I wanted to make sure this reaches as many people as possible. This is a really cool event, as much fun hanging out as the racing. I've been to Colorado Springs in 1993, Calgary 1997, Indianapolis in 2001 and NYC in 2011.

That's Ray Martins event. Completely different but still a good time.
Did you do the World Games at Budds Creek?

Do you have any info on this? I would love to attend but I can't find anything on it. I'm assuming it's CRA sanctioned. Is it a MX or HS race?

Haven't done the world games, but did the western states in Boise '08 and Reno in '10. Had a blast. Staging/waiting on the gate was like roll call-lots of good-natured humor and giving each other a hard time.

The World Police/Fire Games were held in NYC in 2011. Europe in 13, Budds Creek 15. Was supposed to be in Toronto I think but fell through due to a labor dispute. Los Angeles picked them up for this year. The Games are supposed to go every 2 years from Europe to North America but has been held in Australia and NZ.

O'malley, come on down, the after parties are epic when you through in the international riders. You would never know that Mongolia has a national champ but that sumbitch hauled ass.

Was at the '97 Guns and Hoses Moto event, since the track was closed, might as well watch. Good time, seems to me some cop from Colorado kicked major ASS, he was haulin'. Cool that they have something like that.

I've been acting as a liason between my department (San Bernardino County Fire) and the track for this. I've heard the past events were really cool and I'm looking forward to racing. Dropped my face straight into my hands when I clicked the link tho... across the top it says "MOTORCROSS." Ugh. Probably a cop who wrote the text. haha. I'M KIDDING! See you there.

I heard there is a new rule that Fire has to stage on the start until LE has completed lap 1 to make sure the track is safe to enter...

Cap - just logistics. Flying over from Hawaii is a pain in the but. And quite often I'm only getting 1-2 days off a month
