Title: How to lose $21,000 in the last corner! Post by: BastrdHK on October 08, 2012, 10:13:19 AM www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/tyler-ohara-michael-barnes-nola-xr1200-pass/#comment-224758 (http://) Video included in the article ^^^ O'Hara would've/could've won the Vance & Hines XR Showdown prize for first in the championship ($25,000), plus, $3750 (Vance&Hines/Harley-Davidson purse) he would have collected for the race win, minus the $7500 he will earn for finishing third in the championship. Tough pill to swallow for Tyler I'm sure, he is a standup guy, so not a malicious move. I don't agree with "The Pass", but I love to see the battles even if it crosses the line every now and then.

Title: Re: How to lose $21,000 in the last corner! Post by: BastrdHK on October 09, 2012, 11:14:24 PM They both have Flat Track backgrounds. Flat Trackers will routinely put their hand on a rider to let them know they are beside them, so "don't put me in the wall" when they are drafting in a tight pack.
O'Hara claims Barnes was moving back towards him so he put his hand out to let him know, but the video shows it was clearly a grab of the arm. I don't think he pulled back on Barnes, but he was clearly shocked and backed off the throttle out of dumbfoundedness then anger. Tyler looked a little sheepish on the cool down lap. Didn't Kenan Sofuoglu punch somebody (Foret?) going down the front straight in a WSS race this year? Title: Re: How to lose $21,000 in the last corner!
