Every once in a while I think it's important to revisit the Chadapult to remind ourselves how tough and how crazy these guys are:

What a great night of racing!
Holy smokes did Tomac get lucky with that crash!!!
Webb is starting to dig out of his 24 point hole. He is only down 17 points now. I REALLY hope he gets another win and can get the points deficit down to single digits. Cooper Webb with 31 SX wins. He is only 3 behind tying Mr Consistency (Ryan Dungey).
Deegan with the 1-1-1. DAMN that guy is STRONG. He seems to have more strength than everyone else in the 250 class to pull the bike back when it gets 'upset' by any slight bobble. Other guys slow down when the bike kicks out, or they come up short. He keeps going the same speed regardless of what happens. I wonder what his strength training program consists of. Kitchen is the only one I thought might be close to his speed, but he can't run that pace the full distance.

Great racing in the 450s. Glad to see Webb make some progress finally instead of just floundering about towards the back of the top 10. Hopefully this gets him fired up.

7pm races are the best change they have made!
Kenny getting the win was awesome
Hunter with the number one plate! I think Hunter is a real threat this year with his consistency. One fourth and the rest 2nd.

Just give Deegan the trophy and let everyone go home. He's ready for a 450.
Love seeing Ken win.

^^^ Agree 100%. Deegan definitely worked hard in the off season and improved noticeably. 5 rounds in and he already has a 27 point lead. Kitchen is now down 40 points! He will clearly be ready when he moves up to 450SX in 2027.
Crazy how quickly things change with a 1st turn crash. Tomac now DOWN 8 points.
Five rounds in and Hunter with the points lead and no wins. Kind of crazy. I didn't think he would be in the title fight.
I was hoping to see Webb turn it up the last few minutes like he use to do regularly. That more than anything makes me think maybe he doesn't have it this year. Still only 5 rounds in though, so he could still turn up the speed in the last half of the season.

Yeah, I was hoping for a late charge from Webb too, but when the gap started growing around half race, I gave up on that idea. I think he was happy with a podium and didn't wanna take any risks fighting for a long shot 2nd place.

Went to Big Buck GNCC this past weekend and stood in a down pour for 9hrs. Hats off to these warriors in flood conditions. Awesome racing just hard to tell them apart when everyone is the same color! I'm really pulling for Stew this year. May be his last real shot at a championship. These fast kids are coming!

Man Shimoda got screwed last week. No idea if it was a technical flag coincidence, or a bad call by the AMA (seems like a bit of both?) but WTF. Same for Hunter, fortunately he did manage to keep the lead and win.
Regardless, I’m quite stoked for this weekend. Daytona Supercross AND MotoGP is back!!! Probably the best weekend of the year for Motor-Sickle racing in my opinion.

The AMA calls on this are so fucking stupid.
Flashing red, but it doesn't mean there is something coming up, it means something may be coming up, or it might not be? Oh and then we forgot the flashing red, so it is okay to jump. So if we forget to warn you can jump, but if we do warn you and there is nothing again, also it's okay to jump. So we will just give you a flashing red, just to see if you are paying attention!

Maybe it was AI, I cant keep up with what is and isn't on some of this shit, but there was one photo of a red cross pretty much being waved in their faces on the finish line jump in recent weeks.
You're a better man than I. The broadcast looked great from my shop
Might head down to Camp Coker and run the 10AM...considering I haven't ridden the bike since that race last year, it seems like a great decision. @DSM Turbos said he was going to go too.

I must have said that in my sleep, but if I did I guess I have to go now.
Seriously though, I might consider it, people were trying to get me to go to the Beta demo day at NCMP that weekend. Sandy stuff will kill my battery though!

Not sure what the guy that won Open E last year at Coker was on but I would bet a Stark. He did 2.5 hours for 3 laps. 2nd did a little less than 1.5 hours and did 2 laps.
Hell yeah. I'll be a fair weather rider. If it looks like a mudder, I'm out. The days of framing a bike after each race just for a piece of plastic or plywood are long gone.
