Wow, what a wrap-up to the 2007 AMA National Championship motocross season. There were four different moto winners, one very gnarly track, over 26,000 spectators, and two Championships up for grabs. In the end, Grant Langston and Ryan Villopoto wrapped up the Championships in their respective classes (with Villopoto successfully defending his 2006 crown). There was some great racing throughout the pack as riders tried to nail down as many points as possible before the checkers flew.
Check out the photo galleries above (and the captions in the galleries for the rest of the story), the results below, and congratulations to all the riders and fans who made the 2007 outdoor season so memorable.
