Speaking of empty stands... have you looked past the track action at the March Daytona Speed Week and seen the thousands of empty seats? Breaks my heart. That used to be one of the biggest race events in the world. Euro/GP World Champs would come to the Daytona 200 to race. Hailwood, etc. would swim the ocean to race there. I swear the only folks that show up at Daytona Speed Week now are the yahoos that cover the races for SPEEDTV and a couple of umbrella girls. I guess everyone else are in bars on the strip watching the races on TV and practicing their Harley poser acts.  |

Yep, been to the Daytona 200 a few times. Not sure if you could categorize me as the SPEEDTV yahoos or the umbrella girls.
Questions are now popping up about Carlos Checa and whether they will use the 1199 next year.

It does bring up interesting points. I think we've all heard the rumors, but nothing is concrete. Do the riders in WSBK always wait until the very last second to announce?

Not all of them. It does create a bunch of drama though.  It's all speculation at this point. Checa hasn't even committed to riding next year. We shall see. |

So the Apes are running 5spd gear boxes? And did anyone else hear the announcers in race 2 mention that Honda is looking at fielding a V4 in 2014?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

The feed I got (from R4me) was from Dubai I think, but had the usual announcers.
