hit a false neutral, just like Carmichael speculated.

It was a scary looking crash.

I see they postponed this weekends race due to expected rain.

That sucks.

pretty good racing over the weekend, but it seems like it will all be for second place. ET is on a roll, and Jett may be a pretty safe bet to sweep the 250W.

I agree.

I was torn during the first 450 heat. When KR and Mookie are battling, I don’t know who to route for..lol

Anaheim 2 tonight.

Looks like I jinxed Jett.

So, I've never raced anything other than BMX, so I was wondering everyone opinion on when is it time to get aggressive with a pass. I'm not a fan of Webb, but that kid is a tough of a guy to pass as there is. Just about every race you see someone who is faster than him get held up lap after lap just because he always seem to be in the right (or wrong) place to keep them behind him. At what point do you put a bar in his side and move him out of the way. Anderson and others have gotten a rep for doing it and most feel it's dirty. Toe-mack didn't move him out of the way and it cost him big time.

Technically, taking the best line is part of racing, but there is a point where you just get frustrated and punt a guy..lol

Part of the reason I was a sucky MX racer was that I was petrified of making contact with another racer. Usually lead to me finding the ground.
Been hit a few times fairly hard and it always scared the shit outta me. Very timid on a bike around others.
Put a cage and a harness around me and my dangling bits become steel.

I’ve notice over the years they talk about Webb being very hard to pass - fast and seems to have a sense that tells him where to go to be in the way and has the ability to ride a wide, defensive line.

Barsha & Anderson seem to have more of a F-you attitude. Imma gonna pass you with a clean pass or a smack down seems to be how frustrated they are. MX is a contact sport at times.

Good racing this past weekend. I succumbed to Peeecock and subscribed.
