Crowd was very small and I was able to go anywhere I wanted and find a good spot at the fence. I have been attending Millville for over 10 years and this was definately the smallest turnout of all. I thought it was great at the time but it makes you wonder why.

DC move the date back to August please ! ! !

And nice to see Stupidcross reach Millville ....... NOT ! ! ! The hip jump to mound in the old 6-pack section they turned into a rutted 70ft double just didn't need to happen imo. Please carve out a different spot to put the Monster can't-see-anything-around-it vip center, t-shirt trailers etc. One of the best parts of that place is hanging out in the middle and seeing most of the track as it circles you on the hills.

Thurs-Fri track was fun as hell for us old slow peeps and as usual had my hopes of triple clearing majesty dashed by my own mortality.

Nice seein you all bundled up Lee.

When I heard about the changes online... I thought they would suck but they were Great

Whoops were as small as the the whoops of the early 80s

My 82 RM125 could Blitz them (I'm not shitting, I've raced there forever)

The Jumps have all been SUPERSIZED

I was actually chilled in the last Moto and I had a long sleeve and blue jeans.

Grant was Fastest ( Reminds me of myself HAR!)

Barcia is a Stylish awesome rider and will WIN as soon as he gets a little meat on his bones.

Alex Martin looked great

Tucker Hibbert looked great

The Dehn Brothers rode better than there results showed.

Kyle Regal.....2 nd moto...WOW

Sean Hackley can't get a break, first lap of the Loud class he went down exiting the Hoops and Regal went down too

The Loud class was pretty much single file but the Louder class had some good battles through the field

2 stroke race was embarassingly small-> only 15 guys -> Needs 40 riders

Crowd was the smallest since 1983 / Economy? Lack of Mega Stars? RC JS

Drove in and parked , No waiting

Drove out at the end of day with ZERO waiting (I have sat in longer traffic lines in a Wal Mart parking lot.)

You could walk anywhere you wanted with no lines.

No food lines

No lines at the tunnels

Not sure about the Pisser lines ( I hit the woods)

Walk up to the fence anywhere.

Any complaints.................... 1 BIG ONE--> BRING BACK THE MORNING QUALIFIERS!
Timing sucks and I have no reason to show up early anymore.
None
Did you hear the KTM 250's? They sounded like they were under water!! Blubbery.

Had the pleasure of finally meeting Highsider, a very cool dude and a pleasure to bench race with.

I agree with the other guy about the Monster setup in the infield, was blocking a critical section of the track from where I watch from.

I was shocked at the attendance. Not sure why the low numbers, but nobody in my crew liked the idea of a Saturday race. I am on the fence. Would like to have it back in August though.

All those 4 strokes sound like Shit to me.

I was looking for your Tat but didn't see you.
Were you on the East side of the Holy Donnie Jump?

I like Saturday
Got home and tipped a few cold ones and went riding Sunday

July seemed weird after all these years

My 16 yr old son Justis had a good day

The kid looks happy to say the least!

I kept an eye out for you too.. was at the inside corner, at the exit of the horseshoe before holy Schmit. Right where Pourcel crashed.

I was sitting in the neighborhood
50 feet from where Poucell went down.

We could've talked shit about 4 bangers all day.

I saw a few ladies over there with Winter Jackets
Strange day indeed.

Sounds like a great day to be a spectator there. Been there and love the place. IMO, a beautiful MX facility.

We use to stay in Rochester in later 90s/early 2000s when the race would happen in Aug..

Use to be first race for new Pros after LL's if not mistaken.

The long whoops didn't look anywhere near the depth when we raced there..

Sounds like you all had a pretty good time Lee!
