A3 rider list...

I think Short's in at Kranyak Racing and Hansen is out but maybe Hansen's still racing, we'll see if he shows up this weekend. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if this winds up being JS7's last race for 2013. Barcia and Tomac are dinged up. Barcia may sit this one out, won't know till Saturday.

Please pick the top five 450 guys in the order you think they will finish, plus the tenth place 450 guy and the top five 250 guys in the order you think they will finish. Grazie.

Oakland rider list...

RV kinda hauling the proverbial ass last weekend... zoom, zoom. Click to enlarge if ya wanna.

Stewart's pretty much caned everybody at this place the last two years (riding that wonky Yamaha, no less) but I don't think there's a three-peat there in his future, that gimpy knee and soft track surface don't favor the Seven's current condition. Also, those of us (which is me) here at HQ feel this weekend is gonna be Roczen's best chance to put it to Tomac, we (I) just feel the Oakland track (soft, rutted) suits the 94's riding style more so than Tomaco's.

 Wonder who Short is going to ride for this weekend. I heard he may be pitted out of Hansen's truck but who knows.

Please pick the top five 450 guys in the order you think they will finish, plus the tenth place 450 guy and the top five 250 guys in the order you think they will finish. Grazie.

Miscellaneous...

Figure A.

Figure B.

For my money, the Sweet & Low upholstery truck (Figure A.) will always be the superior mode of overland narco-trafficking.

It's no wonder the vehicle in the lower photos (Figure B.) was intercepted and it's illicit cargo confiscated by the authorities. I can plainly see several red flags in Figure B, not the least of which are the 20 + inches of rear wheel travel on that YZ and the gas can sans filler tube. Amateurs.

A Deux scores...

Fare thee well o' mighty Fourteen! (*Fun fact, did you know that in the Dutch-Hungarian culture Kevin Windham is known as Kevin Widmen? It's true! The more you know...)

Karlsbad Kewl Krew in full effect Brah! Admitted jerks KBK and thermann, through some form of collusion or improper team selection, manage to cheat their way to the top of the podium. They are joined this week by a young man who's proving to be a formidable competitor in his own right - Maxwell.
I, in my infinite wisdom nab 2nd, while Old Man Reed, Old Man Shakestar, Old Man MOrris and Old Man ZC96 tie for 3rd. Maxosity and thermann pick the 10th place dude this week. Duglie is the victim of rule #6.14 yet again.

1. KBK - 60 points / 5 exacts, 2 top fives.

1. Antho - 60 points / 3 exacts, 3 top fives and the 10th place dude.

Alright, if this keeps up will someone please kneecap Max. The lil' bastardo continues to run the red plate this week. Jay gains some company in 2nd place this week, as I move up the standings ('cause I'm awesome) unfortunately, KBK totally bites my steez and moves up too (f#ckin' queerbait). Zach stays consistent and now occupies 3rd all by himself. The rest of you fight over the scraps. FOOLS!

A2 rider list...

If any of you had told me before the season started that after two rounds Milsaps, Barcia and Canard would be the top three guys with Reed in 4th, Dungey in 5th and RV and Stewart 7th and 9th respectively. I would have thought - My, you're very eloquent and then I would have said 'Lay off the paca lolo ya dirty hippie'.

Please pick the top five 450 guys in the order you think they will finish, plus the tenth place 450 guy and the top five 250 guys in the order you think they will finish. Grazie.

Overall Scores...

Diana's got a pretty good size noggin'. I'm not complaining, just taking notice. Click on the image to enlarge it if you're so inclined.

Alright, here's how it breaks down after 2 rounds.

Instituted a new rule last week and BOOM just like that three people are hooked by rule # 6.14 which penalizes late/no team entry. In fact, Antho would be out front right now but thanks to a 15 point penalty (Mo and Doug picked up penalties as well) Antho is now in 3rd place overall.

Check out a couple Woempners atop the leaderboard, wonder how long that will last. Zach, HQ and Antho round out this podium.

1. Maxosity798 - 105 points (1 win*)

2. Starflower753 - 100 points (1 win*)

3. ZC96 - 95 points (1win*)

3. HQ - 95 points

3. Antho - 95 points - had 110 points but rule 6.14 strikes (2 wins*)

4. dr336j - 90 points

4. KBK167- 90 points

5. Boxcar - 80 points

6. thermann - 70 points

7. Chieftan - 65 points

8. MOreece - 55 points - had 70 points but rule 6.14 strikes

9. Douglass - 40 points - had 55 points but rule 6.14 strikes

Phoenix Rider List...

Can Millsaps keep the red plate on his bike after this round? Can Jay, Max or Antho still be leading after this round?  Will Boxcar's heavy heart (R.I.P. Huell) cloud his moto judgement this week. Will Ken's love of cryptozoology and his fascination with extraterrestrial life ever diminish? These questions and others may be answered after this Saturday night.

Also, there is a new rule being instituted at this round (and shall be law for all following rounds) and it is rule number 6.14, rule # 6.14 states the following - Have your team picked and posted (or to HQ in some fashion) prior to the first heat race of the evening. For the West coast rounds that's around 7:30 pm for the East coast rounds it's around 4:30 pm. Failure to have your team in on time will result in your team from the previous week being used and a 15 point deduction from your overall series score. Please feel free to e-mail any questions, comments or complaints you may have regarding this issue to thenion@deprattiinc.com , please enter 'I am a racist pedophile!' in the subject line. Thank you and carry on.

Please pick the top five 450 guys in the order you think they will finish, plus the tenth place 450 guy and the top five 250 guys in the order you think they will finish. Danké.

I'm not sure if it's still there but the finest Gentlemen's Club I've ever had the pleasure of occupying a seat at was located just outside of Phoenix. Don't believe me? Ask Kenner, he'll verify.
