Albrecht’s pit board messages are so telling of Stewart’s dominance. That  early 00’s era pushed racing to a completely new level, almost entirely because of RC and Stewie.

RIP Steel City!

Damn Ramsey’s Axo gear was insanely ugly. I do not remember it being that bad 😂

My favorite outdoor track for viewing. You could sit just about anywhere and see just about the entire track.

Great pics, thanks Rupdawg!!

 

Notice that Albrecht doesn't even appear to be looking at James but rather just holding our the pitboard!?!  He's got a massive lead too! +43

That was the best looking no fear gear ever (KDub). Such a cool era with young Stew.

These are amazing. Definitely the best era of MX for me on a personal level too (20 yrs old, careless etc).

Grant won the title that day though he didn't know it at the time because Kenworthy's (another lost track) got cancelled a week later due to heavy rain... Ryan had sticking throttle problems but honestly it was the best Grant had ridden all season. Yeah James was on another level as usual but until Steel City Grant hadn't really looked anything like his sharper (lighter) 2001 form. He rode angry that day in the 2nd moto. Somewhat 'compensation' I'd imagine for his 2001 disaster at the very same track.

Never went there in person but as viewer I loved Steel City on TV.
