AMA Road Atlanta Races
YOU HAVE TO WATCH the Road Atlanta Races when they are on SPEED. You will not be disapointed. The Formula Extreme and Superbike races on Saturday were the best races I HAVE EVER seen

Re: AMA Road Atlanta Races
So you want to be a racer?! Wow, I can't remember which race it was but this poor guy got his suit warmed up by someone's rotor/tire! I couldn't believe someone passed THAT close where their freaking tire and rotor is literally rubbing away at the other's leathers. Yes, that guy moved over to let him pass. It's tough enough with those speeds, but to be that leaned over and see someone else's front tire by your face/rubbing your leathers?

Anyone else see that? Can't remember which race (so many this weekend) but the announcers even commented on the "close pass".

Suprised he moved over. When I was young and raced dirt track we typically came in with tire marks on the bike. While the speeds were lower, we were amatuers. The worst part though was a couple of people you had to watch or they would downshift you

Re: AMA Road Atlanta Races
Are you guys saying that I actually did record the AMA races but that they were preceiced by 15 minutes of inbreading before each race? I'll have to go recheck the tape! I thought all that I got was a MotoGP race followed by 2 hours of inbreading, then 2 hours of SBK. BTW, last lap of the second SBK race was awsome!

WHERE'S WALDO...er...COLIN BLOW EDWARDS?

They even interrupted the interview afterwards a few times with that nascar live stuff so I would go back and check your tape if you tapped straight through you should have it all
