CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "A real racer will race anything, regardless of how it's powered." Silence Of The Amps If noise is the only thing we lose, but keep the sliding, tire spinning, wheelying, and speed, I think I'll be okay with it. I do like the sound of racing engines, but that is only a tiny part of why I love motor (not engine) racing. I would also like to have clean water and air and reason- able climates. Peter H. Nielson And now it comes into view, over the horizon—yes; autono- mous racing! Seb Birdshaw It's the 21st century. Petroleum will die during this century. Children will grow up only knowing cars and bikes that are electric or other than gas powered. And a real racer will race anything, regardless of how it's powered. I expect an electric bike to win a major race, like an en- duro or a freestyle event, within the next couple of years. Danny H. Smith Racing will die off as autono- mous vehicles take over, simu- lators will take the place of the real thing. Don Fraser Millsaps Says He's Done What a good dude! I will miss his incredible presence on the track—a hard decision and tran- sition out of the spotlight. We will miss you, too, Davi! Lance Gorton Hey, Davi, spoken like a true sportsman. You're awesome on and off the track; you will be missed. Good luck! Liz Nichols Hall Unlike some others, he has the integrity to admit when it's over. I give him credit for that. Kevin Burner Thanks for everything, Davi. Best wishes. Joe Monson Archives: The First One-Brand National They [Harley-Davidson] have taken their lumps, stayed in and work hard to get competi- tive. They have even set up a huge contingency fund while reengineering the XG engine and chassis to get back to the front, and [on] the podium. Dominance only looks easy. It isn't at all. Don't forget, the three riders and crew chiefs were totally dominating the circuit for the last three years on other brands. They are mostly doing what they had been doing for years, just on a new, very good motorcycle. These are great times in racing. I recommend we watch and enjoy it.
