1. The Supercross schedule should be released tomorrow. 2 new venues and the return of a regular one.
2. Red Bud is expecting a massive crowd for the MXoN. They are making changes to the venue to accommodate it.
3. The start will not be the same as it was this weekend. It will be moved to where the pits are currently and will be a straight start into the second turn that is currently there. Then the mechanics and VIP pavilion will be built alongside that.
4. The MXoN team will be announced at Unadilla in a few weeks, but I’m pretty sure we all know who is going to be on it. The AMA talked to several riders about it this weekend and all of them said they would be happy to be a part of it.
5. Puerto Rico might have a hell of a surprise rider on their team.
6. Two Arenacross series will most likely happen with a possible third as well. I don’t know if there is enough riders to support them all, but one of the series’ promoters was in the house at Red Bud and talking and trying to recruit riders and teams.
7. Hoosier tires are doing well and looking into different tread patterns and sizes.
8. The new Phoenix racing team recently acquired the old JGR test facility and is planning on going big in 2019. They also bought the Babbitts semi which was Reed’s Two-Two rig before that.
9. The Lake County Fair motocross in Chicago is making a comeback on July 25th and 26th and several privateer riders are committed to going. It's a 2 day event with a $5000 pro purse. Takes place a few days after Millville.
10. The lift gate on Cycle Trader Rock River Yamaha's semi broke off on Saturday and the rig is still in the pits and awaiting someone to fix the gate.
11. New Fly gear being released July 31 and new Fox gear being released Aug 1. Look for the Fly stuff to debut at Washougal.

The Shop
.... We're all thinking it.... whose going to be the first to say it...
I'm surprised that Babbitt's sold the semi, I thought they would use it next season in GNCC, unless they aren't doing that anymore? Or just down-sizing when they do?
