Well, not really. So, my brother-in-law and I went to COTA this year and had a great time. Great weather and really interesting racing. The bagger class was fun and the racing overall was top notch.
However, Honda had a terrible weekend. Kind of goes with their season as a whole. Only one of for Hondas finished and that bike, ridden by Marini, was dead last. Yamaha did only slightly better.
Marquez pushed into the lead on his Grisini satellite Ducati only to crash out on turn 11 about halfway through. He remounted and managed to pass Marini on the lone Honda. He’s doing well and will likely be a contender if he can finish more races, but not this time.
We were in the Turn 15 area which I really recommend. You can see the riders come down the back straight and work through turns 12 - 15 and then head into turn 16. We also walked a good bit of the track. Watching on the hillside by turns 4-9 is also good.
Hope Honda can get it together. Using a Texas horse theme, those bikes may as well have been taken out back and shot after the race.
