Hard to believe it is out on the net already, but yes, it's there.
Pretty good quality of filming but of limited exposure for bikes.

Few bikes shown, and the same smoky 2-stroke
that could barely manage 150 shown 3 times.

NO Stubbs, Caputo or Holbrook........

I counted maybe 50-55 bike entries, and 110/115 car entries,
so bikes made up maybe 1/3 of the field.......bit maybe 10% of the film !

It's looks like all the footage was filmed on Sunday.  Sunday was forecast to be a complete rain-out and after the crash followed by the rain on Saturday, more than 1/2 the pits packed up and went home.  In addition, Sunday morning was either on hold due to a wet track or was limited to sub-150 mph passes. By the time we could run full bolt, the wind had kicked up to a heavy quartering head.

Not dissing on folks, but a lot of people don't realize that most of the very fast successful runs are accomplished within 2-3 hours of sunrise, when the weather/winds are the most favorable. They show up at the track late to film some fast vehicles, and most of them are in the pits. We don't have track lights to run at night.

Now i see that you have lots of highly modified cars running the mile in US events. Many of those cars are quite low, does there happen mechanical failures parts hitting the ground ? The track may be even enough, no to cause any problems.
