From what he told us sitting around drinking beer @ Grattan back in 2014 the brake pads fell out becuase of head shake.

I'm going to miss the BS sessions in paddock with him

Ski and Quarterly both lost their brakes on the Hondas - my memory is that they were so handmade that the bikes had pads modified for each one and someone got them backwards so both bikes lost them. Ski in the hairpin, Dale in T1 making it almost into the road. Could have been BS paddock rumor and it has definitely been a long long time so take it for what that is worth.

There was a handful of spectators in the grandstands for the 200 on Saturday, I believe they were closed before. The paddock had a few fans but not many.

When walking back to our paddock from hot pit I ran into a group of guys wearing Harley leathers, greeted them and asked how they like the baggers racing. They said they missed it and wanted to know where they were located but didn't know much about what was going on. I think the days of large spectator turnout are gone, even bagger and hooligan racing won't bring them back. Main Street is there for the bars and off track attractions, not the racing. The weather surely had some impact, but I don't think there would have been a big difference since Saturday was pretty clear.

Sadly by far the largest crowds were in the MotoAmerica line to get credentials
