Title: Ben Carlson (sp)

I was looking at some of the photos that Jack took and a certain #450 showed up with white plates this weekend.  For those of you whom might not remember, he only started road racing 3 weeks ago, and that was with yellow plates.  

I know he is an AMA Supermoto star for KTM, but I just think that the kid is extremely talented and I applaud his eagerness to move up.

Did anyone notice the HMC logo on the bike?  Do you think there is a possible ride for BC on a certain Ducati anytime soon.  I for one am hoping to see it come together.

 Ben and I had some good dicing this weekend, Afterward he stopped by and said he was gonna do RA next weekend. And yep he's riding Doug Chandler's Ducati. We'll be there rooting him and the rest of the CCS racers on! Good luck Guys!!

Awesome.  I can't wait to see the kid do his thang, backing it into T5.  Do you know what his lap times were like?

He had one hell of a save in 3 sunday. Bike was about completely lowsided and he brought it back on 2 wheels.

On top of that 407am did one heck of a save after going around another bike and nearly geting off the hard way.

A save as you put it may be business as usual for a Supermoto Pro.  I wish I could have seen it though.  I was impressed the first time I saw him on TV last fall during the AMA SM broadcasts on OLNTV.
