Yes Checa looked Awesome, I wonder why the AMA bikes aren't competitive? We (Honda) look'n good MotoGP also. Hope as the AMA season goes Honda will get some podiums.

Did you miss the superstock race? Jake Holden took the pole and placed second on the Corona "privateer" 1000rr.

I saw the highlights of the end where Yates overtook him. My cable went out and my PVR was recording static in the middle of the FX race and all of the Superstock race. :-(

As far as WSBK and AMA bike, the rules are different, but I think the AMA squad should take more direction from the HRC bike again. I suppose egos are at stake and the Am. Honda squad needs to prove they can make a superbike as good as a FX bike.

I just watched the AMA FX & Stock races & both were pretty entertaining. I hope Corona Honda will stay competetive. Damn J. Hayes just has the Worst luck... Still Super Bikes is a 2 man show. :(

Torrents are your friend... when it comes to watching racing! I don't even watch speed anymore, usually I'll download the eurosport feeds for MotoGP & WSBK which is WAY better, and is usually aviable within a day of the race.

First you need a torrent program - I Like utorrent, works great and it's free.

Then go to racing-underground.com (you know what to put in front to make it work) and search for the racing vids you want.

You might have to download a divx codec, but they're free to download too...

SPEED has gotten better. If more ppl viewed their moto programs then the'd get better ones. I hate it when they interrupt M/C racing for a NASCAR press conference. Show that crap later. We don't care.

Big Red had a GREAT weekend, history was made with Holden/ Corona Honda getting Honda's 1st AMA Super Stock WIN!!!

Then in Formula Xtreme got a 1 - 2 podium finish. Got a podium in AMA Super Sport & WSBK.

Now some way, some how, if we can catch up to the Rockstar Suzuki's. Its a shame that Maladn, Spies & even Hayden is kicking some butt each race.

+1 Big Red made me proud this weekend and a buck or two! This could be the year of the Jake's (Holden or Zemke) if they continue riding the way they did this weekend. Josh Hayes had a good race but Zemke was too strong to allow an outside pass at the stripe. Duhamel and Hodgson get much love for putting in the best effort, but it still seems like Christmas has not come early for the parts. I really look forward to the next race weekend.

Hey guys, how about a spoiler warning. It was Anti-climatic for me to watch the Superstock win lastnight.

Jason- What race were you referring to?

Hey Jason, please explain how you get the downloads off Eurosport. What website do you go to & etc...

First: To start you need to go to HERE and sign up for an account.
Second: You need to download & install a torrent program - I use utorrent, available here: http://www.utorrent.com/download.php
Third: You need to have the most current video codec installed - google "Xvid 1.1.3" you should be able to find a ton of free sites to down load it from.

Now you can go back to racing-underground and browse through all the section (F1, cart, Rally, motorcycles, etc...) but for motorcycle racing do a search on what ever race you are looking for (i.e. WSBK 2008, or MotoGP 2008, etc...).
If you have any issues feel free to PM me and I'll walk you through it.

*Warning* - unless you have a fast connection or a lot of time on your hands, don't bother most of these files are 700 + MB
