2023 SX Discussion

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

My teammate Jammer raced minis with Larry. Jammer had a guy turn down the fins on his air-cooled RM250 and made a siphon fed, water-jacketed deal with oil-cum-water radiator(don't Google that one kids) after hearing about werks bikes trying that lol. My current years-neglected dirtbike is a 94 RM. Coincidence?
Was the Frankenstein RM250 faster with the water cooling? I'm thinking the water cooling by itself wouldn't actually make more power but it would let you run a higher compression head for more power.

A2 track was great, unusual but had great racing. Houston looks kind of different too, which I like.

I'm sure it made it cooler looking, and heavier. I think he broke the frame on that one. Any of his stories need to be fact checked lol.

Fantastic night of crazy finishes and upsets! Webb answered his critics and so did Deegan.

Josh is getting a bit more pissed and pushing through. Justin appears to be punching above Tedders weight. Based on history.

Sounds like Justin really wanted 13 place on Saturday night.

Hey Phat! His dad insists there still is some speed in him to be tapped. Thought of you last night when running MXB at Knoxville. How ya been?

I sure like the way this season is shaping up! Good, unpredictable results keeping the points battle interesting.

I think Tomac's 7 Daytona wins is a record that will stand for a long time. Crazy to watch him dominate that track like he has over the years

He'll put himself into 2nd on the wins list, barring a biblical lightning strike. Then he can totally chill. His streak of OMG riding right up to the double shoulder crash will rank second only to Bubba and all of his moments for me. I'm still very impressed with Justin's Hill's ability to punch above Tedder's weight as top ten guy and Josh is really improving his results and look by the end of the race.

I think ET could have gone for the 24-0 that year because he was so far ahead of anyone else his fitness and speed just weren't in anyone else's wheelhouse that year.

Good on Kenny for the dub. You can see how much it meant to him and the team and that is always awesome to see.

That was a great night! I liked Thrashers podium interview, straight up owning that 96 was faster, takes a good guy to admit it. Both Hill's in the top half, cool to see. Kenny winning, Barcia riding extremely good. Lots of good vibes from this weekend.

As someone who had picked Sexton to win tonight... man, shit AP that hurt me. Then seeing his emotions on the side of the track. I think I wanted that more than he did.
