    The MotoGP in Texas was awesome! Great action and some fantastic riding.
    However, next time I watch a race on this track I'm going to wear the darkest
    sunglasses I can find. What in hell is with the track designers and their application
    of so much red and blue paint stripes, etc. I think it cheapens this otherwise
    beautiful wide track. When I was racing, back in the day, I would have loved to
    race on a wide track where passing is possible in most corners and straights.
    But . . . tone down the red and blue. It's not a carnival . . . or is it?

    Take a look . . .

    Well Mr Bob I was there and it wasn't that bad. Very patriotic if you ask me. The red and white in the video is the rumble strips. The only blue I recall was on the curves and even that was in /on the "over shot" turns. I plan on writing a report with pics but I have been swamped with work this week. Definitely gonna do it this weekend

    Damn bikes and riders are sort of flashy too. What I want to see is nekkid umbrella girls and dudes with facepaint.

    A little late to the game, but I didn't mind the color scheme at all. Incredible world-class track with great amenities. I can't wait to return next year!
