Wow, after watching A3 on the Speed Channel yesterday (right before the Superbowl... whoohoo!) it became very clear to me that my man James Stewart was having serious difficulty with his left turns. Going for the holeshot in the main, his Kawasaki washed out in the first turn, dropping him back to last place. A few laps later, in another left hand turn, he washed out again. And then there was that crash involving Jeremy McGrath, but that was more of a mental error, as James took MC high in the bowl turn leaving poor Jeremy nowhere to go but into the Kawasaki's rear wheel. MC took James down, but in my eyes it was James' fault.
Watching the laptimes, it was clear that James was just as fast as Carmichael, but man, they must have been giving him fits back in the pack because once he broke into the top ten it took him forever to advance. In any case, it was another fantastic race in a phenomenal series, and San Diego is sure to be off the hook!
I just wonder what they'll do about that front end problem?
