(the next biggest celebrity around here is a killer whale) I'm not sure in he's running a true formula xtreme bike this year, or a modded supersport bike. I think the latter, as he's racing in something like 5 different series this year, and I think F Xtreme is an AMA exclusive.

With the confusing mix of Superbike, Superstock, Formula Xtreme and who races in what class the mess that occured during the 200 race may be a preview of what we have in store for this season. I just hope they have the resources to regroup and get it sorted for the racers and the fans. The AMA has got its troubles, that is for sure.

The '06 season is early, but this year's Buell racers would have to be categorized as "disappointing".

Chad Reed raced with a separated shoulder... & Stewart had a thrashing crash, but he still managed to finish strong. The camera work for the Supercross was great -- unfortunatley, Speed went to commercial break way too often. They need competition The Supercross race also had strong competitors.
