.......with Colton going down with a broken leg, I'm concerned with Metcalfe getting very lonely out front.

Hope a fast American phones Andy White (or visa versa) to come up and give Metty some company.

America should be VERY proud of the way Bobby K. conducts himself up here, but he seems to be off the pace a bit. Maybe he is exhausted.

I would hate to go to the Glade and watch Metcalfe ride around alone.

Only Canadian MX? Pfffttttt.Until the injury,it was shaping up to be an awesome season long battle between Facciotti and Metcalfe.Now,well,there you go.Metcalfe is about to be RV of the north I suspect.Sad

Wonder if Stroupe or JLaw can get across the border.....love to have them?
JLaw, probably not.

They could get a new start, we are pretty laid back.

Naaw, JLaw can stay wherever he is. Silly

I think it would be rad to see Tedesca up here. Hell, Paul Carpeneter should come back and giver again!

I do think its going to be a cakewalk for Metty.

I doubt you see anybody replacing Colt, I think Andy White only hires Canadians so until Klatt returns for the east it will only be Medaglia and Benoit in the KTM rig

Medaglia was at our local track last week... did 2 short rides... then complained about getting electrical shocks from his brake and clutch levers... (our track is underneath bc hydro power lines) ive ridden there exclusively for the last 2 years... and it never happened to me... although it has happened to others... We told them to use electrical tape on the levers... they thought it was the bike... then they leftSilly

I think everyone behind RV should go up there since he's pretty much riding around by himself (sort of kidding).

Keep an eye on a fellow NY racer that grew up in Paul Carpenters and Bobby Kinerys shadow. Sunny Drake is racing TM's in Canada.

Are Nationals hitting Motopark this year? I was racing there on the weekend and its frigging incredible there! My buddy Kyle Keast was there but he wadded up a couple times pretty good.

Seriously though, Iain Hayden has done an awesome job with that track! the new dirt is so perfect and the dificulty level there is very high. couple 100ft plus jumps, lots of passing spots, And hilarity in the Junior class! Couple juniors jumped nose first into one of the corners and got all up in their barpads business, funny as hell to watch!

Its under new management this year, us club members are now running it, there were some problems last year and we ended the season in debt.This year things have been going great, and we have a nice surplus to be spent accordingly.

The track can be a bit rough, as we cant groom it as regularly as before, (we lost all of our machinery) but honestly its better now as its actually challenging, we try to groom when we can. Sand section was added last year, this year we extended the sprinkler system to it, as it was a pain to get the water truck in there.

It really hasnt changed much, just some slight improvements here and there.

Nope but it would be crazy if they did, I live 20 minutes from Motopark and I ride there all the time. It's a great track
