Daytona

[SPman]

Well, its the annual speedweek at Daytona, Florida. Who's going to win the Daytona 200 this weekend? My pick would be Matt Mladin, now he's on a GSXR 1000. Apparently is putting out just over 200 bhp! Should be just the stuff - he was good on a 750 (AMA champ 3 times), but apparently he LOVES the 1000! Should be a good race:bigthumb:

(gratuous violence R6 style!)

Honda's Miguel DuHamel won the 62nd Daytona 200, a classic three-way drafting battle for victory. Miguel was in third place leaving the chicane on the last lap but passed both of his teammates, Kurtis Roberts and Ben Bostrom, to earn a masterful win. fficeffice" />>>

Bostrom crossed the line second, ahead of Roberts. Suzuki's Aaron Yates was fourth after an inspiring ride on an untamed Suzuki GSX-R1000 that seemingly tried to toss him to the sky the entire race.>>

Kawasaki's Eric Bostrom rode a solid race for fifth place.>>

Early leader Mat Mladin began to fade around lap ten. He finished in sixth over 1:20 behind the leaders with suspected tire problems. Ben Spies was seventh.>>

Well. looks like the Vtwins still rule!
