I saw announcements that they kept the whole team together (Greg, Jason and Hannah). I'm pretty sure Jason will be doing the commentary but may not be walking around the pits yet. They'll leave that to Hannah. | ||

Sick race 1. Let's hope the season is as good as the first race. WHen did JD get a ride in Superbike? I will be rooting for him. | ||
| Jaimec |
Okay, I'm happy... no commercial breaks at all during the race! Guess they learned something from beIN! One more thing: Jason looks like he's recovered well from his accident in Australia! (Message edited by jaimec on April 07, 2019) | ||

Yes, I forgot to mention the lack of commercials. Nice, Fox Sports. Thank you! | ||

Well, I didn't have a chance to watch any of the racing this weekend. I subscribed to "MotoAmericaLivePlus" and both yesterday and today all I got was frozen screens and black scseens that said "Cannot read property 'data' undefined." On both my stupid "smart" phone and (older) computer. MotoAmerica and I will be having dialog to establish a cause and solution!! Not happy. | ||

FS2 did an admirable job. Couple typos during the broadcast, but all the important stuff was done properly. | ||
| Jaimec |
Today's race was great but FS2's coverage left a LOT to be desired. At one point they showed the start of the race, then a long commercial break, a repeat of Jason's track analysis and then the start of the race again?? WTF? And the broadcast kept breaking up, at one point I just had a test pattern and tone. Sure hope they get their act together tomorrow! | ||
| Jaimec |
Day 2 coverage was much better, but what is this problem they keep having with the transponders on the bikes?? | ||
| Jaimec |
JD BEACH!!!! | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Love JD. That was cool for him. | ||
| Steeleagle |
I'm still not able to stream races live using the MotoAmericaLive+ option. Time for a refund!! Glad to see JD get a win under his belt. Just wish I could see it live!! | ||
| Fresnobuell |
So, there is an on-demand library available, just the live streaming is not working? | ||
| Steeleagle |
Correct. On computer or phone, no go. I admittedly need an upgraded computer, but the phone is new. On the computer, it plays about 10 seconds and goes freeze frame, never to return. On the phone the feed stops, then either picks up where it left off or jumps ahead to real time. Neither is watchable, but both are annoying!! I can watch archived video, no problem. MotoAmerica IT is VERY quick to respond to emails, but have not offered anything that has changed status. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Interesting. Are they sharing if this is a widespread issue? Have you googled to see if others are reporting the same issues? | ||
| Jaimec |
Looks like you called it, Dennis! Broaster Chicken will sponsor KWR for the next round: https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motoamerica-g enuine-broaster-chicken-to-be-title-sponsor-of-kwr -ducati-team-at-road-america/ | ||

...and chicken at Pittsburgh!! I've had to buy Duc shirts. And now what do I do with the Honda shirts I own?  | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Broaster makes some good chicken. I am still unclear exactly if they have retail stores somewhere in the Country, but I would be a fan if they had them here in California. Although the Broaster crew was a bit irritated at us at helping ourselves to the chicken, the chicken itself was freaking delicious late on Sunday afternoon at the Motorcycle races! | ||
| Jaimec |
One year at NJMP they were just giving the chicken away at a food truck. I'm surprised they just don't get a permit and sell food at these races; sure sounds like they're giving up a huge opportunity! | ||
| Jaimec |
Use them when washing your car or your bikes, I guess... | ||
| Jaimec |
That didn't take long. FS2 interrupted the middle of the race yesterday for a commercial break.  | ||
| Jaimec |
So sue me... I got a kick out of this video: | ||

I luv me some Q3s. Best tire ever IMHO. Not sure why more people don't use Dunlops. Great tires and obviously 100% American made. | ||
| Jaimec |
I wonder if they offer tours of the factory to ordinary people? I have a set of GPR300s ready for my Zero. I actually bought them for my 2016, but the bike was totaled in an accident before I could install them. Since they were wrapped up in plastic, I decided to hang on to them since I KNEW I was going to get another Zero. I figured as long as I had an American-made bike, I should use American-made tires on it. As an aside, my new Yamaha XMAX comes with Dunlop's Scootsmart tires. According to the owner's manual, they're the ONLY tires Yamaha recommends for this bike, too. | ||

Dunlop is the tire supplier for Moto 2 and Moto 3. I have found that very interesting with all of the other options at Dorna's disposal. | ||
| Jaimec |
Tech3 used to run Dunlop tires before the spec-tire era came into play. They were the only ones. | ||

Hey Tim! Just saw the good news at RoadRacingWorld.com: http://tinyurl.com/y4ro2yvw | ||

NO Eslick this weekend. Shame. Although last year he showed up privateer style with a box trailer located in the back 40 of the paddock. Took us a while to find him... Not sure why he could never have the success on the Superbikes after dominating the 600 class.. | ||
| Jaimec |
I was wondering how they were going to do this. Interesting reading: https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/world-superbi kemotoamerica-jd-beach-has-successful-test-ahead-o f-double-duty-weekend-at-laguna-seca/ | ||

Hey Dennis and Tim: Looking forward to seeing you guys again in Pittsburgh next month. Be nice to be there on two wheels instead of two crutches this year, too! | ||

Room reserved. Chicken is a possibility!! See you there! |
