Uhhh OKAY!(wonder what the bossman is up to!?)
You would think he would sack up in practice and figure out how to match James in a section where James is Triple-Triple-Triple and pulling a second/lap as a result. Instead he burns his huge lead the entire main event and then decides to start jumping that section the same as James after he has already been passed. It probably wouldnt have mattered anyway, James would have found some other way to make up the time.
Chad almost showed some fire for the first couple of laps after getting passed but it didnt last long for James to put a few bike lengths between them.

right you are, but that didnt win him the race, even after that great holeshot. im a JBS fan, and id love to know what was going through Chad's mind when he saw #7 behind him. props to Stewart also, another fantastic job after a horrible start :cool: .
He did seem to try harder,after he got passed,for a little bit. Interesting start method and looked good for 8 laps or so.Never seen him triple out of the corner after the whoops,he was doing some casing trying to keep up! He is charging hard to the corner and not carrying enough speed to keep with JS.

James did find a different way to make up time. The first and only time he did the triple, triple, triple, was the 14th lap for the pass. When asked why he waited until that lap he said it was just too sketchy and he hoped he would not have to do it at all.JST122 said:
It was good to see him not cry and whine, maybe his PR people have been reading all the message boards. Every one you go to has a thread about what a whiny crybaby he is.
He did sound like a beaten man though. I think it is finally sinking in that unless James crashes at the end of the race, Chad will not win. Had that been Ricky in the lead, he would have gapped 2nd as fast as he could. Chad had to be getting signals from his pit board letting him know how fast James was coming and he still didn't sack up and build a big enough lead. Maybe he now realizes he won't beat James, no matter what he does.

If James will just get a bad start EVERY race, the remainder of this season might be interesting afterall...
So what exactly happened to Stewart on the start?? Any chance he loli-gagged off the start on purpose just to mess with Reed?? Doubt it, but would be funny if true...

I was wondering the same thing...... how long can you keep race's exciting when the camera just follows James around the track like 10 min ahead of the field. Who cares though, I guess it was still more exciting to see him win from about dead last.

Great race for JBS!
He is something special. Nobody else racing today could have done that. It will be interesting to see if Bubba goes into championship protection mode.
Reed's title hopes are over unless Bubba gets hurt.

Sounds like Reed was crying about Sorby after the race. The crybaby whiner is getting better, but he couldn't resist finding something to cry about yesterday:
News Eric Sorby
Hey everyone, This weekend was a good weekend for me, I got 5th in my heat race and after coming from dead last in the main event I ended up 13th overall. I need to clairify something before rumors get ugly. I heard how Chad Reed was complaining about me because I am always in his way because I am friends with James Stewart. Being friends with another rider doesn't mean i do his dirty work for him. I focus on my riding and my career. Not Jame's or anyone else's. In San Francisco, I never saw Chad and I was keeping my line in the outside. This weekend I guess he complained (no surprise), because this time I was in the inside like the pictures show. There is nothing I can do anymore. Do I need to go off the track when I see him? i dont think so. I also blocked James before the triple and I didn't mean it. It's all part of racing, if you make a mistake people automatically assume you did it on purpose. I honestly respect Chad, he is a very good rider. I like watching him ride because he has so much talent and I respect him like a champion. But when he disrespects some riders, like Tedesco in the past , or RC last week on the Racerx.com and me again, I dont really feel as though it fair. I am not here to cry about it but just here to clear things up before it affects me and my reputation. Stewart doesn't need anyone to help him for the championship, to me he is most talented rider. RC is not here anymore, and i think it's Jame's turn to step up in the reigns and take over...is that what makes Chad mad? who knows, but I just want everyone to know I am not here to help him, i'm here to help myself and become a better rider. I don't worry about anyone else's racing career but my own and that's the bottom line. All the rider's do what they have to, to be where they are at right now, and I do the same. Racing is my passion it's been my whole life, and I would never jeporadize in any way. To all my fans out there who have stuck by my side through everything in the years, I want to specially thank you. You are what keeps me going out their on the track. and I will promise to make that 2 -stroke on the main event if not this year then for sure in 08. You can all stick me to it. Thanks again, eric sorby

Chad said that about sorby a long time ago after the A3 race when Reed was pretty close in speed with Stewart. Sorby jacked him pretty bad during the race.
Yep, that is a current statement. If you read what Sorby said, he even mentioned the previous issue.Okiewan said:
Just more of Chad's crying. If he thinks nobody else should race him, it must really chap his ass that he is nothing more than <b>< ADMIN EDIT: Come on now, that's harsh and not exactly family friendly ></b>
