Honda is Back













Happy Honda mechanics celebrate at least getting back on the map!

Short got the holeshot in SX and finished top 5. Millsaps was 4th. Hahn was 5th in Lites. That's a nice result for the guys that didn't have any riders on the track a few weeks ago.

Dallas - Sunny and Clear (edited)













Everyone that isn't at home reading the Everts business should be here at Dallas, where its sunny and clear this morning, meaning the worst of the weather is behind us.

The track was uncovered early Saturday and it's sunny. The dirt underneath is tacky and wet clay. Practice will be sticky, but the night show will be pretty good. The worst might be people walking between the lanes lose a lot of shoes.

We haven't confirmed anyone missing the races due to cancelled flights, but it's likely. A lot of the team folks that missed yesterday due to travel problems are making their way in to Dallas in the mid afternoon.

The track walk was delayed until about 2:30, and the first practice 3pm. The pits are full, so people are just enjoying a couple hours off.

What to Expect for the Dallas SX Track

The latest, Friday night, 7:30 pm.

The storms in the Dallas area look a lot worse on the news than they do at Texas Stadium. Still there are reports of people's flights cancelled from So Cal into nearby DFW. Hopefully everyone gets in on time.

As far as the track goes, it's been finished and covered since early Thursday. It got rained on Thursday night. Friday afternoon was good just about all day. The dirt under the plastic was soft going in, and its the same - thick Texas modeling clay.

The plastic held up good. The field is raised 24" inside the stadiums which helps drain it, according to LN's Todd Jendro.

It's raining again Friday night, but about like before (cross fingers on tornadoes).
(WOW, just as this was typed, thunder and lightning - not Mike and Jeff Alessi either - just shook the ground!)

So if all goes well, they might take the plastic off in the morning. Even if it gets no more rain its going to be soft stuff in the afternoon.

Lookin Good on Friday Afternoon
