First and foremost I was correct in my analysis of James season as it went. Second I did call out his technique flaw and third he just kept doing that thing he does, throw championships away. There was a bit of drama at the last round, but for the most part it just seemed like guys were settled in. No doubt Dungey was pushing for the win, but Reed looked dialed and so does that Honda. In fact that Honda looks like the best bike I have seen on a track in some time. Honda is in win mode and when they get going watch out. I know that sounds a little funny due to the fact that the championship was won by a Kawasaki rider, but Reed is a different guy. Congrats to the Kawasaki team, RV and Mike Williamson also. Monster not so much but that is a good lead in to the next paragraph.

On Sunday I got home late fired up the DVR and was ready to see what had happened the night before in LA. I never look at any results past practice to keep some of the expense of watching the race on TV and most anything on a forum on race nights is gibberish anyways. So as usual I watched  the big boys first and then moved onto the 250 guys. In what should have been the feel good story of the year we had anything but.

Today's day program is over and as many suspected would happen James Stewart finishes practice and qualifying on top with last weeks winner Villipoto just tenths behind him . Most of the players were there behind him in terms of players from last week althugh Reed seems to be a little off the pace, while Josh Grant seems to have picked his up. Ken Roczen showed no signs of wear from a big crash last week and diced back and fourth with Hansen most of the first session. KTM seems to be struggling to make their bikes work in the big class and in a good return showing Austin Stroupe set a time leaving him ninth and first in his respective session after the first session. Later Hansen would take the fast lap back from Roczen in qualifying but it should be good tonight.

As we all know practice times mean nothing once the gate drops this evening and despite our knowledge of this we can all rush to conclusions as fast as possible, mainly because it gives us something to do for the next couple hours until the race starts live on Speed. I am still disappointed that it is hard to find daytime clips or highlights of practice so in the mean time I will share a little jewel in spirit of tonights race and to unexpected results. Consider it an homage to the God's.

As I sat down to make my first picks for Fantasy Racing I found myself pondering the eventual outcome of what seems to be an almost unpredictable event. In the previous years we have seen top contenders battle it out, go home broken and upstaged by rookies. Josh Grant's memorable opening win was something else of course we can't forget the fireworks that were Chad Reed and James Stewart. Ryan Dungey's triumphant arrival to Supercross was predictable, but not expected. James Stewart's win was predictable, but somehow not expected to some and then so on and so on.
