rjvoight Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Posted June 19, 2005 Well im sorry but until i see you out there hanging with the likes of RC and K-dub i dont see how you can say he hasnt proven himself yet...he has the talent and he has the speed just needs to mature a lil bit.... 383270[/snapback] How many 250 AMA Championships does he have? And if I was out there hanging with RC and Windham, then I could say he hasn't proven himself yet? What difference would that make? Ok, then when I see you doing the same thing then you can tell me he has proven himself. Being fast and having talent does not make you a champion. Neither does crashing out and breaking early in a series. And when you start a season out with a couple DNFs it doesn't look to good. Like I said before, the rumor is he went in for a medical eval after last weeks DNF. Maybe there is a reason for him dropping out, Kawasaki is has not said anything about it so who knows. We will see what happens today. Maybe he will take a moto win or even the overall for the day. I personally doubt it. Even if he does take the win, his chances at taking the championship are slim to none. I said in an earlier post when he matures he will be a force but does he have the staying power of guys like RC, Mike, Chad, Windham or McGrath. Or go back a little further, what about Jeff Emig, Jeff Ward, Rick Johnson or Bob Hannah? He needs to earn his stripes. He is fast and I enjoy watching him race as much as the next guy but he needs to get a 250 championship under his belt and that task will not be easy with the likes of Reed, RC and Windham. RJV Quote
racer Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 RJ makes a hell of a point about bubba. its true he turned 250 lap times on his 125, but the difference is the traffic. im not a bubba believer and never will be. i see him as a sparkle and fade kind of guy. and why are you guys using RC as the benchmark? doug henry is the man for sure. that dude is almost forty and still turns Very Very competitive times. larocco, hes a fast sumbitch; just a hair of a level under rc chad and k-dub.id like to see him win a couple, but a cup would be sweet. given all that, give stewart 2 seasons (one is toast). see if he doesnt grow up. if he does we'll se it, if he doesnt hell be sweepin floosr in walmart.

iceman Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I dont know why people feel the need to attack rj. He was simply stating his opinion. I disagree but Im not going to bash him for it. I think that with Stewarts injurys that its hard for him to keep up with RC and hes doing a great job. He is riding with a hurt foot and its the one he shifts with. I think hes doing pretty well for someone with a hurt foot. I can understand why you dont like him for some of the trash he talks. Im sure he'll mature. I think hes just as good if not better than Ricky. I just think some of his injuries are throwing him off. Plus he isn't training as much as RC. He's training I think 3 or 4 days a week and Ricky is training all week. And stop attacking people for their opinions. It makes you look like an immature dickweed. Quote
