Nice gesture indeed.
Even if you can only make it on the Friday you'll get plenty of on-track action Ed!
All classes have practice sessions and just to see and hear the big bikes running the length of the straight is worth the effort of going.

Where did you get that? Tracking GEN ADM tix for military are reduced, I'm heading down for the big day on Sunday with the rest of the Duc riders. I missed the Duc grandstand tix somehow.

Definitely a nice gesture & I didn't look the gift horse in the mouth! :mixedsmi:

That being said, I must say that today's practice was very entertaining....IMHO, much better seeing & hearing them in person rather than on the tele! :applause:

I still need to work on some things....:blind:

Still trying to figure out how to get on the track lap tomorrow afternoon, but regardless be there Sunday. Indy was my first to finally hear/see them in person, crazy.

I think you'll enjoy - the entire facility (from what I saw) is quite nice!!! :mixedsmi:

Impressive performance by the Repsol Honda debutante!
Pedrosa must be less than pleased, Marquez finished on the podium ahead of him in Qatar and in his second MotoGP start Marquez is on pole!
Very high speeds posted by most of the top dozen or so bikes, with Marquez fastest.
Pedrosa must be feeling that he's got Casey Stoner alongside him again!

It is refreshing seeing the rookie on the pole....
Rossi was saying that the track favors Honda - and not necessarily because of horsepower....

[Panther_99FS]

Tires, skill, combination of both...but a great win by Marc Marquez! :applause:

We got a discount, and would've been worth it had I been able to attend all 3 days. Free parking today at the event (the joys of owning a Duc). Thought I was missing out not having grandstand seats, but actually liked the ability to move around in the grass areas.

Future Champion? Certainly, maybe not this year but I'd bet the farm on 2014.
A great example of 'Start as you mean to continue', at only 20, and now the youngest premier class winner, this young man is an outstanding example of how successful the Spanish Motorcycle program is!
I thoroughly enjoyed all three Championship races at Austin, the only missing factor would have to be Casey Stoner, but at least Jack Miller and Anthony West finished well in their events.
The next round in Spain will be 'Interesting', and the organisers at TCOTA should be congratulated on their professionalism, out-bloody-standing! :applause:
