Say what you want about Nascrap taking control, Speed f'ing up broadcasting, and AMA generally being the laughing stock, but last night's race was bad ass!

Was flipping through channels last night and getting ready to flip off the set when they aired yesterdays race from Laguna. Once you get past the rolling start, those guys were out for blood. It was an insane race! Reminded me of WSBK from years past. Fenders slamming, tons of passing, a few epic offs... generally a great race to watch.

I still don't get why Buell gets to put a 1100cc v2 up against the 600's but what the hell?! It was a good race.

The most competitive race this year. Gotta love to see racing like that. DMG in my eyes is doing good things.

Yes its a bunch of $^#% with the v-twins running with the 600's.

LOL!

I didn't watch the race, but I read on Superbike Planet about some horrible incident where the AMA parked a 'safety car' right off the track at the end of the front straight??? Holy crap that's gotta be a serious pucker moment for the riders going full speed over the crest!
