Not really. Lamay, Bisceglia, Cunningham, Oklahoma Mulisha are usually good bets. There's usually a pretty good preview of fresh faces there, too. Wilson, Anderson, Bloss, Bogle, JMart, Zach, Regal raced it before they made the show.

I will never understand privateers that drive 10 thousand miles to chase a few bucks on the national level. But will pass up 2 wknds in Texas and could make well over 5k.

I remember local Pro's hitting races every weekend to make cash. I think that went away as the "Train all year for 4 races" amateurs turned pro. Kinda sad if you ask me. That is why I let my son race every weekend we can.

The only way to get to ride the whole track with the pro section is to sign up for the Future Pro class. You know you could school all those kids who think their SOOOO fast.

Starting to wish I did sign up for it, the pro section looks fun . . . Double double double for me! Haha!

Track has some big changes since I was here in the spring! Can't wait to rip it!

So far so good in practice today!

Cunningham, Taft, Challen Tennant, Tanner Stack, Curren Thurman, Lance Kobusch, Lane Shaw, Zack Williams all came past me like I was standing still. They all looked comfortable out there! Haha
