i think it was 2nd lap 2nd moto that Tomac did the catapult. Not cleanly at all, but he certainly went for it.

The place was packed. It was a fantastic crowd. A lot more than last year.

That is the Parts Unlimited dealer hospitality set-up, everyone was under the tent getting the catered grubb.

Yeah at the nationals like the U.S. GP for some reason you have to pay extra to sit in any bleachers. The Nationals have had awesome turnouts so far this year.

No one on 450 but Tomac, and Canard both did it once in practice and one other but I was to far away to see who it was

Very cool. Pourcel is such a crazy skilled badass. This is from the mxDn 2006 where they had this crazy table top that only the brothers Pourcel managed to clear. Kind of shocking, but Stewart actually tried while trying and gave up!! I don't know which of the brothers this is in the pic, but I'm pretty sure it's CP.

Tnx for asking. Unfortunately we didn't go anywhere else. Sad After going like 200 miles and being up very early in the morning I didn't have the energy left to find any substitute. There where some clay tracks in the area that was in reach, but these ones would have been a mud party not worth the effort for me.

I put the beauty to rest in the garage with the promise to abuse her on wednesday instead (Wareham Mx).

We are planning to go to Mx207 (maine) on fathers day if the weather is ok! That's only like 2000 miles from where you live, so you have no excuse for not showing up! Smile

Hey...you're right...I'm a lazy slacker. It's storming like crazy here...flood warnings and lots of thunder boomers. The mud around here is next to impossible to ride in...and there ain't no fun to be had for an old guy like me. Good luck next trip...and "Call b4 u haul"...lol.

Ha, I will. This place mx207 have a hotline phone. I will dial that number. I'm really excited, because this track is more of a clay track and I have newer ridden my bike on clay. People also say this track has some nice jumps! Damn, at the age of 39 I feel like a kid again.

Damn, life is good!!!
