    I seen a preview on VS last night. Check your listings for that channel. I think something will be aired @ midnight (cst) IIRC.


    Edit: Just checked and it is airing @ 12:30 pm this afternoon (PST). It will re-air on thursday @ 9:00 pm (PST). Again, double check your listings.

    My dvr remembered last years settings, and it did record last nights show. It was slightly more than a preview, they said how well some participants did, including Johna Street. :)

    Wow... just watched the first day on Versus and all I can say is that their (Versus) coverage is unfortunate
    Last year coverage was marginal at best, but judging from the first day this year they’re going to reach AT&T status

    Sucks.....I was hoping they’ll improved :banghead:

    Yeah, versus sucks for this kind of motorsports

    The best so far is the Aussie page. Their 8-10 min highlights for each day is better than the versus coverage!

    I am watching the Aussie site. Lots of good stuff on their site.

    That sucks, any idea of the cause?

    The Husky last year did awsome.

    Its a completely new tank designed for the TE to mate with the 20ltr front.
    30 ltrs would be fine for a 450, Tamsin Jones had 27 on her WR450 Yam last year and Craig Bounds has the same Safari setup on his WR450 this year.

    Unfortunately the Husky is out of the race :(

    Safari designed both?

    Specific to the Husqvarna TE?

    Yes Dean. The rear was made especially for this rider and isn't on the sales list as they don't have a finished hardware kit for it. It was very pre production.

    Much thanks Brock. Perhaps we may see this in the future, molding for tanks is not inexpensive... so they may actually want to re-coup some of that.
