I would like to thank the members of the BTO Sports Motocross team.

My son and I got to experience their team's VIP program and it was great. J.T. was our "handler" for the day and we had a great time. The day started out with full access to the pits before the crowd came in, along with a truck tour and introduction to the whole team. They really made us feel like we were just a part of the team. We then did the track walk with all the riders and got to go over the the whole track and ask J.T. all kinds of questions about how he thought the riders would handle each jump and obstacle. We also were able to chat with a few of the riders during the track walk. We then went back to the truck and had some great Bubba Burgers. They actually cook the burgers most of the day and give them out to the fans for free. We were able to sit in the truck and speak with the riders and their trainers and the team owners. J.T. then took us back in for the practice portion and we got to watch from the press box and bench race. He was always willing to answer any question we asked and give us some "industry" and rider in-site. To me this was one of the best parts of the day. we watched all of the heat's and main's in the press box, and it was absolutely they way to watch!

My son has been to a few races before and (this was my first) he said that it was the best time he ever had. He was able to see first hand the up's and down's of the riders during the day and also just how much work goes on behind the door of the the big rigs. J.T. also made sure to take some time and get us access to one of Allec's favorite riders that wasn't even on the BTO Team. He talked about day till 1:00 in the morning back at the hotel

BTO Sports is a first class team in my mind and the interaction that we had with the team will be something my son and I will always remember. J.T. is also a class act and a blast to bench race with.

Thank You BTO and a BIG Thank You To Jason Thomas!!!!

More likely it was Cox that he was talking to. Steve's a big Bronco's fan.

The best time to catch me is before practice, or between rounds of practice. After that, and I'm hunkered down working on Pit Bits. Smile
