Bubba's crash at Daytona

http://www.zippyvideos.com/7441181964239836/untitled/

He got up and finished 6th but was lapped by Carmichael.He is one tough kid.

He went down like a freakin rag doll. If he would just settle down and stay on the bike he would be winning constantly. Chad is the man as well, if he really did dislocate his shoulder and then race on it a couple days later that is some serious dedication.

Get well soon Ernie

Now you just KNOW that hurt...

He's really had some bad luck lately, thats too bad. I really wanted him to take that one. Maybe next time.

This season has been very fun to watch

Yes it has, but I honestly think RC has it locked up. Giving him that 25pts back was weak

Technically Chad or BS can still win it, but RC knows the game, he will just play it safe, stay in the top 3 and lock it down.

It's going to be wild for the outdoor series though

Why do you think it was weak giving RC his points back?

Because he (his team) broke the rules, he should have to suffer the same fate Chad and Bubba have in the past. They stated the lead content was exceptionally high, and retested the sample taken from his tank a few times. If you break the rules, you get punished. I think him crying and throwing a fit to get the points back was lame.

Im not sure closely you followed the story.The rule is .005 grams per liter,this is an FIM rule that the AMA adopted.This is suppose to let privateers run pump gas.But infact some parts of the country they use .013 grams per liter at the pump.The rule for the privateer to get affordable gas via the pump is gone.The crazy part is .017(rickys level) amounts to 1/8 of an ounce of lead in a 55 gallon drum!Four strokes do not run better from lead if you want to cheat you run oxygen and there oxygen was the lowest of all bikes tested.Most 450 Bikes are detuned to run cooler power is not an issue.
As for CR,DV,JBS and Michael Byrne none of those affected a championship.I know that doesn't make it okay but it was a bs rule then and a bs rule now.The offical word from the yamaha and Kawasaki tests was the drum was sealed with lead and it seaped in the gas.
The one thing in commen with all the tests was VP fuels.

I am no fuel expert i just followed it real closely and relayed it the best I could.The AMA blows......
