Thor/Parts Unlimited: Atlanta SX

The Georgia Dome is consistently one of
the most exciting stops on the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series,
and this past weekend was no exception.  Almost 70,000 fans packed the
Dome to cheer on their favorite riders, and take in a terrific night of
action on the track.

Off the track, that excitement carried over
to the return of Thor TV.  Not only did some of the top names from SX
and MX stop by, but Thor TV was also excited to welcome NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series champion, Ron Hornaday.  Hornaday, as many of you
may know, has been racing with Ricky Carmichael on the NASCAR Truck
Series circuit, and Saturday he came out to Atlanta to show his support
for SX and his teammate, Ricky Carmichael, who got the race started
with the opening parade lap.  You can watch the video of Ron Hornaday,
who shared the Thor TV stage with Tim Ferry by clicking on the photo
below.

The marquee guest of the evening was
Monster Energy Kawasaki and Thor rider Ryan Villopoto.  Ryan let us in
on some of thoughts on the season thus far, and how he is planning on
attacking the second half of the season.

On the track in Atlanta, Thor and
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders Christophe Pourcel and Dean
Wilson had great performances in the second round of the East Coast
Lites class.  Dean set the pace by leading the first nine laps in the
main event, but Christophe would not be denied his second win of the
season.  Dean continued to push, and finished the evening with a very
respectable fourth place finish in only his second professional race.
