14:23, it looks like Cory got shot out of a cannon. Dang.

Reep,

Rickey Corey misread his pit board and thought the race was over. He rolled off the throttle thinking he was on a cool down lap. Obviously, he was not.

That makes a LOT more sense.

Bummer, they were having a great race up to that point, it would have been great to see how it would have gone toe to toe. Looks like Rickey was getting held up by the rider Cory eventually also passed also.

(And I wish Cory West was named Cory Ricky, so we could have heard the very good announcers that were on that clip say "Rickey Corey was passed by Cory Ricky, wait, Rickey got back around Cory, no wait, Cory Ricky slammed the door on Rickey Corey!"...)

If you noticed Cory ran of in the dirt about half way and had to play catch up.

Thank you, Reep. It's increadibly difficult to call the races at Sears Point because from the tower, we can not see turns 2, 3, 3a, 4, 5 and most of 6. We also can not see one critcal part of 11 because the garages are in the way and frankly, the bikes look sooooo small. Numbers are near impossible to read unless they are coming past start/finish.

Sunday was much easier for about half the races because we had live feed from the Cameras from MAVTV that were filming the pro races.

The other rider in the mix was Jeremy Toye. That tells you the level of competion out there.

The announcing was head and shoulders above anything I have ever heard on a televised AMA race.
