That would be nuts to have KRJR on the pole. Thing is, probably won't stay that way.

Looking at those standings, I'd say that the earth's gravitational fields have changed and up is left and down is right. This race is always great!

Junior will always do better in the wet. Old California, dirt track, back it in, who cares if it's sliding around, rear wheel steer, school of riding -
Schwantz, Rainey, Spencer, and the King, his dad, all came from the same school.

Despite the anti-Roberts stance of some check the point standings. Roberts has been about 8th every race. While not a poll sitting that is not bad for a bike that was developed very late. New rider and new significantly different engine at the last second.

[onevcs]

This is gonna be the best race of the year!!!!

[HondaGalToo]

Yeah, it's gonna be a barn burner. I've got my pretzels and beer ready. I hope Nicky does a lot better than he did in practice.... GO NICKY!!!

[tikki50]

yeha really you can't keep the points lead by placing 10th, that doesn't help at all.

[clutchslip]

Holy sheeet.....I just checked.
Both these practices were in the DRY.
Go team Roberts.
New chassis, new engine and a 185 lb rider.
Oh, yeah, come-on. Prove me, right. It would be nice for a change.

P.S. KRJr. ran faster than Rossi's record lap from last year.

[Tornado bait]

It's going to be a great Father's Day......4 hours of racing.

[Repeater]

Looky KR on on front row and Hopper 2!!!!!

Go KR
