Yawn. What was Stewart so fired up about on the podium? Come on Atlanta!! so RC can lay some smack down on 'em. After that race, I don't think KW even has a podium left in him.

 

[Okiewan]

Did it bother you when RC never lost... for years at a time?

 

[Chili]

Can't wait to see the Villo/Lawrence pass. Seems like Villopoto is carrying a chip around on that shoulder from the Amateur days and he's tossing his weight around now that he's the big dog. He took it to Alessi when he got a chance outdoors and now he's po'd at Lawrence for what Lawrence termed a nothing pass.

 

[Reesknight]

Did it bother you when RC never lost... for years at a time?

Yes it did. It was boring then too. Last year has me spoiled :(
It was only fun to me in 96 just to see if MC could actually pull it off.

 

[Moose]

looks good. didn't listen to it tonight, as I want to watch it tomorrow. but i couldn't stay away from the spoiler.

 

[MXobssesed4]

Glad to see J-Law running up there with Villopotto. He's the "hometown hero" where i live.

yes.

they both suck

 

[Okiewan]

yes.

they both suck

And MC? He made it boring before those two.

 

[XRpredator]

And MC? He made it boring before those two.

yes. until Emig had a flash of brilliance.

Don't tell me you wouldn't prefer watching a race where nobody was a lock.

If every SX was like Anaheim 86, I'd be a happy fan

thats the best KW has done all year, he has been getting a little better each round, I don't think a podium is that out of the question for him this year, escpecially in the non RC rounds, he just needs to get up there before preston gets healed or DV quits tasting dirt

I'm thinking that he just missed his best opportunity to get on the box. He was in the lead at one point and couldn't fight off Ferry. If he didn't get it that time, it highly raises my doubts that he'll get one all year.

 

[MXobssesed4]

Remember though, Tim Ferry wasn't a podium rider until he got on Factory Kawasaki, mmmmm, suspicious isn't it. Maybe his bike just a tad better than K-Dub's

 

[Mxrider26x]

Can anyone else not stand Ralph Shaheen? He is so annoying.

Ferry has been battling injuries for 3 seasons now and is finally healthy again. K-Dub is on a full fledged factory Honda so I doubt the bike is an issue.

 

[Pydor]

I am just looking forward to 2009, when RV get on a 450!! I know Horse before the Cart, But got to get excited about something. :nener:

So you are looking forward to the next "no doubt who is going to win" era? What's wrong with the current one, or the last 2?

 

[Pydor]

Well nothing is wrong with the first of the last two, but the last one just came on the scene to cocky in the beginning and I just have not forgot that! The GOAT is still da man..

 

[rickyd]

Frisco may of been RC's last SX win. I think Reed will at some point take it to Stewart, and not by Stewart crashing out.

How much longer will Hansen be on a Factory bike?

 

[Chili]

Frisco may of been RC's last SX win.

That would be my thoughts as well.

I think Reed will at some point take it to Stewart, and not by Stewart crashing out.

Don't put any money on that one :)

How much longer will Hansen be on a Factory bike?

When does the 125 West end? :laugh:

Every Magazine I have come across raved about the KXF450's power. It ranked higher than any other bike. IMO, somethings up because i dont feel a healthy Tim Ferry should be on the podium ahead of guys like K-Dub. Is Sobe Samsung factory?

 

[dirt bike dave]

While Ferry does not have quite the career accomplishments of Windham, he is no slouch. He was runner-up to RC in the 2002 outdoor season and has finished the season as high as 5th in 250SX (2003). He also has a Lites SX championship to his credit (1997).

It is great to see him back at peak form. No doubt Ferry's bike is fast, but thats not the only reason he is beating Windham. Ferry is highly motivated this year and his riding proves it.

 

[Chili]

NO, Is Windham's bike Factory? Yes.

No doubt that Ferry is a good rider, i just dont feel that he's on the same or should be on the same level as Winhdam.

 

[Mxrider26x]

Just on a note about Chad Reed at this race. It seemed to me that it was more him having a bad race than stewart being insanely fast (which also happened), because reeds times were near Ferry and Windham's times, which does't regularly happen.
