I get what your saying Bill. Im not an idiot and have been around the racing scene foe 15 years. But that doesnt change what people call it these days. Hence thats why i call it what i do. Right or wrong it is what it is.

I think i need a break from both forums, this stuff is starting to wear me out. Peace.

Not busting on kyle but it eats me up too. I guess it is the old school guys that hate it so much. We are from a world that was different where everyone didn't get a trophy, etc. All riders participate in the start and one gets the holeshot. That is the problem and why in todays day and age everyone gets to use the term holeshot.

In 5 to 10 years it will be what did you get at the win... I got the win 9th etc....

One person gets the holeshot but nowdays for some reason you can get 20th holeshot instead of 20th on the start. It is just one of those things.
Again I am not targeting kyle with this, there are more and more people saying it wrong and I am sure he has heard it used that way 500 times, but that doesn't make it right.

edit I see other opinions posted and I did not post to bust on kyle or his thread but why should it be wrong to help teach someone how to use the word correct? Is that not what these forums are for? To help teach others what we know? Maybe the wrong thread for it I guess and it takes the thread off topic but the topic in general being discussed shouldn't be wrong.
I may delete....

I always understood it to be the first person out of turn 1, got the holeshot. But i'm not too worried about what others call it.

Kyle, I wasn't trying to start a argument or anything. It is more about educating the masses. etccb sums it up perfectly and probably says it better than i did...lol.

Ya i did. Thanks for the heads up on that Jamie. You said that PRP had brand new bearings in it right? And it is double row correct? I never even looked i was so excited to be getting back out on the track.

Thanks again for the help man, your a class act. Couldnt have done it without you.

Yah kyle, those bearings have about 6 rides on them since new replacement. And yes it is a twin row
