Hey Scott is Ben Townley riding today?

[scott411]

Coops up now in his first practice

[scott411]

Cody 4th in his first practice (group B) would put him approx 20th overall when added to the first group, still one group left to go,
top 40 overall go to the night show

Bubba 1st overall,
then Vilapoto 2nd
then Reed

[Teava]

Hey Scott is Ben Townley riding today?

Townley is scheduled to be back for the Daytona round

[scott411]

Hey Scott is Ben Townley riding today?

no, news online today is that he is hoping to be back riding by the end of feb,

[Teava]

Dam RV is quick!! only around 1 sec behind JS!! looks like he beefed out a little as well, to muscle the 450 around no doubt

[scott411]

i thought Bubba is pretty impressive being 1 sec out, it is a fair bit,
Chad is right on RV tho,

i did not think RV would be on chad just yet, few people off the pace to, Windom is a fair bit back,

looks like only a couple of quicker guys in heat C, Coops team mate Jsoh Grant is quick, and Coisy,

[Katoomer]

Thanks for putting the link up Scott. I've tried to get it through the AMA site but it seems to be working worse than usual.
I see theres no webcast now but you can watch it live if you have the cable channel SPEED.
Obviously the Yanks don't consider the rest of the world a worthwhile audience.

[FlangMasterJ]

That's impressive for Villopoto to be in second already. Can't wait to watch it.
