[QUOTE="super rat, post: 774090, member: 22550"] I got this from motodrive: I was in Salinas tonight, here's what I saw: 1st moto Alessi got the holeshot and MC got a 3rd place start. Alessi opened up a gap right away, then MC got into second. MC caught up to Alessi's rear wheel, and they stayed the same until the checkers, Alessi taking the win. They high-fived after the race. 2nd moto Alessi got the holeshot again, this time Mcgrath got a second place start I believe. Mcgrath showed Alessi a wheel about 5 times early. Then Jeremy went for a block pass, but Alessi squared back underneath, just like Ron Ron did to Bubba. Over the next jump, Mike looked back at McGrath and gave a hand gesture. The next lap MC went for the block pass in the same turn, and Alessi squared underneath again. Mike took the win by a couple bike lengths. He turned around to high-five MC, and MC pulled his hand up in a backhand bitchslap position, dissing Mike. Apparently Jeremy didn't like the lack of respect from Mike looking back at him and cutting him off. Jeremy then had words with some fat dude that was coaching Alessi from the sidelines. At first I thought it was Tony Alessi, but later I saw Tony, so I wonder who the fat dude was. The last event was the "Bounty Hunter" race, where the top riders started in a grid, the top qualifier (Alessi) starting in last place, McGrath starting 2nd to last. McGrath sliced through the field fast, Alessi going with him. Mcgrath came through the pack better than Mike did. Once McGrath got into the lead, it was another 2 laps or so before Mike got into 2nd. By that time, Jeremy had about 3 seconds on Mike. Mike narrowed the gap a little bit to maybe 2 seconds, McGrath took the win. Overall, they both looked just about the same speed-wise, I think Alessi was faster in the two rythum sections, and MC was faster leading up to the triple and through the whoop section. McGrath is smart with his lines, he makes up time with them. But dang, Alessi looked VERY fast, and his supercross technique looked great. Vincent Blair took 3rd place in all three races. Jeff Alessi was racing the intermediate class, he mopped up in the first moto. In the second moto I left to the bathroom, when I left he was in the lead, when I got back he wasn't on the track. I don't know if he crashed, had a mechanical, or what. I have to say right now Mike looks a good bit smoother than Jeff. Jeff looks fast, but Mike looks like he has it dialed. You gotta give the kid credit he is only 15 and out there on a big bike mixing it up with the big boys, if only Bubba had half the sac.... [/QUOTE]
