Kyle running with Devin... ummmm, well it's good to dream! And dream BIG too.
I don't have second moto times but Devin's quickest lap of 55.382 VS. Kyles
56.854 in the first moto seems to show currently no one has anything for Devin
come race time!
Except... TRX#9, who did have some game in qualifying, as he was the fastest
qualiFLYER W/A 55.403! Nicsheeeeeeee job Erik
But his speed simply didn't carry over to the racing.
We'll see in about 4 weeks if anyone can mount a challenge for that darn #7 suzook!

Here is my two cents...
For starters Devin is a great rider and racer. One of the most enjoyable ones to watch. Same goes to Mark Madl. By me saying anything below, it does not mean I'm trying to take anything away from either riders...
Qualifying. For those that were watching, in my opinion Mark Madl looked to be the quickest. I was so impressed with him, and amazed with how it appeared he was pulling Devin in their qualifier. -Nothing against you Erik, but I missed yours. But Congratulations!- Now when that time sheet came out, I'd be damned if Erik pulled the quickest. But to my biggest surprise, Mark Madl was 4th fastest! I couldn't believe my eyes! I just knew sitting there watching that Madl would've pulled the fastest. But I was wrong!
Racing. I've always been taught it's a lot harder to win from the rear then it is to lose from the front. Anybody out there knows a holeshot makes your life a lot easier. So knowing this, looking at where certain riders started off in both motos, I'd like to say quickest in qualifying means nothing. What matters is how fast you can move through the pack and those that can stand their ground when others are on the hunt.
And lets not forget the first few races when Kyle McCulloch fought off Devin Heimes. Not once, not twice, but three times that I can think of.
Now let me state, I am not bashing anybody. I'm just stating the facts and my opinion about racing.
