[QUOTE="HiG4s, post: 1035573, member: 22165"] Reed did not look good,, Definitly was more tentative than last week.. In his heat he had what appeared to be a pain moment. The turn just before the whoops he just straightened up and drove off the track, he was in second at the time. He just skipped most the whoops, let two guys (Wey and Evans) by and got back on the track in fourth. He should have just there and qualed, but he tried to get back in front of them and tangled with Evans and went down.. Just left the track after that.. Came back and won his semi but never went to the podium, went straight back to his trailer. The team manager came up and said CR was just in too much pain at the moment. Main event Bubba was on fire,, pulled RC about second a lap for the first 10, and both were way ahead of anyone else, I stopped keeping track after that. The track had a couple of weird timing sections with both jumps of different sizes spaced at different lengths. One was a triple with a small jump a big jump and another small jump before a corner. The first small jump wasn't big enough to let them triple/triple into the corner so most were doubling after the triple, doubling over then rolling the last one to the inside of the R/H 90 corner to set up for a double into a L/H 180. Some were staying outside on the R/H 90 which turned the jump before the L/H 180 into a step on step off. A couple of riders were slowing after the triple going off the first small jump, landing on the face of the bigger jump and gassing it to hop off and over the third jump into the corner. Everyone that did that always went to the inside on the R/H 90. I kept thinking if someone would do the hop over rail the outside of the R/H 90 rail and do the step on step off L/H 180 it might be faster and it would put them on the inside of the 180. But no one ever tried it that way. Bottom line was the only two that didn't have shaky moments in those two sections were JBS and RC. Even Tedseco and Wey would clip the front tire and slow from time to time trying to clear the tall jump launching from the little one after the triple. Reed got a poor start, 7th, ,, then Windham went by him pushed him back to 8th. Then Preston went by puting him in 9th. After the first 6 or 7 laps he seemed to get in a groove and started going faster. He worked his way to 5th but just wasn't catching Tedesco fast enough for 4th. Windham was as fast as Tedesco and Wey for the first half of the race and then faded, ended up 8th, the last person lapped by Bubba. We all know, practicing and racing are not the same thing. I'd guess he will be back in shape and make the podium by the end of the season and be ready for outdoors. First time I've been to the Citrus Bowl, parking sucks, traffic control is minimal, still I managed to get back to the freeway within about 50 minutes. Would have been sooner if we had taken the SUV, but in the car I couldn't follow all the trucks off the curb to leave and had to actually go to the parking lot entrance. It's not like Daytona where I know the back roads and can get to the freeway an exit up in about 20 minutes after I get to my car and be ahead of everyone that tried to leave using International Speedway Blvd. [/QUOTE]
