I'm gonna try and get up early tomorrow and not miss the first race. Gonna be hard, didn't get to bed until 3.30am last night and tonight is going to be a late one watching the Warriors on Prime, and Josh in MX1 if I can find some links to follow the racing.

www.youthstream.org has a live lap chart that is normaly reliable.

Cool thanks, thats what I used to use but for some reason the pages always show gobledegook these days. Must be my browser settings or something. I can't view the Herald on this laptop either, and I just junked my PC.

Just checked it out and it all shows up fine. In fact I see Tony Cooksly just won the first Veterans race. What a legend that guy is. I used to look up to Tony when I was racing in the 80's. I used to think "that old guy sure is fast!" He was 27 at the time. Now he is over 50 I believe. And still smokin!

BT 6th in first race at Steel city, three places behind Villopoto.
Hope he wins the next race

Yeah, missed the 1st race again but the track is a quagmire and RV came back from a 1st lap crash to 3rd and was something like 4 seconds a lap quicker than anyone else. Ben came back from 35th to 6th and now trails RV in the points.
A big pile up at the start, guess Ben was involved in that too. All three Pro Circuit guys were in that 1st turn crash I've just found out.
Next race lining up now.

uick report on moto 1s:

Lites:

A huge pileup first turn, looked like it started with Canard. Villopoto and Townley were at the bottom and got going nearly last. Villopoto charged a little harder and took the points lead. Hepler won the moto.

Pre race warm up lap under way.

Ben has the 1st gate pick due to setting the fastest practice times.

**Danger** · 27th August 2007, 07:32

1st race Ben did not take a sighting lap. A mistake according to the commentators as the track is changing so much due to the conditions. He is doing a sighting lap for this race.

Ok lined up on the gate, ready for the start. Ben needs to beat RV to peg back some points for the Championship.

They are off, riders down, RV has the holeshot.
