Just had to resurrect this one for Laguna!

[gtrpimp76]

That rocks bigoltool!!!

I whipped that up last year after Pedro took Hayden out at the end of the season!

Hayden has is work cut out for him this weekend though!

Practice just started again, you can tell Nicky has a home turf advantage- pops off a 1'34" first lap, the next closest was TEN SECONDS slower!!

[Shibumi]

Oops, Stoner is down to 1'23", about one second faster than Hayden so far...

[Shibumi]

Update-

[Shibumi]

Whoa, MELANDRI??

[Shibumi]

Only 3 in the 1'22"s so far- looks like the three wild cards are about 3 seconds off the pace, but Roger Lee is showing he knows the track...

[Shibumi]

Final-looks like Hayden worked like a dog, went 36 laps in the hour and layed down his best lap on 35!

Stoner did best though...
