Some good racing, a few surprises for me.
The 250's
PC's Seth Hammaker was totally not on my radar. Fantastic ride from the rookie in the heat and main. I'm going to be following. Shouldnt be surprised I guess, not like Mitch Payton is new at picking talent.
Speaking of talent, that had to be redemption for Garret Marchbanks on the podium after being dropped this year from PC Kawasaki. 3rd on a non factory bike. :thumbup Hoping he can keep it up.
Hunter Lawrence finished a few positions higher than expected, he just never looks comfortable on a SX track, way too many errors. Maybe I'm being hard on him, but I think he was lucky to finish 5th.
Had no idea Gas Gas's Pierce Brown was injured. Really fan of this kid, hoping to see him race soon.
Martin BROTHERS.... f#ck. Talk about a rough first lap. Both brothers out. Loved Jmarts heat race victory podium interview. Asked about his FC Honda compared to this years Star Yamaha and he was very appreciative of the Honda and the team..... guy is polished and knows what to say and when
Blue bike in front at the end wasn't a surprise, be it Cooper. Looks like he has his confidence back and the injury behind him. Too early to say, but if Jmart is out, he has to be the hands on favorite for the West. Hopefully somebody challenges him, looking forward to watching what unfolds. :ride
450's
We have a race, Cooper is on it. Great to see Bam Bam hang on to that third place and hold off Tomac, he fought for it. Love seeing Marvin on the podium, you just never know what he is going to say or how long he is going to keep talking on the podium. Like it.
Considering Roczens start, that was decent finish.
The 450 LCQ had some good racing. Didnt think McElrath was going to make it with Bowers in front of him. Speaking of Bowers, he can make Bam Bam look a child when it comes to rubbing elbows. Guess years of Arena Cross can do that.
Great racing and entertainment for sure!
Anyone hear any news of the outdoors schedule yet? Will we have a Hangtown race and will fans be able to attend? Maybe this isnt wise, but I've got a hankering to see to some racing live. :cool Perhaps a trip to Utah for the last SX races?
