I loaded up a bunch of photos from my friends track of a few pro riders getting ready for Southwick this weekend.

www.pbase.com/thomasef  Click the original tab under the photos to see them full size 1500x1000

Here are a few photos, there are a lot more in the gallery.  Enjoy

Ben Kelley is pretty good at MX too. I'm pretty sure he isn't racing Southwick

Josh Toth is fast too and he is on the entry list in the 250 class for Southwick.

The track was mint.

Another shot of Ben

It really depends which area of lake Elsinore you go, if they rode the actual track that’s not the best practice 😂

I get to ride this track a few time a year, I'm lucky  Smile

We had some rain this week so the berms were great the last few days.

We were at 508 yesterday talking about Todd's place and there being a bunch of people over there. I got an invite a few years ago but unfortunately never made it over there yet. 

That "jump to drop" looks fun. I hear its much more intimidating in person.

Looks like you guys had fun. Good stuff.

Tom thanks for sharing! They build anticipation and excitement for race day live!

I really like the photos of the drop down, gives a nice perspective of track. (….803). You have quite a few that would fit right in on the “riders eyes” thread. I look forward to seeing your race day photos. (when you get a chance).

The sand track out in the bird sanctuary right next to the track.

Great pics! Got to ride there few years ago and it was awesome! From the badass track to riding and chatting with Doug Henry and hanging with some cool people. Definitely one of if not the most badass tracks ive ever ridden. Few big jumps that make your stomach drop, crazy elevation and big berms everywhere. Good luck to all our NE guys tomorrow !
