This week the series starts to make its journey East by making the 9 1/2 hour trek to the Wild Rose MX Park located in Calgary, Alberta. This track is pretty unique in the sense that it's the only one in the series that is located near a major city. It is so close in fact that the Calgary skyline makes for awesome photo opportunities. We're also stepping away from the softer dirt seen at the first two rounds and onto a clay based track. The Wild Rose track features some good elevation changes and big jumps.

LOL obviously they are not but they have rules in place that need to be followed. I believe today's race has been delayed because of that. I believe the races were supposed to start at 2pm EST but now it's 3pm EST. I'm not 100% positive of this but I'll keep an eye out and update once I know.

The track is in the middle of an industrial area, has been there forever. What have the brilliant minds come up with now, to complain about now? A rare species of prairie dog recently discovered, that REALLY hate being woken up before noon, running amok amongst the spectatotors, and ripping their socks to shreds?

Just a heads up the weather in my area is looking pretty dark and calling for thunderstorm so my power my cut out at one point or another during the races. I'll do my best but that's out of my control.

That is correct, free practice started at 9:00am instead of 8:00am due to bylaw.
Track and Weather are awesome. Mx2 qualifier on the track now.

To enable the Flash Player there's a small i with a circle around it. Click on that a list of things will appear. Click on Flash and select always allow on this site. It should work after that. Refresh.

Not sure why the quality is down this week. The first two rounds were okay.
