We barely made it in time
There was a delayed schedule to start and they decided to run one round of practice and originally the 125 all-star deal wasn’t on the schedule... I walked over to the AMA truck and saw a sign posted written in sharpie that said the 125’s would practice following the final qualifying session (450
At the time Brown and I for sure thought they were just going to cancel the 125 race altogether. I finally got a copy of the schedule and the 125 race wasn’t on it. Brown and I walked up to watch the first 250 moto, got word that they were going to run a site lap for the 125’s in between the first and second motos and would race at the end of the day weather permitting. We both looked at each other and both were in agreement that there was no way we were going out to get muddy and roach the bikes just for a site lap. Not only that but the track would be completely different at the end of the day with how the conditions were. It’s not like we were qualifying and had to log times for a good gate position. We were sweet with just racing at the end of the day if it came down to that.
We didn’t think that would change, but apparently, we were wrong. Next thing we know we’re standing on the side of the track (watching the first 250 & 450 motos) and the 125’s are lining up on the gate. Apparently, there was a last-minute decision that they were going to proceed with running the 125 moto. Brown and I had no idea, we were both pretty bummed on the deal. The whole morning we were talking shit to each other and I told him I’d just school his ass like I did at Surfercross last year 😂. Brown and I get along really well and it’s cool to have a relationship like that with such a legend of the sport.
It is what it is, bummer deal, wish there would’ve been a little better communication but I totally understand the decision that was made last minute. The 125 all-star program is badass. For MX Sports to schedule it in like they did and still make the most of it was the right thing to do and I totally respect them for that. Brown and I should’ve been more on the ball.
Plus, from the videos above, there were some great passes going on, especially the 2nd video up top.
