Pretty damn exciting race weekend! I was there. Maverick and Acosta were both really impressive.
The weather was pretty good -- temps in the mid-80s and humid, no rain but windy on Sat.
Seemed like pretty good attendance this year. I think that may be somewhat attributable to Trackhouse joining the paddock. A lot of people wearing Trackhouse shirts and hats.

Looks like a lot of fun! Was the race well attended?

Also, what are your thoughts on the Liberty Media acquisition?

In the Moto 3 race something happened that I don't remember ever seeing before. A racer trying to take somebody else's bike.

Seemed to be pretty good crowds this year, maybe slightly larger than the past few years.

Not sure the Liberty Media takeover is such a good thing but we'll see. They claim that they're not going to change things. I doubt that's the truth. I don't follow F1 but from news feeds I see it sure sounds like a media and political circus instead of a racing series.

That was hilarious. Ortola thought he was still riding for Level Up, his team from last year.

I'm still holding out for an Indy event.... Maybe the new owners will reconsider?

Quote from: SoCal250 on April 06, 2024, 03:54:57 PMYamaha is now reportedly pursuing adding a satellite team, something they desperately need to keep pace with other brands. There's just not enough data collected and shared with only 2 bikes on the grid.

Latest rumor is that Pramac is considering a switch to Yamaha. VR46 has already turned down Yamaha.
