Ping's Anaheim 2 Practice Report -ozzy go- racerxill.com

Retro night at Anaheim is about to get started and, so far, it’s
looking good. The pits are filled with JT jerseys, Motley Crue
concert tees, fanny packs and girls with big hair. It’s totally
radical. Best costume award has to go to Erin Bates who looks
like she just rolled off the set of a Cindy Lauper video shoot.

The track itself looks great. The sand that was brought in is
creating bumps, berms and alternate lines, just like the track
that Bailey and RJ dueled on 21 years ago. Some of the
sections are strange, uneven obstacles that almost look like
they were taken from a Gary Bailey design at Daytona. There is
also a 75-foot triple (huge!), a right-hand first turn and a big
sand section to challenge riders. The racing should be insane.

In practice, Chad Reed put down the fastest lap times in both
sessions, followed by Stewart, Langston, Hill and Short. The top-
five order was the same in both practice sessions. Something
strange was going on today with James Stewart. The Monster
Energy/Kawasaki rider put down some decent laps and then
pulled in to the pits in the middle of both practice sessions.
Reed was able to best his times in both sessions, relegating
James to the second spot. full story on RacerX News
