The Circus is in Town

I just watched the AMA Supersport race from Laguna Seca and boy was it hilarious! They can't make that stuff up. It was like watching a bad movie about motorcycle racing that most motorcycle fans would walk out on. Poor Josh Hayes would've been better off trying to ride a bull in the PBR tour without a rope. He took two nasty falls over the weekend, the second of which caused a red flag in the Supersport race. Jamie 'Hacker' Hacking or THE HACKER, as he should be called, took the brake lever off of Josh Herrin's Yamaha in the corkscrew. He then helped assist Hayes into turn six soon after to cause the red flag. He later decided to ridicule Josh Herrin, on camera, by calling him 'Rossi' due to his devotion to Rossi (since Herrin wears the same number as Rossi and rides the same brand and probably has Rossi posters all over his bedroom leaving no room for his 'Panic At The Disco' poster and he probably has a Rossi tattoo and Rossi's biography and a scale model of Rossi's bike and Rossi replica helmet, hey, I like this guy).

So, guess who won the race and took those points away from Hacking? Yes, it was Josh Herrin. That karma thing sure is kooky.

Speaking of karma. When is Laguna going to get their card punched? (We'll probably have to wait until 2010 when their contract is up with MotoGP.) Then we'll see the tumbleweeds roll across that track like a ghost town. The organizers did a great product placement for Mazda when the flimsy sign at the top of the hill blew directly into the path of the riders forcing them to ride right through it as well as ride over the top of a sandbag as well. Miraculously no one was killed or even went down. But come on Laguna folks! What are you planning for next year? How about one of those banners that football players run through at gametime? You can put it right at the top of the hill before the corkscrew to make the race, and that corner, even more infamous. Or the banner could be placed at the finish line to make it more dramatic. Maybe someone will die this time. It's seems as if this is what you're shooting for in the end.

those sandbags made my sphincter pucker...the race was exciting enough with out the f@#kED up drama...the ama is still short on corner workers...if josh hayes was seriously injured he would have been dead! Wake the F@#k up AMA, maybe next year it will rain at Mid-Ohio, then we can just get a new crop of racers...
