Jamie Hacking on his way to 4th in practice looking very stylish. His crew must have "polished his glass, helmet, and leathers. :blink:

Ben Bostrom is pushing TOOOOO hard to keep up wth Matt Mladin. Go Yamaha show Suzuki what your made of. :cheers2:

In Daytona Sportbike, Roger Hayden seems back to form and Zemke is charged up about his WSBK one off ride. Cardenas ain't showing what he's got yet but, you can bet he'll be there fighting at the checker.

There is a surprise pole winner in pseudo-superbike!

Oh, wait...

[KingKenny]

:willy_nilly: :smilielol5: Wrong topic Gary... but it ain't over till it's over. Matt said on Speed OTC he "hopes Young gets a WSBK ride next year and moves on. The past several years have been pretty rough on him" ... e.g. somebody named Ben Spies I gather. :realMad:

[Gary]

This is the Infineon thread - not the wrong one. AMA has superpole now, you know - and it's on Friday, strangely enough...

[KingKenny]

Shocking results. I gather Young crashed or something! Sorry I was sleeping so I could watch MotoGP LIVE.

Go Tommy and Josh. Give it go and prove Matt is beatable.

Tommy's biggest problem is he over analyses everything. If he could just shelve it once, he would discover he has all the "ride by the seat" talent he could ever need to suceed.

This is the only series Josh Hayes has competed in that he didn't win a championship. Some day he will succeed.

[KingKenny]

uhhh... I set up two sub-threads. One for Superbike and one for Supersport. Buuuut.... I'm flexible and I'll go with the flow this time. Just don't let it happen again! :seeya:

I know it's complicated. It took me hours to figure out how to keep a thread from going so far off to the right you couldn't read it anymore [kidding ya Gary - Ya'll get to know me].

I'm using the hybrid view. It seems to work best for me to keep things organized.

[Gary]

Apparently it confused Uber too, lol. Actually there is only one thread (maybe a little moderation? Makes sense imo), and remember KK - Supersport is the kids' race, it's 'Daytona Sportbike' now (makes me want to retch).

Young had part of a finger amputated last week and visited Dr. Ting prior tp going to the track. Ting convinced him that the danger of infection was high is the stitches separated and he opted to sit out. He said he could not have ridden near 100% regardless.

Ummm? There is no such thing as a sub-thread. If you are just adding a new title to a post in an existing thread, it's just a title for that post. There is an actual button called "New Thread" in each of the different forums (MotoGP, SBK, F1, etc.)
http://www.dooberville.com/forums/images/monster/buttons/newthread.gif (image only)

I might suggest using the New Posts button up top in the navbar. You can clear it by clicking Quick Links>mark forums read. When you visit the next time and click New Posts, you'll see everything that has changed or is new since your last visit. If you keep Linear view, you can select whether the newest posts will be at the end or the beginning of a thread.

You're right, I AM confused. Are you suggesting separate threads for different DMG classes? Hell, I can't even figure out what some of the DMG classes are for. :blink:

Regardless of what the intentions were/are, there is only one thread for Infineon, one for SBK at Kyalami and one for MotoGP including 250's, at least as far as I can see through my confusion. I'll be happy to help but I'm not sure how?

[KingKenny]

Yep. Using Hybrid view it causes the posts to indent differently. Under the Main thread. Just trying to organize. My brain is slow sometimes and that helps. thx for the update on Young. 1st I heard. Long week this week. :thumbup1:

[Gary]

One thread for an AMA race is plenty.

[KingKenny]

ummm... no I like Uber's organization. If you switch to "hybrid view", then click "fast reply" on the very first post in that thread and add a title it separates topics in the form of a sub-thread. Just me... I gues. It keeps it better organized so you can talk about one series vs. another series and find it real quick. I noticed that the "KILL DMG" thread ran completely off to the right in the "thread viewer" at the top of the page and was no longer viewable..... ROFLMAO. So I thought it would help to establish separate sub-topics using the method above to make it easier to find.

I like the way UBER has it set up. I am just adding to it. The Hybrid view is a definite improvement over other boards I have seen. You can set up individual conversations with people in a pyramid manner rather than having to surf 5 pages for every conversation on a general topic currently going. It's all right in front of ya by conversation at the top of the page for each "Major" Section Uber has established. Real easy to get right to the point you want to talk about.

Man this technical stuff makes yar head hurt doesn't it! :cheers2: :rofl:

Matt: I've almost clinched. This is how I feel about not having Ben to race with!!!

[ÜberDoober]

Awww shucks! I was rooting for Mladin to win every race this season. I read the coverage and it sounds like a helluva race? Too bad it won't be on TV for two weeks. I'll have forgot all about it by then.
