First it'll spoil the results. Second if you decide not to watch the race because you know the results, you are going to miss an insanely good race.

Too late. I already came across (won't mention names) post while looking for PRACTICE times before it was edited.

Watch it anyhow! The results don't tell the story. There is some unbelievable talent and racing going on in AMA Pro DSB.

Thanks for the heads-up Anony. Spoilers in Kansas AMA thread have been redacted.

AMA sends out emails (to race/pit members) one hour before the race airs with the headline:
Pegram and Eslick wins...

Sigh...

I enjoyed watching the race anyway. It was great!

After reading some of these posts, I apologize for some of my posts immediately following Mid Ohio, wherein I "Spoiled" things for folks. I didn't realize I was doing wrong...Sorry, lesson learned.

AVC,

The race is being re-aired again this afternoon. Todays races will air tonight.

I sure with Jason Pridmore was still doing the technical color commentary. He was head and shoulders above "The Chief".

Why does Scott Russell have to mention 18 times in a 20 lap race that the Buell has more power on the straights!!!

I am not sure if that is entirely accurate either. Following his logic, Buells should have done better at Infineon.

I don't know...Eslick was FLYING down that front straight. He made numerous passes there.

One good thing he pointed out, was that the other Buells are not dominating. I think he is trying to give credit to Eslick's riding (which is NUTS!).

Annoying is how they had NO worthwhile video of Cardenas's crash even though it was during the battle for the lead. I HATE how all of the action happens on commercial break. Couldn't they re-cut the recording and move the commercials to "follow the leader" portions?

That was annoying!

And I agree with Doerman too. But it was pretty comical when Danny got past Cardenas through the twisty stuff; Russel was choking on his words and muttered something about how well the Buell is handling there too. LOL.

Danny was able to pass fairly easily going into turn 1 and it didn't seem like anyone was close to being able to draft past him there. They could hang onto his draft, but the Buell was pulling strongly. The thing really does jump off the corner exits extremely well. It may be the strength in corner exits as much as or even more so than any power advantage that gives him an advantage down the long straights. The poor little 600's are running themselves off the track trying to keep up. Maybe if they jack the rev limit up to 20,000 they'll be able to hang with Slick.

The race one 'tribute' to Bruce Rossmeyer was class.
The 'slip' by Russell, calling Danny's bike a "Harley---oops Buell,sorry" was kinda funny though. That's at least twice now.

Snowscum, they showed the pass on yellow on a replay. The 10 points dock was fitting, IMHO.

Yeah, they could have dq'ed him like Daytona. I think Danny caught a break actually. It would be horrible if the handful of points he lost at Daytona (I want to say he was 13th or so before the dq) and Kansas come back to be the difference in the championship? In any case, it should be a GREAT 4 races remaining. Who would have thunk it?

Eslick is about to put this chase to bed with a few more victories.

Which leads me to my next thought. Might we see Eslick on a Buell RR next season?

Court, do you have a DVR. Speed usually replays the races at some point mid-day during the week.

I have it on DVR. Not sure how I can get that to DVD for you. I could save it and you could come watch it. I think you are SOMEWHAT local.
