Miguel's windscreen...
Have you guys ever seen anything like that, or have it happen to you? (Got a rock through it)

It's funny watching the AMA race right after watching Moto GP. It really makes everything about AMA look minor league.

Had a puck hit my faceshield once pulling out of the draft at ~ 140. Not the least bit fun whatsoever . . .

Yes I had a rock bust my windscreen (sport tech those thick ass ones) apart like that, it then bounced off the tank and hit my shoulder. Reason #2 never follow a vehicle too closely.

My 929 threw a rock at my friend's 929 one day. Broke the Zero Gravity DB screen just like Miguels. Wasn't even a very big rock.

I had to think about that for a couple of seconds before I realised you were talking about a Knee puck. You know, with Hockey and all.

yeah, I thought about editing the post, but figured I would leave it up in the air (you know, 140 mph puck, hockey faceshield, drafting the left winger etc.).

The ama/speed annoucers are diffenitely slower to see the action and nowhere near as fun to listen to as the GP annoucers.
