WSB Salt Lake City

 saw a bit of this over the weekend, but was there any spectators there
at all ?

Seemed like a decent crowd to me, definitely a lot bigger than the AMA
crowd last year and more than I expected. Perhaps not enough to
sustain it for years, but my guess would be that they expect it to
grow over time.  The grandstands were mostly full on Sunday and the
prime fence real estate was mostly taken as well, so things could get
crowded fairly easily. If I had to guess I would say it was more than
Laguna WSB prior to it being combined with the AMA in 2000.

Too bad the races were such sleepers though...

 
According to the broadcast on Speed TV, the largest crowd so far at
Miller Motorsport Park.

The one number I've seen so far is 51k, which would be respectable.

 Checa wins his first race in 10 years. And then does a double.
Haga breaks his first bone. Ever.

Checa on the TenKate Honda looked really dominant. Could Hodgson have
done the same?

What did DGM say to Flammini? And with WSS there next year, how will
they fit the program together.

Batta wants Spies to race for him in WSB. What's the betting there's no
MotoGP Suzuki for him or Bautista and he ends up at Alstare.

How many AMA riders were talking to WSB teams?

Why did the picture quality look like somebody had smeared digital
vaseline all over the lens? Just too many codec translations and
NTSC-PAL conversions? Watching MotoGP and WSB back to back it was like
going from 2008 back to 1968 and rabbit ear aerials.

Were the corner workers spread really thin? They were pretty quick to
get to the riders but it seemed to me to take them a long time to move
the bikes.
