NTN » The DawgHouse - Motorcycling news, racing and analysis

THIS is hard to believe! Phil wants to punch his man-crush, JD Beach, in the face! Phil is upset that Jiggy Dog did not race in the Oakland Supercross.  Which he would have totally won had he entered!

There is going to be a World Superbike Race in Ireland for 2019.  Does that mean that they are going to drop another race or just add another stop?

Supercross finally gives us what the DawgHouse has called for, an early start to a west coast race.  It was so early that Warren missed the early heats!  Big P, Aaron Plessinger and Jason Anderson take care of business while Eli Tomac still struggled.

The X-Games was what capture the attention this weekend!  The snow bike cross and hill climb drag races really grabbed Phil and Warren (Ken did not see them).  The oldest guy at the X-Games “Grandpa” Travis Whitlock won the gold in the hill climb and Cody Matechuk earned the gold in the snow bike cross.  The DawgHouse highly recommends that you check out these events from somewhere on the web!

Ken makes a rare cameo appearance on the DawgHouse this week.  While said “I am not here to say I told you so.”  He made sure that we knew he was right on Ken Roczen’s return to Supercross.

Speaking of Supercross there was some great racing in Glendale, AZ this past weekend.  Ken again points out that Ken Roczen is near the top in points and that the other 450 riders should be scared, even though Eli Tomac had a convincing win.

The guys were quite taken at “Big P” Aaron Plessinger’s second Supercross win of the season in the 250 class.  Defending champ Anderson is still is performing to last years level. .

1st EVER Supercross Triple Crown Event – 6 Main Events!!! In the 450s Eli Tomac is back, Ken Roczen may or may not be back.  The 250s saw rookie Chase Sexton do well with an 8th overall but the regulars clean up overall.

The 2018 X-Games WINTER has 3 motorcycle related events.  Ever heard of a “Snowbike”?  Here is a teaser pic of one.

Some encouraging MotoAmerica news.

Interesting Flat Track News

Supercross hits Houston and things get Funky!

Supercross kicked off the 2018 season with some great racing.

We open the show talking about the how we like the new format of the race night, and we talk about the new metal girds at the starting line.  Looks like Supercross might be on to something good here!

Moving on to the 250s we talk about the heat races and the final.  The winner, Shane McElrath, look strong all evening and is going to be in the running all season.  Cianciarulo and Plessinger completed the podium.  Phil made an augment that Cianciaurlo is in the west to prepare him to move up to the 450s next season.   

The Supercross 450s saw a lot of action with one of the big names, Eli Tomac, not finishing the night due to a crash and a saggy pants.  Ken Roczen started is comeback season in decent fashion and Justin Barcia becomes the happiest man in Supercross.

Phil has to do an epic journey to the arctic circle this week, so the show can’t go on.

Speaking of epic journey… Warren tells us about the most dangerous rides.

This show is not live

We will be back live next Tuesday to talk Supercross!!!

On this week’s show…

Ken is here for today only!

Phil wants to you to know about new Department of Transportation rules regarding towing trailers.  If you pull a motorcycle or car to the racetrack you might be subject to the new rules.  If you have sponsor stickers on your race bike and your trailer is 10,000 pounds you are a commercial tow and subject to the same rules as commercial haulers. If you get pulled over you might be stuck on the side of the rode until you can hire a commercial driver.

Ken is gloating about how right he was on the return of Ken Roczen to Supercross.  Phil and Warren are still not sure he will make it to race day.

Phil’s head is too big to fit though the studio door!

JD Beach wins, AS WE PREDICTED the 2017 Suerprestigio!!!! He may have had a shaky start but he dominates the final race!

We also talk about “Should “Jiggy Dogg” Beach move to Flat Track full time????
