James is back.

I'm really looking forward to Bubba's return.  I'm curious to see if he can hang with RC & CR.  I think that they have really picked up the pace over the last 8 races and I don't think that any amount of "practice" time will have Bubba running that kind of pace.  We all know that he is fast but he has yet to run a 250 SX event so he still has a lot to prove.  I just hope he doesn't push too hard just to try and prove something.  He has plenty of time to prove himself and I would hate to see him get hurt again.  Not that I think he got hurt because he was trying to prove something because I don't.  I just think the pace is a lot faster than it was at the beginning of the season when he crashed and I want to see him stay healthy.

well just got back from the race.

Bubba looked great, and he was definately the fastest. Its no secret that either he would win or crash, and crash it was. I wasnt too bumed, I'm just happy to see him riding. He was catching RC fast again, then someone crashed at the triple and Stewart had to roll it, and RC was gone again. You can always expect Reed to ride mistake free, and it pays off.

Good job Davi on the 125 win. Langston needs to stop making excuses and just say he wasnt fast enough. He said he was stuck in 2nd gear, which could be true, but he sure was wining about it alot after the race. I don't really think it would have changed the outcome.

In practice, Bubba was doin jumps nobody else could, then they built up some lips, and made the jumps possible for everyone else.

That's too bad that Bubba went down.  I would really like to see how he handles preasure from Reed or RC....that is....if they can catch him when he is out in front.  Reed doesn't make very many mistakes and a lot of times that is what makes the difference.  You can be the fastest guy in the world but if you can't keep the rubber side down you usually won't win if Reed is right behind you.

I wish they were showing the race on TV today instead of next weekend.  But instead they are showing women's NCAA basketball.....whoopie....

oh but they make up for their inablility to dunk with good fundamentals 

I forgot to mention RC also went down, but he got going faster. Bubba went down in the whoops and was facing backwards, and he had to wait for RC to go by before he turned his bike around.

Props to Reed. He was the most consistent. He really deserves it.
Unlucky for Ricky and James. I would love to see a real 3 way battle.
