Really wanted to see that race. Eslick passing Hacking must have been great. I am glad to see Chaz Davis in the hunt. I was watching timing of Slick and Davis running together for a few laps. Davis leading then getting passed by Slick. Another good showing for Buell, RMR and Slick. Okay where were the Ducatis? | ||

MotoGT1 - "The Erics" - Pinson and Haugo - Liberty Waves Racing: 14 seconds in 2nd place after 60 laps - pretty cool! James Gang DNF - crash! Hope whoever was in the saddle is OK! | ||

I just saw a picture of Road Atlanta what is that CONCRETE wall doing at a race track, we might as well have a bike race at Bristol. I should ask how fast do riders go thru there? | ||

Why oh why must I wait a week to see the races? | ||
| Snowscum |
Ok here go with Race 2. Go Buells! | ||

Why is it not updating??? | ||

Snowscum - yes, that IS a wall - but it is behind the protective Airfence. All the more reason we send the RRW Action Fund our hard-earned money each year. Saves lives and injuries. Ask Vince Haskovec about the turn 5 K-Rail at Sears Point!!! | ||

Danny did it again. 1. Danny Eslick (Buell 1125R), 20 laps 2. Josh Herrin (Yam YZF-R6), -0.483 second 3. Chris Peris (Hon CBR600RR), -5.700 seconds 4. Taylor Knapp (Buell 1125R), -5.765 5. Jamie Hacking (Kaw ZX-6R), -6.274 6. Chaz Davies (Apr RSV1000R), -12.978 7. Jason DiSalvo (Suz GSX-R600), -14.996 8. Michael Barnes (Buell 1125R), -28.958 9. Steve Rapp (Yam YZF-R6), -29.251 10. Michael Beck (Yam YZF-R6), -29.429 11. Ben Thompson (Apr RSV1000R), -38.921 12. Marcos Reichert (Yam YZF-R6), -46.086 13. Leandro Mercado (Kaw ZX-6R), -47.127 14.

For the whiners: Slick's fastest lap in the race (1:30.021) was SLOWER than Herrin (1:29.919) and Peris (1:29.895) and DiSalvo (1:29.890) It aint clear to me that Eslick is on THE FASTEST BIKE with some "unfair advantage." | ||
| Slaughter |
Be even more interesting to look at the split times and speed traps... | ||
| Bads1 |
I can't find the point spread. Where is Danny in points now??? He was behind by 12. | ||
| Slaughter |
Top speeds from qualifying: 1. Leandro Mercado (Kaw ZX-6R), 161.71 mph 2. Danny Eslick (Buell 1125R), 160.12 mph 3. Josh Herrin (Yam YZF-R6), 159.94 mph 4. Robertino Pietri (Yam YZF-R6), 159.47 mph 5. Ben Thompson (Apr RSV1000R), 159.29 mph 6. Martin Cardenas (Suz GSX-R600), 159.26 mph 7. Chaz Davies (Apr RSV1000R), 159.20 mph 8. Jake Zemke (Hon CBR600RR), 158.96 mph 9. Taylor Knapp (Buell 1125R), 158.85 mph 10. Chris Peris (Hon CBR600RR), 158.79 mph Seems there is a pretty even mix of all manufacturers represented.

Danny Eslick is now the points leader with 109 points. He is 10 points ahead of Jamie Hacking. Bring home the championship. Woowhoo! | ||
| Bads1 |
Thanks Erik,I just went to AMA and looked at the standing's. I can't wait for Road America. | ||
| Bads1 |
BTW Erik thanks for the pic. I'll be doing something with it soon. | ||

As I was watching the live timing, the one thing that jumped out is that Eslick was consistent. His fastest lap was not even in the top five but he must have run a dozen or more 1:30.... laps. The others would hit a 1:29.8 here and there, but then back it up with a 1:31.2. Knapp seems to be finding his way on the Buell. Only .065 from a podium finish. His best time was almost the same as Elsick's at 1:30.021 versus 1:30.028. Chas Davis is also running about the same times as Eslick and Knapp with a best at 1:30.036. He had an off lap 1:34 something about mid-race that pushed him back in the pack. Knapp pasted him around that time. I can't wait to see the race in two weeks, ugh. SO IF A RIDER IS MORE CONSISTENT, LAP IN LAP OUT, IS THAT THE BIKE OR THE RIDER? | ||
| Bads1 |
I'd have to say both. Can't be consistent without a bike being setup well for the rider. Danny seem's to fit the Buell like a glove. (Message edited by bads1 on April 05, 2009) | ||

Buell Motor said today via press release that their 1125R is not the beneficiary of biased rules that "message boards and enthusiast websites" have inferred it to be. What is your opinion of the Buell situation? Buell is correct. DMG has devised a set of rules which "allow fair competition among many more brands". Press criticism of the rules or inferring that the rules were created so a Buell could win are a travesty. You should resign from the Fourth Estate. 746 votes (11.5%) DMG devised a set of rules where Buell's twin is allowed in Daytona SportBike but Ducati's similar spec twin is not. With a displacement and horsepower advantage written right into the rules, Buell is now beating the choked-off Japanese 600s, nothing more. Also, Mr. Buell, it might be less hollow for you to spout off about what constitutes the "American way" if the engine in the Buell 1125R wasn't made in Austria. 5759 votes (88.5%) Vote total: 6505 | ||
