Is this weekend. Two stroke only 125's and 250's. Predictions? Some notable riders Ken Roczen, Ryan Villopoto, Cole Seeley, Jerry Robin

Some good racing. A few upsets??

I am trying to restore a Westlake speedway bike. How do I find out what year the motor is and find out info about the two oil valves on the bottom of the motor.

https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/ama-four-time-speedway-world-champion-greg-hancock-retiring/ AMA: Four-Time Speedway World Champion Greg Hancock Retiring AMA Charter Life Member won four world titles, eight U.S. championships PICKERINGTON, Ohio — One of America’s greatest racing champions is calling it a career. AMA Charter Life Member Greg Hancock, from Costa Mesa, Calif., announced his retirement from professional racing on Feb. 15. “Greg Hancock is among the most successful competitors in not just motorcycle racing, but in all of motorsports,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “His four world titles rank him among the greatest riders of all time, a feat amplified by the fact his world-championship caliber performances spanned four decades. We thank Greg for being a gracious and successful representative of America on the world stage, and we wish him well in a much-deserved retirement.” Hancock, 49, won his most recent Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme Speedway World Championship in 2016. His other FIM Speedway titles came in 2014, 2011 and 1997. In the United States, he won eight AMA Speedway National Championships. Hancock also won FIM Team and Pairs World Championships, as well as many European domestic league titles during his career. “I want to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone at the AMA and the FIM for providing me the many years of incredible speedway racing, which basically became my life school,” Hancock said. “Although I am stepping away from competing, I do not plan to exit the scene. I have plans that will keep me close to the sport, and we’ll see where that goes in the weeks ahead.” (Photo and article credit: roadracingworld.com) Another related article: https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/8096/four-time-world-champion-hancock-announces Dan

Check this out, a recently refurbished and modernized race track facility that has been for sale, is planning to put on a race this month where the winner of the race event will win the entire track operation! Many years ago the track was to be used for local motorcycle racing and stock car racing. But the stock car racing was what it became famous for in the area and ran weekly races for many years on the 3/8 mile banked oval dirt track. https://racingnews.co/2019/06/25/the-race-at-husets-speedway-heres-how-that-came-about/ Sort of a unique approach to selling, and acquiring a race track facility. Waiting to see if they can get enough teams to ante up the 200K registration fee per race team.

Since were blaming everything but Tomac the swingers should discuss...

Has anyone cut the cord from their local tv provider and gone with Apple 4K TV and still been able to watch Monster Energy SX and then the outdoors of Lucas Oil MX? Is there an app on Apple TV that allows you to watch it? Been trying to research it (can’t find anything substantiated) but was wondering if someone over the last year had been able to see both? Sick of paying so much for DirectTV, but honestly don’t want to miss the upcoming season and will pay just to see it. I know all my buddies have done it for football, but really need to know if I can do it for our beloved sport..... Thanks in advance!

Since there is no longer a street bike forum, is anyone watching MotoGP or interested? 2018 Round 1 Qatar last weekend.
