OT: What a race

Well I was finally gonna get a chance to see a tape of the f1 race....so Tuesday night I fired up the TV and WHAT a race! 6 competitors nose to tail for almost the entire race. Lead changes all over the place. A track that rewards sheer speed. Then the leader lost the race in the last 10 feet when his tire broke loose. It was AMA Superbikes on Speedvision...now that I caught that exciting event, I'll go watch the f1 tape....think it will compare? From start to finish a fantastic battle. dave henrie

Yep. And next year they'll butcher the track and it'll be another Magny Cours! Hooray to F1! Dave Henrie wrote:

That must have been the race at Brainerd where the lead changed twice in the final corner! Great race!!!

The kid that lost the lead Curt Roberts I think, any relation to King Kenny.

Son, and that makes him the brother of the current 500cc GP champion Kenny Roberts Jr. "Bruce Benette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Five kids were racing their tricycles around the block yesterday. Close battle between all five until one of them hit a newspaper and barrel rolled four times. The other four were neck and neck right up to the finish line. Now that's racing! F1 is over for me.

Miguel DuHammel ....son of Yvon DuHammel of Canada land finished third by .000000000000001 over Matt Mladin.(Aussie,?) Yvon was the first sucessful Kawasaki road racer in the States..back in the 70's. . Certainly AMA doesn't have the history of F1 but as I recall, at least one if not more sucessful Motorcycle road racers also did well in F1. Is F1 over? no...but a good race CAN be 5 kids on trikes. I hadn't planned on watching the AMA race. I'm glad I did. At least they don't have to worry about cooking an engine while refuelling. Come to think of it...most other series don't either. ;) I'm a race fan first...a series fan second...to focus on ONE type of racing over all others would only limit my enjoyment. btw...I did enjoy the F1 race after the cycles. dave henrie "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%oY97.58361$[email hidden]... > Five kids were racing their tricycles around the block yesterday.

I was just poking fun, nothing morel. I enjoy reading your posts. BTW, I felt guilty laughing at the poor kid who rolled his bike........until he took off his helmet and I realized it was ymenard. He immediately blamed his mechanics for a too stiff suspension.

Except when it's in HGNS (inside joke). But I'm aggressive.

Dave.... You have waaaaay tooooo much time on your hands if you have time to watch a bike race.....and then make five posts about it. Good golly man, isn't there something not working right on your computer you need to go fix or something else better to do? Hey, how about practicing....you can't be fast at every track in GPL, and every track in N4 and every track in......oh well, you get the point. Tom -:)

Well, I actually wasn't talking about you...<g> Just describing the last Suberbike race I saw on SpeedVision. I like watching the races, but I cringe everytime they bump in the corners, or slide, or.... :-) Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +16.36...Monster +366.59...
