Wow you have a pretty good memory, after all them years  :lol: 

actually "Old Man" was a quote from Jeff Emig, not my words, but you may know he is the first racer to win a main event in 3 different decades, broke Mike Larocco's record for most years between wins and i think he now holds the record for the most Supercross starts. that would make him about 70 in Supercross years. Next year he will be racing guys that weren't born when he started racing pro.

and what does he do this week?  he wins again, lapping all but 2 bikes, (including Ryan, this years championship winner)

Yep... Bubba did pretty good at Anaheim 1, considering he hasn't raced since Ana.2 last year....  He did a lot better than Reed, who raced some of the outdoor races.  I think he'll be a contender if he stays healthy...

Bubba's BAACCKKK......   :drinks:   I liked how Emig(?) mentioned how he was "tip-toeing" thru the turns, then a couple laps later, Villapoto washed out the front end in the same turn Bubba did it in his heat race, giving Bubba the race....

The first proverb of racing is  to finish first, first you must finish.

You can only hope so for his sake, but it's bad for every one else though. :bad:

That dazed and confused look is starting to be his norm, so they thought he was OK.

If the bike wouldn't have stopped in a different zip code, (doing the double w/o him) he would of finished top five. While riding dazed & confused

He is that fast, the question is, is he that good? to over come these issues

It's always a crapshoot, because you never know what the track layout is going to be until you walk in...

I've had great $10 seats, and crappy $40 ones.

One thing I've learned is not to get too low, or you'll never be able to see the whole track.

These are near the front of the upper deck, so should be a great view of everything.

Not as good as the couple of years I got to sit in the Yamaha suite, though...    :biggrin:

SPOILER ALERT...

Definitely not the same as the RCA Dome (RIP)...  looks like there aren't many bargain seats available.  You get what you pay for.  No bargain parking anymore, either...  $10-20 seems the norm

My seats definitely had a commanding view of the track, but at an odd angle and far, far away.  I could read the numberplates, but barely.

Better racing in the Lites than SX... Stewart looked good in his heat, but got a lousy start in the main, and Villipoto cruised.  Reed even further on back.

I'll do better on seats next year.  No more waiting for dealer comp that don't materialize.     :dash2:
