all this begs for a chat room

I suck at catching things in the moment.

Can't believe I missed two days in a row.

race is in about 1-2mins. (1:48EST). ETA: i hear the chimes now... i have green!

you can find rider profiles here http://www.dataplaza.keirininfo.or.j...0060221&RNO=11 (note the gearing --ギア倍数-- is 3.57-3.71)

last race of the day at 2:30EST.

HAHA. Yes, I am to say the least, EXCITED. By excited I mean, EXCITED.

Black wants it this time

pete! says on pink
I say green

****!

****...

So that's why I never get to see these: they're in the freaking early morning here on the east coast.

first race was at 8:48PM, and roughly every halfhour until 2:30AM (EST). next time... :)

there are some races at some different tracks today (2/22 in japan), but i do not know if they are streamed.

this race is purple's race, no doubt.

green...green...rahrahrah!

eta: last.

5th this time, getting better!

2nd, score!

i was rooting for purple too. didn't think he'd make it through the pack at the end.

Goddamnit.

otsu: yellow. he's due again.

AKell, are you taping these races by chance?

nope, just watching the net streams. I'll try to capture some of tonight's races though.
