- 2:31You're on a motorcycle weird people and, you know, we, you
- 2:37know, we cherish those that ride and not to say we don't
- 2:41terrorists those that do not. But it, you know, there's a
- 2:43special bond because we know the risk that it, that that comes
- 2:47with this. And, you know, we, I can't speak
- 2:52for every Rider but, you know, it is.
- 2:55I don't know if I can put into words.
- 2:57What it's like to ride a motorcycle.
- 2:59Just, you just got to do it. It.
- 3:02So you know you know I didn't know I didn't know him but
- 3:05nonetheless it's never good thing so you know but it is

- 3:32of life. It's part of life.
- 3:34Yeah. Just riding have fun being safe
- 3:37out there. So other than that, you know,
- 3:40like I said, feeling good waking up going to work and just
- 3:45looking forward to that time to get on the track again.
- 3:48All right. So so you No, we will jump right
- 3:51into it because you talked about MotoGP is back.
- 3:56So not to take anything any any anything away from motor America
- 4:01or world superbike because that we, you know, I've gotten my
- 4:05fill and I'm loving what's going on in motor America and World
- 4:08Superbike. But there's something special
- 4:11about MotoGP at mode, yellow. Yeah, when Jo is is a fun track?
- 4:16I've never been. I know you've been before but
- 4:19you know, they always hype it up.
- 4:21And for always playing the video game, you know, they try to make
- 4:25it as realistic as possible, right by the funnest track, the
- 4:29play in the game and it's just it's just a fast track and you
- 4:36know, a lot of ups and down Hills.
- 4:38And yeah, I was just this is great time and just watching on
- 4:42TV just to mount up. There there this is must be out
- 4:46of control. Yeah it is out of control.
- 4:49I mean like it's been a while and I think I know if you were
- 4:53just getting hammered it just passing out in the grass.
- 4:57Like you said, you fell asleep. What time?
- 4:59You know and just wake up. I wear.
- 5:01My oh my the track is doing all over again.
- 5:04Yeah, it's just a whole weekend of festivities.
- 5:07It's I think would history of mode yellow and just the track
- 5:12layout. itself but the atmosphere, you know, I've only
- 5:16been to three different MotoGP races and you know Moto Jell-O
- 5:23Jell-O is the second one I went to and, you know, it the
- 5:26atmosphere it's, you know, you see it on TV or on online and,
- 5:35you know, you know, you you've been to Celtics game, you can
- 5:39feel the atmosphere and the Celtics game kind of say is
- 5:42like, Listen Square Garden. You know, everybody wants to
- 5:45play there. Exactly as a player.
- 5:48You know, certain Arenas where like, you know, the Dallas
- 5:52Cowboys Arena, right? Like to certain places that
- 5:55carry a high intensity, you know, you can see it.
- 5:59Yeah. You can see intensity and just a
- 6:02large crowd volume and and outside the arena and you can
- 6:05feel it. And you know, it's, you know,
- 6:09you know, maybe it's like, you know, if you're on stage rocking
- 6:12out to like 20, Thousand people and you feel that energy from
- 6:16the artists on stage, but the crowd may not necessarily feel
- 6:19that when you're in the crowd, you feel that?
- 6:23Yes. You know what I mean?
- 6:24That's, that's the crazy part about it.
- 6:25Like, you know, it like the start-finish.
- 6:28Like you, you feel all of that and it's pretty dope.
- 6:31Yeah, was mentioning Celtics, like, I know our fans are
- 6:36DieHard fan. So if you go to a Celtics,
- 6:38Bruins even Red Sox game, like, when the crowd Roars, I mean,
- 6:43you I mean, it's just. Yeah, so exactly.
- 6:47I mean, we have that luxury, I know I watched like, you know,
- 6:51other sporting events, like a pig on basketball but like
- 6:56certain teams where the arena is not full or even when it is
- 6:59full. I'm like, you know, yeah, I
- 7:01can't even hear. You're on TV, right?
- 7:03You know, like sell this Arena, you can just, you can hear it.
- 7:06You can feel it. So that's what mode yellow is
- 7:08like. So if, if anyone is thinking
- 7:10about going to watch a MotoGP race Go to mode yellow, you
- 7:15know? I mean you know, I'm hoping to
- 7:17get to some other tracks because definitely you know I think it's
- 7:20just it's difficult. Wait that's a difficult when you
- 7:24have a hundred thousand people in this space, right?
- 7:27The energy has to be ridiculous. We're only here for one thing,
- 7:30right? Yeah.
- 7:31You know, I'm saying, so it's really, I think a lot of other
- 7:34places when the crowd is that, that, you know, 100,000 plus,
- 7:38it's a whole different world than when it's at like 60
- 7:41thousand or fifty thousand or something.
- 7:43That, you know what I mean? So, you know, so yeah.
- 7:46So, you know, Spain and you know, the UK and France,
- 7:51Australia. And these places got to be
- 7:53ridiculous. Japan can imagine.
- 7:55I mean, like, we have these type of environments like the Celtics
- 7:59game but then we got timeouts halftime shows other performers,
- 8:03you know, this is like strictly everyone's here to watch, you
- 8:07know, moto2, moto3 MotoGP. Yeah, a show.
- 8:13So yeah. So I'm looking forward to it.
- 8:15So you know, with that said, you know, you got, you know, Petco
- 8:19and you got but secondly there's a key in what is it?
- 8:251 & 2. Right.
- 8:27Yep. And then I think all the Riders
- 8:30pretty much back now. Yeah helping.
- 8:32Yeah. That's going to be good, any
- 8:37predictions. I mean, you know, I always got
- 8:41to go my Jack Miller and I feel like he's gonna be at least top
- 8:46five. If he doesn't go ham in the
- 8:49front, like, brightest eyes out and fade in the back.
- 8:52But, you know, like we had three weeks off.
- 8:56So it's hard to forget, you know?
- 8:58Like how hard the you know the KTM Riders have been riding so,
- 9:02okay? I do have faith in KTM.
- 9:04Yeah, you know, I was always a fan but, you know, I was always
- 9:09like asses. GE and Yamaha fan, but I got you
- 9:11got it. TM is been grown on me and I'll
- 9:14sell em fan of Jack Miller and 41.
- 9:17And right, Bend has been solid all around.
- 9:21So I think Katie is going to be up there.
- 9:23I mean, we all know Peko is going to be in the fight because
- 9:27that Ducati power. You know, they can't wait to hit
- 9:29this straightaway, right? Yeah.
- 9:32Now listen I own to erase to KTM is.
- 9:34All right, so I'm a KTM fan but honestly, you know, just looking
- 9:39at At, you know, motor America World Superbike and in the last
- 9:45couple of weeks it's been Ducati, Ducati, Ducati, Ducati.
- 9:49You know I'm saying and what Heron with bulaga, you know,
- 9:56we're Batista. Right.
- 9:58And so and then you see what's in MotoGP?
- 10:03Why do you got to say the Ducati Riders who were representing the
- 10:07coyote right now? Some class Riders.
- 10:09Yeah. And, and I think, you know, it's
- 10:12an IT, how can I put it? I want to it is, it's like when
- 10:16you hear magic and bird talk about when Michael Jordan came
- 10:20through and and said, hey, I'm here in not to say the cardi
- 10:26wasn't here, but they went away, right?
- 10:28And, you know, but to see what they're doing and motor America
- 10:34World Superbike, you know, MotoGP, you no soup.
- 10:39Passport will bulaga and not talk about like different
- 10:43different, you know, countries that are racing winning the
- 10:48winning II. Think the Japanese brands have a
- 10:51problem? Yes, I mean I mean, I don't know
- 10:56the details but I think it's a big problem.
- 10:59Yes. Because I don't want any other
- 11:01teams pulling out because because of this yeah I think
- 11:05they're going to replace Yamaha. You don't mean like as far as
- 11:08far as the wall r 1 and R 6. I think, you know, when you see
- 11:12what's going on and world superbike and and and and and in
- 11:17in Supersport hair, I think that you know, five years from now,
- 11:22there's gonna be a lot of ducks on We're talking about that a
- 11:26couple of episodes. Like, soonerlater.
- 11:29I just going to be 40 Ducatis. Yeah, great.
- 11:32Yeah. And I don't know.
- 11:35No. It's like, so yeah.
- 11:37Good looks for future right now with that.
- 11:39But right, so to go back to the to MotoGP and KTM, honestly, I'm
- 11:44glad you reminded me because I was just like, drinking the
- 11:48Ducati Kool-Aid. Yeah, every episode because you
- 11:52can't, I was just like, there's like they take it over.
- 11:56Which is great because I'm a fan of the bike.
- 11:58I like, you know, I have two of them and so yeah you want
- 12:01another team to put up a fight especially against Peko.
- 12:05Randy Ducati, why is that puts a little pressure on you?
- 12:08And you know, pressure, you can make mistakes like you just give
- 12:12someone a hundred point lead. They like, you know, they can
- 12:15risk. No.
- 12:17Yeah, because they've Ducati has been setting the bar for a while
- 12:20and you know like I said it's going to be very hard.
- 12:25For for the manufacturers to catch up, you know it Honda
- 12:31Yamaha it was Suzuki, you know I mean Kawasaki like you see what
- 12:37Jonathan? How Jonathan re struggling come
- 12:40on hey I know you're bad. He's 56 like I mean you know
- 12:46what I mean is a lot of good riders in there now and like you
- 12:48know because honestly be on top all the time but for sure but I
- 12:52think if he can't even get to that One, two and three, like he
- 12:56like he's consistently in the back.
- 12:59No. Yeah, not in the back but it's
- 13:01easily in like after forth. Yeah, exactly.
- 13:04He's, yeah, he's getting challenged where he wouldn't.
- 13:08I, you know, it's like, it's like top rock came through and
- 13:11just bam. You know, I'm saying and it was
- 13:15I think it was a shock to his system but also his Kawasaki to
- 13:19write and but you see what Batista's doing now, on the
- 13:23Ducati and if he wins it, And if bulaga wins it, you know, Yamaha
- 13:32Honda and Kawasaki and Suzuki you know, they got a problem
- 13:38because this guy I mean I wouldn't be surprised to see a
- 13:41perlier in were swag again and I mean because like they're doing,
- 13:46they're doing well in MotoGP and and and I think it's going to be
- 13:51that KTM up early and Ducati and, and KTM, and, and period
- 13:56there. Only to this challenging is
- 13:57ducks right now. Maybe Kate's here and bring two
- 13:59more bikes out. Yeah, that's good.
- 14:02There's talk of Husqvarna coming with Marc Marquez.
- 14:05And Pedro, I'll be could do you know?
- 14:08I think is Pedro. I could be wrong on page.
- 14:10You'll pop. But definitely and mean
- 14:12obviously Marquez is denying it. But yeah, it's at from what?
- 14:16I get, there's going to be another team, a KTM because KTM
- 14:19is falling with the crowd, he's doing and a pro, you should do
- 14:22the same thing. It's just the I don't know.
- 14:28Do you like Ducati has figured out a way to take the bikes to a
- 14:31different level where motorcycles have haven't been
- 14:35before and you know it's crazy to see what I want to learn.
- 14:42I'ma try to I'ma teach myself, I'm gonna look it up and
- 14:44everything but if you guys can help me but you know what do
- 14:48they give MotoGP teams like contingency points or something
- 14:53like that throughout the year so they can like develop more
- 14:56parts. Something like that.
- 14:58Do you know what I'm talking about?
- 15:02I don't know it. I know you're talking about.
- 15:05Well, it's usually newer teams. Oh yeah, that's what I mean.
- 15:08So like they need to reconstruct whatever.
- 15:10It's for teams who are struggling to get more access to
- 15:13things too. Well, I think that's not even a
- 15:16case anymore. I think you look like, you know,
- 15:20Honda is, is mimicking all the manufacturers a mimicking.
- 15:23What the kotti is doing it Wings.
- 15:26They laughed at all my Just now they all got them.
- 15:28Yep. You know what I mean?
- 15:30The way they cool the rear tire. Now with the Ducks and you know
- 15:33they all got them now rear. I tried how exactly the front
- 15:39and the rear height device. We got it now, everyone got it.
- 15:42You don't say. So that's the thing.
- 15:43They're leading it and other manufacturers are making their
- 15:45versions of it to catch up. And and when you do that, you're
- 15:50like making Frankenstein. But you know what?
- 15:52The funny thing is, where I they were creating this, they were
- 15:54also losing Oh for sure. Listen and you know, now that
- 15:59they got it figured out, it just kind of looks really scary
- 16:03because every manufacturer every Ducati and every you know, field
- 16:08of racing is winning, you said mode American MotoGP, world
- 16:12superbike and now everyone is like yeah I don't know.
- 16:15They figured it out. I don't know if we could keep up
- 16:19this time because you know Fabio bringing the bike out everyone's
- 16:24you know, got the bike shaking. Just To keep up, they hurt
- 16:27themselves, trying to keep up the hurting themselves and and
- 16:31and that's the crazy part. So that and I saw the thing is
- 16:35when you're when you're the one that's innovating, you know what
- 16:39you're doing when you're trying to copy some what's out there,
- 16:42you don't know, the mistakes they made and, and, and and, and
- 16:46that's a problem. So, and you see that with Honda,
- 16:50right? And you're seeing that with
- 16:52Yamaha because, you know, they You know, they're not
- 16:57innovating, They're copying. You know, I'm saying and what
- 17:00and they, you know. So You know, I think ATM is
- 17:06closed and a previous close and and their figured it out and I
- 17:11don't know if it's just listening to the writers because
- 17:14I it does seem like those teams are listening today.
- 17:16Writers a lot more and the bikes are going very fast.
- 17:21Yeah. So like Who else would be a KTM
- 17:24Rider? Like I said, must be paid,
- 17:26right? Yeah.
- 17:27Because like I don't know, I can't see anyone just jumping on
- 17:31a KTM and riding like, Brad Bennett and I mean Miller's,
- 17:35just on it. But yeah, no, that's what he's
- 17:37been writing like this out. I don't see anyone that can jump
- 17:40on a KTM and ride it like Miller.
- 17:42Yeah. So, because Milla is having,
- 17:45think, you know, what are we around?
- 17:47Six, something like that. You know?
- 17:49Saying, so it's not like he had the bike last year.
- 17:51Yeah? Right.
- 17:52Just jump right on it. Lucky bag.
- 17:54Come out of mind. And, and Milla has Brought the
- 17:59bike and 56 rounds to a top five bike.
- 18:04And they couldn't have just do it without it, with just the
- 18:09engineers and I give KTM. And I've said this already, I
- 18:12give Katie. I'm a lot of props because like
- 18:15they listen to him and Ducati, didn't listen to Lorenzo when
- 18:21Lorenzo was doing the same thing.
- 18:23And once they listen to him, they saw him win and you know,
- 18:28it took them a year and change to do that.
- 18:31And by then it was too salty. You don't say.
- 18:33And you see what they do now, they listen to their Riders.
- 18:35Yeah, now, and now you can see it Writers talking there.
- 18:37A recession? Yeah, getting the feedback, you
- 18:40know, cause at the end of the day, you want the bike to be
- 18:43competitive. I wanted to be like you want the
- 18:46bike to be competitive and then this all about the the rider,
- 18:50right? It's all about the ride because
- 18:52now my bike does everything at what I wanted to do and it's up
- 18:55to me and this dude over here when I have a, when I have an
- 18:58inferior machine and I know I got that skill, it's harder for
- 19:03writer. And I mean, I was watching one
- 19:05of my friends on YouTube, he does like a voiceover and you're
- 19:08saying like he's doing a track day or a race and the bike just
- 19:14felt awkward going into every corner and all he did is change
- 19:19like the gearing ratio, like one tooth.
- 19:22And and his seconds were exactly the same, but everything felt
- 19:25easier, right? You know, it's just, I mean,
- 19:28obviously he didn't talk to anyone or probably had someone
- 19:30to help him fix that but you know, just getting the Riders
- 19:33comfortable, Exactly. So yeah.
- 19:35So it is a problem when you don't have your machine running
- 19:38the right way, you know, and you you see it.
- 19:44So it's you know and I say I you know, Honda's just weren't
- 19:50Honda's, had a rain Yamahas, a Terrain.
- 19:52So you know you know they're not did it's not like they, you
- 19:57know, the KTM it's not like Suzuki when they could have just
- 20:01try to figure it out there. Just bailed out.
- 20:04And I stand, they even took like a fine.
- 20:08It was like, they they just like, I don't care.
- 20:10I'm pay the fine. I'm out.
- 20:12No, no. Like, I don't know if honestly,
- 20:14if they're really hurting for money that bad.
- 20:17That's, that's tough because I think it hurts the brand.
- 20:22Yeah. It's going to say, is no
- 20:23sympathy for the sport itself. Like, you know, and you are a
- 20:28manufacturer that sells motorcycles, like, why not be in
- 20:33Racing League? No, I should be.
- 20:35It should be mandatory. Yeah.
- 20:36Right, you know, not every manufacturer should be in, you
- 20:40know, you know, it should like Dormer or have you say they
- 20:43should allow that. Some way somehow.
- 20:46That's what I was talking about, like, the the contingency points
- 20:48or whatever, they get, they should allow some manufacture,
- 20:51some way to get points in different ways to keep it.
- 20:54Even in a certain way, Vantage Point more than writers, I think
- 20:58they do that to manage the money, right?
- 21:00Because the one you don't want it to be about the Mo Money win,
- 21:03most money win, but You know, don't you know, Ducati a lot of
- 21:06money because you know of of the people that own them.
- 21:09So they I think they have the luxury of access to technology
- 21:13but Honda has it's like come on, Honda got the most money so you
- 21:17know at the end of the day you know I think it's just
- 21:21Innovation, you know it ended a and that's that's you know
- 21:25that's you know it is possible that Marquez might not be there
- 21:28next year. Yeah, they don't want that.
- 21:31He's been their face of hunger for useless.
- 21:34Listen, so long. There's if he's on another team.
- 21:36If they're probably still sell, 100 Mark.
- 21:40Mark is gay like crazy. Like this Marquez will get a
- 21:44pass like Rossi go, listen Rossi.
- 21:46Rossi has been on Honda Ducati Yamaha right?
- 21:49And and so I think Marquez will get would get a pass going to
- 21:55another manufacturer and then coming back to Honda something
- 21:58like that to Layton is. Career though, to go to
- 22:01somewhere else. I mean no, but like to have that
- 22:03type of, no, no. Because I think I'd like Rossi.
- 22:07I think was 31 or something like that.
- 22:10It had a bunch of injuries and stuff, you know, so I you know,
- 22:15yeah, I you know, if he wants to but he wants to win, you know,
- 22:18saying so at the end the day, you know, as a writer.
- 22:21Yeah, at the end of the day he wants to win and you know you
- 22:24like he's been out so long and he came back to the last race,
- 22:28right? Yes.
- 22:28I'm like that. He's awesome.
- 22:31Yeah, he loses that. You know, I mean so that's the
- 22:34thing he wants to win and he's been loyal.
- 22:37So it's not, you know, he's jacked his body up in the
- 22:41process of being loyal, right? So I think if he left after this
- 22:45year, like he'll get a pass and you know at so I think the brand
- 22:49will be okay for Honda and him but ultimately a Honda would
- 22:53want to keep him forever because they would like to do what Ross,
- 22:56he's doing Yamaha right, you know what I mean?
- 22:58Yeah, Rossi. And Yamaha's always going to pay
- 23:01Rossi because it's like Michael Jordan and and Nike you know,
- 23:04you're not going to you're not going to sever that and you
- 23:07don't you don't want to sever that from a market in the
- 23:09business, you know, from a business point.
- 23:11So, you know, it's in Honda's best interest to to make Marc
- 23:16Marquez, what, you know, Rossi did for Yamaha not to say, they
- 23:22need it in the same way that Yamaha did.
- 23:24But nonetheless, Marquez, good. You know, I mean, like he's
- 23:27synonymous with Honda right now and, you know, you don't want
- 23:29the honest. That, I mean screw that to me
- 23:31and not only that they need to work on mirror.
- 23:33Hey, give him. Listen to me, get him.
- 23:37I finished. I think that, you know, if they
- 23:42need more points, you know, like Marquez is not writing some
- 23:45races and like, you know, Honda's not finishing.
- 23:49Yeah, I think I think Honda screwed up because they They had
- 23:56to give me the factory seat take because he got the world title.
- 24:00It just makes sense but if he didn't have that world title
- 24:04rings with a got that factory seat.
- 24:06Yeah. I mean because rins to me is a
- 24:08better Rider You know, I'm saying and he's proven that was
- 24:12his ookie. He didn't get the title but he's
- 24:14a better writer. Yeah they is took me awhile for
- 24:17have that sinking but overall I think he is a better writer and
- 24:21yeah he's doing really well in the Honda.
- 24:23He's the only one that's like helping Hunter.
- 24:25He's the closest thing to Marquez here.
- 24:28You know what I mean and and so he just didn't get he just
- 24:31cracked whatever reason crashed a lot, you know, the phase.
- 24:36That's just yeah, and it was a weird year for when I don't want
- 24:40to do like an asterisk thing with the would I don't know.
- 24:43I'm going I was going back to the NBA maybe because it's the
- 24:46championship and and you know I don't put an asterisk next to
- 24:50anything but he won in the pandemic year.
- 24:52So you know and it wasn't same amount of races and yeah
- 24:56everyone says that you know and and and and I 12 races that you
- 25:00have 20 years and like that and honestly like he won One race.
- 25:05Yeah and he he just finishing up points as so for my titles
- 25:08perspective. Look he played along.
- 25:10A man and he got what he got and it is what it is but he didn't
- 25:15he didn't do like Marquez the dominance he brought under the
- 25:20dominance Petco, right? Last year you know being so far
- 25:24down and went in so many races. Give you the Mike Tyson hit.
- 25:27Yeah. Just you know the 12 rounds.
- 25:29Yeah. He just stayed up no disrespect
- 25:32to Floyd but he didn't. He wasn't he just you know, he
- 25:35play the long game play the log a like for you it wasn't like
- 25:38Mike Tyson out there. You know what I mean?
- 25:40Quitters finish it first every race or organ knocked out.
- 25:43Exactly. I'm saying.
- 25:46And so and you can't do that. Not when these like, you know,
- 25:52it's I've only started watching MotoGP really like 2015 and
- 25:58stuff but like the level of which these Riders are riding
- 26:02today and it's a different, it's so different, different level.
- 26:08You know what I mean? And you got any You know you
- 26:11that either have it or you don't you know and that's you know I
- 26:15mean and you know like I give credit to Jack Miller who's you
- 26:18know because like you see Pat code like the like Fabio like
- 26:22you know like we just talked about mayor these guys just came
- 26:25up and got you know I'm saying they got they got titles.
- 26:28Yeah and and and and Miller had to you know and other writers
- 26:33you know all those guys, you know, saying these new Riders
- 26:39is, you know, I don't know if it's all the computer a desk,
- 26:42making it possible, you know, all the all the technology
- 26:45that's that's the older Riders can adapt or same way.
- 26:49Remember we were talking about like, some Riders fade out
- 26:51because of the writing style but yours like variety was able to
- 26:55adapt. Which yeah, he was, but it kind
- 26:57of caught up to him. I think what he I think also,
- 27:00what is his age to, you know, the 20, come on your hair
- 27:06already talked about, you know what I mean?
- 27:10You know, If but yeah. So I don't know if it's that as
- 27:13well. You know, that's you know,
- 27:16that's making these Riders can just beam or whatever.
- 27:19But these new guys they're on a different level, you know, at
- 27:23and at Young ages, you know, they LeBrons, I mean, you know,
- 27:27just just, I've never ridden a bike on a track that we had
- 27:32electronic. So like, I still don't know what
- 27:34that feels like to have full traction control on or taking
- 27:38two levels of track and just roll off or Or you know, all
- 27:41those riding AIDS and as you see every year there's a new like
- 27:47riding a date or something. So like these Riders are crazy
- 27:51but with the talents now compared to back then so I don't
- 27:54know that could also play a part but you know, they're in the in
- 27:57the sport, you know, the top sports.
- 27:59Oh, right well Topsy. So I'm sure they got all the
- 28:03right and AIDS way before we do. Oh, a little less.
- 28:05So this is a trickle down to us. Yes.
- 28:08Oh but it's just amazing. Like how they can just handle
- 28:12the bike with all these AIDS in and let's just say, like pole
- 28:16and Jack Miller, you know, they're keeping up.
- 28:20He said they didn't get their podiums like, you know, Marion
- 28:26Petco. And also, yeah, no, no.
- 28:27Yeah, it's different. So, you know, it, that's the
- 28:32different. I mean.
- 28:33And, you know, I like to see. I like to see the older Riders,
- 28:38but but it's hard to say, hey y'all do.
- 28:40On guys, it's just there all day, a lot of day really, dope.
- 28:44Hey, you know, I'm more of just being risk taker, you know?
- 28:47Because they're younger. No, but, you know, a lot of
- 28:54know, right, that bad right installations like, I'm right,
- 28:57I'm done at 35, like he's already thinking about it,
- 28:59right? Yeah.
- 29:00Like but he's there, 17, 18 years, right?
- 29:02Push, like he did 10 years ago knowing that he said he's going
- 29:05to retire in two years, I think so.
- 29:08I don't think that goes away that Competitive Edge even When
- 29:10he writes like like competitive, and like, when you competitive
- 29:13here, when they're out there, I mean, it's different story.
- 29:15Yay. You just, you just want to go
- 29:17bust his butt at a, you know, he recognizes, you know, that tree,
- 29:21right? It's like, you know, he's at
- 29:23that point and, you know, you got kids and, you know, I don't
- 29:26think it's a money thing for him, but I don't know.
- 29:29It's personal finances. But, you know, I think that he's
- 29:32at a point where it's kind of like, I think if he had this
- 29:35bike seven years ago, eight years ago, he would have had
- 29:39World titles, But he would have had World titles, he for
- 29:42whatever reason. He just didn't get the good
- 29:44bikes, I don't know. I can't say he was a bad writer
- 29:48watching them, but he wasn't on, you know, he didn't get the
- 29:52factory seat early, I still room for a leash, I want to see him,
- 29:56you know, least top five this year, you know, there's still a
- 29:59lot of races left and if they have a lot of time off.
- 30:03I mean prayer you need to figure it out.
- 30:06Yeah, yeah it is see it be way more competitive.
- 30:10I mean Ducati has been winning everything but you know, I think
- 30:13if you know all of area didn't get crashed up, I think it would
- 30:18be different. You know.
- 30:20I think for the reason this year Alicia's definitely struggling
- 30:24more that more than last year, it seems like Maverick is is
- 30:31doing better. So his last round was it when he
- 30:37lost. Yeah yeah, yeah.
- 30:39Which is not his fault. So, Then you know, and he was in
- 30:41top five I think if memory serves correctly.
- 30:44So you know I know I know I feel like a pro you has the bike
- 30:48underneath them. But yeah, I'm rooting for a
- 30:53leash and I hope that, you know, he can fight, you know, put it
- 30:58in the top five for the whole season because he has the bike
- 31:01underneath them. He has the right bike underneath
- 31:04him. I should say.
- 31:05And so, you know, I hope that happens for him.
- 31:08Yeah, I mean I just love how positive is to like he has kids
- 31:12paw prints all over suit and helmet.
- 31:15Yeah. He's still for the kids.
- 31:16Yeah, you know, it's pretty cool to see.
- 31:20I know that's what he wants to, you know, just for the kids to
- 31:24do it her hair rise. They just want to see him win a
- 31:27couple more. Actually I want to see him like
- 31:29has he been on the podium this year?
- 31:30I don't think. Yeah.
- 31:31I don't think. Yeah.
- 31:32Like I want to see him least. Get number one, at least be on
- 31:37the podium. Yeah.
- 31:38Yeah. Two or three.
- 31:39Three times. What we have left this year?
- 31:42Not. Yeah, it's this one.
- 31:43It's too early man. Is there really early?
- 31:45And this is the longest longest some MotoGP season.
- 31:49Yeah. So it's a long season and you
- 31:52got to sprint races. So you know, it is extra points
- 31:56to be had. So no, I'm I'm looking forward
- 31:59to mode yellow this weekend. And, you know, speaking of, you
- 32:04know, we got 200 running running of the classic loud and classic
- 32:10in an about nine days. 10 days La Colonia bike week, this week
- 32:15or so goes on for the whole week which is which also is the 100
- 32:19hundredths 800. Yep.
- 32:21So they started partying and racing the same time, I know,
- 32:25right? Yeah, you all over New
- 32:28Hampshire. They do like my bike rides up to
- 32:31White Mountains, rallies on Weir's Beach, a lot of vendors,
- 32:36just spikes everywhere, a lot of cool roads and then like I said
- 32:41we got the lot of classic. You can test ride certain
- 32:44manufacturers, you know, just pull up and sign up and you
- 32:49know, it You got the classic. So yeah, see Parkin, I mean, you
- 33:00know, I got a trailer, he's got a truck, squeezed by it.
- 33:04And I got a little bit sad, squeeze money somewhere but
- 33:07yeah, I don't know. All the details about parking,
- 33:10but sounds like it's gonna be Mayhem.
- 33:14Yeah, telling you I guess you got to be there certain days
- 33:17because what's going on? But I think I was like, I don't
- 33:21care but showed up. Yeah, I think that's the plan,
- 33:24you know, I think that's the way it is because I'm also just pay
- 33:28the extra fees, right? I'm a little just dropping
- 33:34things, you know, it's different and, you know, at the tracks,
- 33:40you know, its first come first serve.
- 33:43So you know, it's that's how it is.
- 33:46But here where, you know, you you can rent the garage for the
- 33:49whole season. It's a little different at
- 33:53Loudon than some of these other tracks on the East Coast, I
- 33:56can't speak for the middle of the country and and west but you
- 34:00know, you know, so it's a little different.
- 34:03Out to say hey we can't do what we normally do.
- 34:06Well yeah you know like this people been racing here for
- 34:08years and parking the same spot every single time and I don't
- 34:12think the classic last year was like this and it was not but it
- 34:16was not the same amount of money.
- 34:17Yeah, exactly. It's big good point but I mean I
- 34:22think it's all for the safety to and to make it more organized,
- 34:25but I don't know how it feels to be like, you know, if you used
- 34:29to park in in the paddock and right across Like that being
- 34:34pushed away, that's kind of discrepancy.
- 34:37Yeah, it is so no. So we'll see.
- 34:42I suspect, you know, get there early well as I was mentioning
- 34:46like, because I was bred into the paddock, like, I tell my
- 34:49friends. So I usually put out in the
- 34:52field and I, Hey, where's your bike?
- 34:53I'm like, it's in the paddock is I like just go back and forth
- 34:56back and forth, right? So your that's no big deal for
- 34:58you. Well yes, no, no, no big deal.
- 35:02You're right. But now like, you know, for me,
- 35:06being in the field now everyone where those extras, that can
- 35:12tent Outside The Paddock where they, you know, like you put
- 35:15your camper Outside The Paddock, sometimes like where spices are
- 35:18going to write is available. That are coming in.
- 35:22There's definitely going to be less space available and then
- 35:24saying that hey you can come on Thursday, only rice.
- 35:28Well, yeah, it's this is for I think this is Wednesday
- 35:30Thursday. But yeah, it is going to be a
- 35:35little bit different. So that's so that means
- 35:36Wednesday, Thursday. That's when they're pulling up
- 35:39really listen. First come first.
- 35:41So I'm not telling you when you get there.
- 35:44So, I know when I'm getting here, why I know the Penguin and
- 35:49stuff is going on. To so correct.
- 35:52Yeah they expect a lot of people so they're trying to plan ahead.
- 35:55It is a little bit. Like I said it's different
- 35:57because I was like a local. Yeah I would just pull up and
- 36:00see what happens. Well isn't but don't you know
- 36:02you know I get their reason. Yeah.
- 36:05But you know if people know if you if you've been Racing for a
- 36:08little bit you know you get the earliest you get the best spots
- 36:12later you get the worst spots you get you know this is this
- 36:15doesn't secret. Hey guys, they're asking people
- 36:17like I squeeze in order to see what Available, yeah, pew, pew
- 36:24pew. It's gonna be interesting.
- 36:26So yeah, so I'm camping in feel so because my dad, my trail is
- 36:32not, I usually park in front of my garage.
- 36:35Well, at the ended up, we get this parking spots, that's
- 36:38allotted to us to the garage that I paid in.
- 36:41And, you know, I usually park at the end of that but, you know,
- 36:44that's not going to happen because they don't want any big
- 36:46did. Well is no parking in that
- 36:47section and I don't want any big trailers left in the parking.
- 36:51Spots that are available you know how many like so you and
- 36:54like carry, you know, them this like oh you're going towards the
- 36:58track only like four or five lineup that always part for five
- 37:01bucks, you think of food upon a time you turn in.
- 37:04Yeah yeah yeah. You know there's at least 10
- 37:06people that attended 12 maybe even more that pit against the
- 37:10fence. So you know there's now those
- 37:14folks are going to go in and feel.
- 37:15Yeah that's so sad and well there's also people that pit in
- 37:19the parking spots themselves to Not pit campout.
- 37:22Yeah. In the parking spots themselves
- 37:24whether in a tent or in the trailer.
- 37:26So all these people now and in field somewhere both sides
- 37:29because I know the other side, you know, Joe usually parks
- 37:34right in the parking lot in tents and and same with the
- 37:37add-on and a couple other guys after the show I'm gonna go drop
- 37:40my trailer off. That's all right, that's all I
- 37:43know. But no it is it's going to be
- 37:48thick and they are trying to get there.
- 37:51Information out. I mean, it's hard.
- 37:53Well, yeah, I know I appreciate the fact that get get the clear
- 37:56information on what is actually going on by right?
- 37:58It's couple of videos and they are trying to get the
- 38:00information out there but I just know for their type of weekend.
- 38:06It's gonna be hectic. Yeah, and other people getting
- 38:09pushed out and well, I don't know where to, I shouldn't say.
- 38:12It's going to be hectic. I think the people I get there,
- 38:14the people that get there after all the spots are gone.
- 38:17It's going to be tough for y'all.
- 38:18So the people that's get there early enough and And they get
- 38:21their spots in this setup and then got no problems.
- 38:24Yeah. So that's why I don't want to be
- 38:26pinning like somewhere. I've never played it before.
- 38:30Don't even know where to plug in like.
- 38:33Well, yeah. And and, you know, I think it's
- 38:35gonna be different because, you know, I, you know, have a it's
- 38:39going to be different. But yeah, yeah, they let me feel
- 38:41spots available. So again, you know, it's but
- 38:44it's not a business like this out of kick, either other
- 38:46racetrack. So, fine.
- 38:48I think the only people are going to feel it is the locals.
- 38:51Oh, you know same because everybody else knows that you
- 38:53bring your generator and you may get a 30 amp or 110 or you got
- 38:57your generator. So I think other people know
- 38:59that like there's like I've said this on other shows like Loudon
- 39:04and Daytona it, a sport. Those are the best tracks as far
- 39:09as amenities Jersey as well. I don't knock Jersey and then
- 39:13I'm not talking about, I'm talking about east coast, and
- 39:16I'm talking about the the tracks that I racer with ccs and azra,
- 39:20and Lao and Neymar lonely, buddy, get at me.
- 39:25But, you know, like Loudon. E.
- 39:27We have a really, there's a little, it's a really nice
- 39:29layout. It's a really amenities are
- 39:31really nice and not every other tracks are not like this, so it
- 39:38is great. But yeah, other places you
- 39:39listen, that you might get, like, you know, 25, 30, 30 amps,
- 39:43or something like that and after that, you're on your own so
- 39:47well, I mean, I know, we also been spoiled so like we do.
- 39:51Ooh, Park in the field, will park our trucks or whatever and
- 39:54just any type of fashion, just place it down and just plug in,
- 39:57but they actually do. It's kind of faded on the, on
- 40:00the pavement, but they have the space markers for each each
- 40:07plug-in, you know, right. So they, you know, it's just
- 40:10going to be tight. Everyone's probably going to
- 40:12have to use that. That little minimum space.
- 40:16I don't know my minimal because the people have different sized
- 40:18trailers, right. I think it's it.
- 40:21Respecting where I've never had an issue and I've parked in
- 40:24other people's spots that has have a reserved spots and you
- 40:28know, didn't come back on my door at 6:00 in the morning or
- 40:31anything like that. I actually walked out to put gas
- 40:33and then in there like a you in the wrong spot, I'd and we
- 40:36talked it out and figured it out and they were cool with me not
- 40:39moving until in the morning and stuff like that.
- 40:41So you know, I don't think it's going to be ridiculous in that
- 40:43sense. I think, you know, I think as a
- 40:45community, you know, we get it and I think that, you know,
- 40:50people Get their spots and you know people if somebody saving a
- 40:54spot that's what they're doing and it is what it is and
- 40:57everybody understands that. So maybe the locals might be
- 41:01back, hey, you're my spot but people that come to a track that
- 41:04that it's not a home track, they just wherever is open.
- 41:08That's what they take. Yeah, you know, I mean this is
- 41:12good family up here so we'll figure it out.
- 41:16We're gonna be no dog face. I'm sure, you know, a like I
- 41:19said, I mean, for the most part like I've No, I haven't had a
- 41:22problem. You know, at tracks with people,
- 41:25it's always been love, you know what I'm saying?
- 41:28So I don't think it's going to be any different.
- 41:30It's just, you know, I like I've you know like certain you know,
- 41:35certain tracks get a lot of people.
- 41:37And and you know, if you're not used to seeing that and maybe
- 41:41you might feel away but you know, if you are didn't no
- 41:43problem. It is preparing for the worst
- 41:47know, anything to go backwards and wrong, so I guess.
- 41:50Yeah, so yeah, open space for people to walk around I guess.
- 41:54No, no doubt better. So, yeah, so that's the classic.
- 41:59I can't wait for Saturday, right?
- 42:01The the, I mean, I'm excited for the day, I raised two but I,
- 42:06it's, you know, it would be interesting to see.
- 42:09I don't even know where I'm going to go to watch it from
- 42:11yet, but Charlie, go to tear one bleacher side.
- 42:17Okay, okay, okay. Should probably wait, you know
- 42:20what? It probably makes sense to be on
- 42:21a bleacher side and just watch the whole track from you from
- 42:24the bleacher side then then miss out on the action because right?
- 42:27Won't see the ball but it's about it.
- 42:29You might you gotta if you go higher up to the nosebleed
- 42:32section, you know some binoculars you know saying you
- 42:35might you might not see what I mean.
- 42:49And maybe even though over you know 10 11 or back there,
- 42:53everybody binoculars well because of the depend on where
- 42:56you are but because of the The buildings over there.
- 42:58Yeah. You know I'm saying but you
- 43:00maybe to get most of the track. Yeah, so I I'm looking forward
- 43:05to the whole thing, you know. It's you know, it's this is a
- 43:10largest money, you can get a motorcycle racing in the US and,
- 43:15you know, where, you know, we haven't had National guys, like
- 43:18this. Come up this way in a very long
- 43:20time, just looking forward to seeing, like, how these guys
- 43:23prepare for it. Erases, you know, like I've seen
- 43:27like He said, one of my favorites is shading on bone.
- 43:29You know, I've watched him when the classic past couple years
- 43:33and the times that he's preparing for it, you just see
- 43:36him going in and all right, when it off the track.
- 43:39Oh yeah. They'll tell you they'll tell
- 43:47you, you know, when you're not you're there for a reason.
- 43:51You know, saying you're not there just to be just just doing
- 43:54laps. You did like you figuring
- 43:55something out you okay? You're back in, you're not
- 43:57allowed. Just joyriding, you know I'm
- 43:59saying, you know, so you know that is that is what it is and
- 44:04you see that that level which is pretty cool to see.
- 44:06So I'm I'm really looking forward to it.
- 44:07I guess. I really can't tell you who's
- 44:09going to win. I can't wait to see Eric Woods
- 44:11Ducati I want to see I haven't seen him race in the big race to
- 44:14so I'm looking forward to seeing them be out there.
- 44:16Yeah you know my favorite Scott Greenwood and you know Shane our
- 44:21boat and then and just to watch Eli and they still can't wait
- 44:25and then yeah I just gotta wait it done.
- 44:28So many riders that like watching you know it's gonna be
- 44:32a good time. It's definitely going to be a
- 44:34good time and it's looking like the weather is going to be nice.
- 44:36Cool 70ish. Hopefully yes that way.
- 44:40Yeah it looks like something reality forecast early and I
- 44:43think it just spinning out. Yeah.
- 44:45So no I'm people looking forward to rain but hopefully nice, try
- 44:51one. Is.
- 44:52Yeah, it is listen. I don't think they'll do top,
- 44:55right is gonna care either way. Oh, I know it's just one but it
- 44:58is. Yeah, it would be more.
- 44:59Yeah, it rained. When I was in assen and it
- 45:02wasn't as enjoyable for sure. And definitely figure, you know,
- 45:07unless of us know we're here, I think Wednesday is the last day
- 45:12that at the moment, you know. So we'll see.
- 45:15So before we wrap up, I wanted to just talk about, you know,
- 45:20the the this highs and lows of the season so far and you know,
- 45:25and you know anything that you know you know, how is this
- 45:28season been overall, and all overriding, you know it, you
- 45:32know, in the in the last couple of months.
- 45:34I mean, definitely, I can't say any loads, you know, hopefully,
- 45:40you don't get any lausanne besides, you know, lap times.
- 45:45You know. All right.
- 45:46Right. Right.
- 45:46Right. But, but it's first, first two
- 45:49rounds. I mean, everything has been
- 45:52everything has been where Not where I expected but where I
- 45:56left off from last year. Gotcha.
- 45:59As far as like my times and you know body position and stuff
- 46:04like that and you say one of the lowest I have is just like as
- 46:09far as body position is like my feet.
- 46:11I just always try to I don't know what it is.
- 46:14Like I always pick it up and then it should be one corner.
- 46:17That is just a little too low. It doesn't like drag or anything
- 46:20like that but when I looking like my pictures or videos, I'm
- 46:22just like keep My cells pick my feet.
- 46:26Yeah. I don't think you should worry
- 46:27about that if your fees not touching the ground.
- 46:29Well, I mean, a couple of times it has, you know, and and the
- 46:32moment once in a bowl once on Turn 1, 10, 100 1 that happened.
- 46:38Yeah, but you know besides that I think everything is going
- 46:44good. I don't want any any Louis
- 46:46stuff. Well, I mean in that to say, you
- 46:48know, it's nastier more. Yeah.
- 46:51So it's just stuff you got to figure things out, right?
- 46:54Yeah. You know, it doesn't have to be
- 46:55on the track specifically, but just, you know, getting to the
- 46:59track or or, you know, you know, cook in or whatever.
- 47:03Right. You know, it's, you know, since
- 47:06we brought it up, you know, like, like I said, I just got a
- 47:09truck, I don't have a trailer yet.
- 47:11So one of the Lowe's is, it was a high at first, when I got a
- 47:16truck, and I finally put my bike and transported to a from.
- 47:21Uh-huh. But now, I started to come below
- 47:23because I'm like, I gotta put the I gotta check again, my guy.
- 47:27So help me with this this time because I don't have enough
- 47:30energy. I got strap it down, played
- 47:32Tetris in the car, when all my stuff, and then when I get home.
- 47:36So, like the last two rounds, I left everything in the car that
- 47:39would get it. I woke up with a board and I was
- 47:41like, I take out what I need that driving the truck today,
- 47:45and it's just it's getting more and more like that.
- 47:47Like the first time when I got home immediately, took
- 47:50everything out. Brought it down, stairs, put
- 47:52everything away. So yeah.
- 47:54That's that's a low right now but I'm grateful.
- 47:57Listen, that, that I can still make it to him from, you know?
- 48:00So that's, that's definitely a low like I come here.
- 48:03If I got to play Tetris, to get my trailer and I park it on the
- 48:06Main Street Truck and Trailer, and just leave everything and
- 48:10walk in the house. So, I feel you there versus
- 48:13coming, getting everything packed unpacked and put away and
- 48:16like, know it, you know, the traveling part of it is is
- 48:20probably the biggest low in general because regardless of
- 48:25Know, if you have a bigger rig this complications that would
- 48:27come with that. And if you have a small one, is
- 48:30the complications that come with that.
- 48:32And you know, it you got to plan accordingly and you know, that
- 48:36is that it would be, you know, it would be nice to just show up
- 48:39and have everything you need and you just gotta just, you know,
- 48:42jump on the bike and go, it's big enough.
- 48:44My boy Nick. When we went to New York safety
- 48:46track you know it was just a long day overall and toys when
- 48:52we try to figure out where to park the camper.
- 48:55He just got frustrated so everyone around him is like you,
- 48:57okay man, he's like just been all day, you do know they exist,
- 49:02you know, being irritated listen and then you know, right
- 49:05everything he had to do to set up the trail at the park, it
- 49:08plug it in. And put the, I was just, I was
- 49:11like, yeah, I just stand because you know, he's the only one
- 49:14doing it. It was his stuff and I didn't
- 49:18know where to jump in like hey we want me to do.
- 49:21Yeah. It's and and you sometimes you
- 49:23don't want to but you can People gain is weighed and that's when
- 49:26it was just like all right, but you do have to eat.
- 49:28It's good to ask for help because yeah, it's like when you
- 49:32pull up and set up you like, by the time you're done, setting up
- 49:35your sweating. Yep.
- 49:36And and and and you uncomfortable and you know
- 49:39probably be tired depending on how far you have to ride.
- 49:43I'll drive I should say so that that you know, that that is the
- 49:47yeah, that's not it, not to mention when the day was done we
- 49:51left that same day so you gotta You know, and he's like,
- 49:57unwinding and doing all this stuff didn't fit and like, ya
- 50:02know it. I feel it.
- 50:03Yeah. And it took me awhile.
- 50:05Like I finally have a system. Yeah, see you and hit the track
- 50:09Like Sunday when you got one race.
- 50:12I like 12. All the stuffs already at the
- 50:14truck. Yeah.
- 50:15The bike left. Yeah you time it out.
- 50:17Yes. Who's that race is dangerous and
- 50:18he's out I just write in and because you know it just helps
- 50:22because like at the end it's just it's a lot of effort.
- 50:24Then and I don't like you know it's nice to have everything out
- 50:28because you can just relax. But at the same time you kind of
- 50:31know you got to pack up and you know the more stuff you have the
- 50:34more you have to pack up you know.
- 50:37But it's good to have a system and my it's like my plan is like
- 50:42it took me a while to get a system like well, okay, this
- 50:45stuff that like fits right here and and I put these in things
- 50:48first and this thing and get it all.
- 50:50So it's easy to transport and all that stuff and and yeah
- 50:53transporting. And to and from tracks is
- 50:56probably the low of the whole thing.
- 50:59And and that's the thing that takes no I wouldn't say as much
- 51:03energy as racing but it takes a lot of energy.
- 51:07Oh yeah that's why we said let's get their day before.
- 51:10Get there through all this the same day.
- 51:12You want to go get on the track. Yeah.
- 51:15If you can get there just set up and then you just wake up the
- 51:19next morning and do what you do, your ritual here and going to
- 51:22track if you know, it's like I've I was at a summit, the
- 51:27other a few weeks ago and shout out to Mike, that he works at.
- 51:33I think the court in New York and you know, he showed up, you
- 51:36know, like like early morning day of right and after he set
- 51:44up, he was done, you know, between the drive and stuff and
- 51:48it is what it is. Right?
- 51:49Because you know, this is, I mean, he's only he's been
- 51:53racing. You know, like me this one, I
- 51:56made me like his fourth race, you know, where each week, and I
- 51:59should say, right? So not even like, like it, you
- 52:02know. So he's new to writing and the
- 52:04same thing. I did the same thing, you know,
- 52:05we do you think you can just show up the more the day over
- 52:08the morning of and you're good? And it's like, no, no, no.
- 52:11Your time. You know, you know.
- 52:13And, and so we, that's it. Took me a while to learn.
- 52:16Like okay. Yeah, I can stay up all night
- 52:18driving and get the in the morning, but then, what am I?
- 52:21Like, when I get there in the morning?
- 52:22Yeah, that I can do it, you know.
- 52:24So I had to check myself and and plan accordingly.
- 52:28So you know that that that's the big low.
- 52:31I mean, you know, you know, I don't think I've done that yet.
- 52:35Every time I've been to the tracks always been the night
- 52:38before well, you know? Yeah, I've woken up and had to
- 52:40drive 20 30 minutes because I had a hotel, you know, we had a
- 52:45bunch of us, you know, that. But nothing like coming from
- 52:49Boston, you know, driving out half Like Jesse, you know, it B
- 52:53honestly that's not Nothing. These really that's that's,
- 52:56that's a small J. Yeah, that's that's, that's if I
- 52:59had to drive an hour and a half every time you've got you do it
- 53:02all the time. Yeah.
- 53:03But now we talk about you gotta drive.
- 53:05Seven, that are more hours. Yeah, yeah.
- 53:08I mean that kind of thing, you know I mean it's like you know,
- 53:10if I have to drive just a jersey every time no problem, I can
- 53:12drive from here to Jersey or in one shot all day long, but we
- 53:16talking about even Summit, like I can do some of it straight,
- 53:19but anything beyond some it from from Boston.
- 53:23It's like, okay, I got a camp out somewhere and rest and then
- 53:27wake up and do what I got to do or that type of thing.
- 53:29Because at the end of the day, it's Again, you gotta do what
- 53:33you gotta do, right? Don't get me wrong.
- 53:35You got to do what you got to do.
- 53:36When you, when you, if you got. If that's all you can do to get
- 53:38that. It is what it is.
- 53:40But if you can get there and just rest is better off.
- 53:44Yeah, I think three hours is three and a half four hours like
- 53:48the most, if you're going to drive up and still race the same
- 53:51day. Yeah, no.
- 53:52I see some people here. Seven hours like this.
- 53:55Yeah. I mean, that was tough.
- 53:58I mean, I would leave our you say, it comes from what Jersey
- 54:02Jersey. Yeah, but day camps out, usually
- 54:04or yeah, he comes out early. Yeah, you know, if you have to
- 54:07look like I said, I mean, I, you know, everybody is different for
- 54:09everyone. And if your youngest no problem,
- 54:12you know? I mean, I've stayed up with
- 54:13three days straight when I was younger, you know.
- 54:14Yeah. Because your toes and on
- 54:16anything, you know, saying, but you know, it's, you know, when,
- 54:20you know, when you're older, you definitely camping out a lot
- 54:23more. When you're younger, you can
- 54:25you, can, you know, drive all night and still have energy go.
- 54:28Grace. And I mean so but for us ol for.
- 54:32Well, I can't speak for you, I got one great, I cut it off but
- 54:39you know, I, you know, I might, it doesn't mean I don't I don't
- 54:43have to be comfortable. So I'm just not, you know
- 54:46anymore and I've tried it and it's you know, it's not fun
- 54:49because then you're not comfortable on the bike and if
- 54:51you're not comfortable on a bike then you know, you may not have
- 54:54the same experience that you wanted to and and sometimes you
- 54:58just Big because the travel. Yeah, I'm also.
- 55:01The type of person that just like to be an atmosphere, so we
- 55:04don't get these race out opportunities like every day,
- 55:09but I like, if I did go up and and I felt that way, I would
- 55:13hang out just a little bit of Iran.
- 55:15Yeah, you gotta know when to not go on the track if you not feel
- 55:20right and he has to be well rested, right?
- 55:23Exactly. I mean, I think it's, yeah, you
- 55:26should, you know, you should know that.
- 55:27I mean, you know, No it's better always to be safe so but yeah I
- 55:32know I mean if you can get there early enough, get the if it is
- 55:36you know but you know yourself you know your body so yeah.
- 55:40Can't wait for this classic. You got one week from today,
- 55:43right? Yeah.
- 55:45One way of the next. This is Thursday.
- 55:46I'll listen yeah, one week from today I'll be.
- 55:50Yeah, I'm going to probably be there.
- 55:52I'll be there, Wednesday, I believe because I'm gonna I'm
- 55:54probably going to do racer practice both days because I
- 55:58Unlike you I haven't this is my first round about and you know,
- 56:01so I have not been here this is for the season.
- 56:05So you know, I want to I want to get up to speed fairly quickly
- 56:08because you know, I'm hoping to have some fun this weekend and
- 56:12be competitive. I do know, is I'm sure since I'm
- 56:16Groupon. Anyway, everyone's going to be
- 56:18up group one practice early Friday.
- 56:22Oh yeah, sometimes I look out the window.
- 56:25I'm like nah, not feeling it. I do second practice in the day
- 56:31in the morning. I so yeah yeah, definitely I'd
- 56:34be a weekend Harry was going to be.
- 56:35I think if you don't if you don't do racer practice then you
- 56:39gotta do both sessions, you know.
- 56:41Like you know, it's is it is what it is.
- 56:44I mean, some people know themselves and they don't have
- 56:46to, you know, you know, they, you know something, you know
- 56:49what I mean? But like, you know, if you going
- 56:52to get the times, you're going to get you, you know what I
- 56:54mean? So, but, you know, I'm, I don't
- 56:57know if I don't know. Don't Friday.
- 56:59I don't have to do on Wednesday and Thursday at the moment, but
- 57:02on Friday you know, it'll Friday.
- 57:05Will depend on what I do. The weddings in two on
- 57:10Wednesday, there is a for practice but I'll probably do at
- 57:13least one if not both on Friday. Yeah.
- 57:15Should do race practice but unfortunately I can't get out of
- 57:18work until Thursday. So I guess a day off and well
- 57:22Thursday. We're going to practice as a
- 57:24starting to 1 its 1 to 7. So and about boy, And Nick, you
- 57:29know, and I think it's 5:58 on Wednesday, so it's afternoon.
- 57:32So yeah, so I'm probably gonna get there between, I'll be there
- 57:37early, be there early so because but I'll yeah, I'll be there,
- 57:40definitely by Wednesday morning and do both sessions for both
- 57:45days. It's and it might rain, but
- 57:48that's fine. I guess the people were doing
- 57:50racer practice as the best shot. Well that's that's that's, you
- 57:54know, they stay through the whole weekend.
- 57:56Yeah. I mean, that's kind of what it
- 57:57is. I mean, I think, That, you know,
- 57:59like I like I said everybody, you know, you get that you get
- 58:01there early enough and that's it.
- 58:03Sure. Some people are going to leave
- 58:04the track day. People are going to leave.
- 58:05Well, who knows? They may stay because they
- 58:07don't, they're gonna stay for the classic.
- 58:09You never know. Yeah, that's right.
- 58:10I heard that they can't do that. Then are participating.
- 58:12Okay. Okay.
- 58:13So they got to move this stuff and get out but they can buy
- 58:16tickets. I was told that we couldn't get
- 58:18there till Thursday to have everyone.
