We're live from Colorado, where it is hot and sunny for today's 600 and Superbike finals.
The hot weather won't effect the tire choice for Suzuki's Aaron Yates. "We're set. The two we were choosing from were very close anyway."

Honda's Kurtis Roberts knows the track under race conditions. He won the Formula Extreme Championship yesterday. Roberts chose the hardest tire possible for that race, and he was spinning it up so hard out of the corners that the tire was not only leaving long black marks but visibly smoking. "The 600 Supersport race should be a little cooler than the Formula Extreme race," said Kurtis this morning. "We're ready."

Last Night at the Carrabba's, Eric Bostrom's waitress asked him, "Are you Formula Extreme Champion Kurtis Roberts?" Kurtis was snickering away on the other side of the restaurant.

Kurtis quote: "I want to win the 600 championship more than anything."

What will it be like to have only the 600 to worry about these last two races?

"I think it really showed with Tommy Hayden last year. When you can concentrate on one bike, it's easier. That's why Mladin is always there in the Superbike championship, and Doug (Chandler) usually is. When you ride one bike, you know exactly where to shift and where to stop and exactly what the bike is doing. You can download your information to your team instead of jumping on another bike. You never get the bike completely set up because you are giving yourself to both of them. Hopefully I can convince Honda to let me park the (FE) thing at Willow."

Bostrom and Hacking didn't go out, or their bikes were without transponders.
