Here's a link to the 2013 Supercross televised schedule....I used this site all last year for the indoor and outdoor series,and every race was accurately on time as scheduled unless noted by the broadcaster.

So predictions ? Villo ???? james "the spaze" Stewart ? The Chadster ?? I think we will see some great battles and arguments in the pits....
-
I'm hoping to see Villipoto show the speed and the will,that he did at the Monster Cup....it would be nice to see Stewart keep it on 2 wheels for once and give us the excitement he used to for a complete 20 laps.

The latest top secret hot setup is to run 10" of race sag, it's the new "slammed" setup !

I'm wondering if air shocks are going to work. CanAm has it on their atvs. But adjusting on the fly is what would be nice,,,, softer for the woops stiffer for the up coming triple. Little advantages add up.

I found a possible error in the T.V. schedule for this weekends race at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington,TX.
The link to the schedule I have posted to Supercross.com lists the race starts at 9:30pm/EST...I just went to set my tv to auto-tune to it tomorrow night.My DirecTV guide has it listed starting at 8:30pmEST.
Check your guides if you don't want to potentially miss anything.

I won't miss a thing, but thanks for the heads up on the schedule. My buddy in Dallas got us a set a tickets, 10 rows higher than the tallest jump. Just high enough to see everything. Leave OKC @ 3 today, arrive big D, Dallas TX @ 7pm, just after the rush hour or I should say rush hours. If you've never been to the Dallas Stadium your missing out. It's unreal how big it is. I think they should have remote control air plane races in there. They could just sell the upper decks and people could watch the planes from above.
I'll be cheering in this order, Ryan Villopoto, Dean Wilson, any Kawasaki rider, BamBam Justin Barcia, Chad Reed, Trey Canard (Oklahoma boy), every other rider, James Stewart then Ryan Dungey. It's not that I don't like Dungey, he seems to be a very honorable, likable person. His Championship he won didn't have any of the top racers. They were all out with injury. I will admit, he was racing like a champ last week and he's up there with the points leaders.

awe...you lucky SOB!!...no,I've never been to Dallas Stadium...but if possible,snap some good pics of the Monster Girls...and if you have any room left on the camera,some good racing pics. :-D
I'm with ya to a point...Villipoto's my 1st choice for the 450s...and Wilson and Tomac(west) are my favorite 250 riders.The only rider I don't care for,at all,is Reed....more times than not,he acts like he needs a box of tissues strapped on his handlebars..I have zero respect for him.I agree with you on Dungey...he is a really good rider,and has alot of respect for everyone he races with...but,like you said,he did win his championship on a dead field.Everyone else I like,and enjoy watching.

We lost a great person from the program (retired) and that would be Kevin Windham. One of the best like racers by the fans and the riders he raced with. He was the fan favorite during the opening ceremony at each race. He would, in the dark with a spotlight on him, hit a jump and go cross track from one lane into another. He had a very long career and hung near the top but just couldn't go all the way. He holds back to back AMA championships in the '96/'97 125cc West class. He was 2nd in points back in 2008 but that as high as he went in the 250cc or 450cc class. I think his biggest problem was his size, 6 foot 1, 182 pounds. In a game of ounces, it's hard to get a good start when your 20 to 35 pounds heavier than the field of riders. At the end of his career he was racing riders that weren't even born when Kevin started his racing career.

I'm with Danger when it comes to Bungey Dungey......Great dude, very likeable, and full of talent that I could never touch....
However absolutly ZERO aggression, poor starter, and fragile state of mind. His championships that he won were all becasue all the top contenders were out with injury. Now I know that part of the game is to stay healthy but still, I don't know if I (personally) could enjoy victory knowing I was racing against myself.
Villapoto is starting to panic......Millsaps is being very consistent so good for him........Bubba has matured and been humbled alot since he came back to the scene a couple of years ago...........BamBam needs to leave that BAMBAM attitude crap in the Lites class...........Canard has wicked cursed luck with everything...........Alessi's biggest obstacle is his dad Tony.........and the sport will not be the same without my boy KDub.....
Oh yeah, Dean Wilson is gonna dominate the Lites class......

I only recently started watching supercross again last season.......I stopped watching it back in the mid 90's (you know why). Some of these guys I mentioned I remember as mini riders from the Team Green amature days.

Indy qualifying and practice on at 2pm eastern time.

Man, just finished watching the main. Crazy night! Dungy pushed RV until the last lap or two but couldn't close it... Stewart stalled it in "the easiest corner on the track"??? :-o
-
Toronto practice and qualifying at 2pm est.Not sure if anyone even pays attention to these,but you see some really fast laps,and get to watch Stewart try out new lines/jumps that no one else trys,and then crash in spectacular style.There is alot of B.S. talking and interviewing too,but it's all good...I hook my laptop up to my big screen tv,so it makes it more intriguing to watch.

Stewart is a turd but I still cheer him on.......maybe cause I knew him as a young child.....
I'm hoping for Milsaps to get the points lead back and I wanna see Reed get that first victory already.
Oh yeah.....I would have to say Canard is a bigger crasher than Bubba.....at least Bubba gets back up and races the next weekend.....Poor Trey destroys his body everytime he has an incident on the bike.
-
villipoto is from my town, i cheer him on
