Curious - How far away are you, how long must you travel ? Are you bringing a squad, gang or family ?

Staying at the track like wild pigs or sleeping in a cozy hotel ? Where ?

First time to a Des Nations ?

First time to Red Bud ?

Attending fancy dinner Friday night?

Looking forward to seeing all of you, perhaps splitting one beer.

I’m gonna walk downstairs to the theater room, that tv is about 25 feet from the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel and Shiner beer filled refrigerator in the garage!

Flying over from UK. Should be about 4 or 5 of us. Staying in a Hotel nearby. It will be my 11th MXdN but my first in the US. I can't wait to get there and experience it. Red Bud looks like an unbelievable track

Long story but .......

Red Bud is 750 miles 12-13 hour drive from York South Carolina. The MXoN is the 1st leg of my Las Vegas Motorcycle Trade show www.AIMExpousa.com 4500 mile trip. Crazy part is leaving from Buchanan MI Sunday evening and drive to Vegas for set up on Tuesday!

There will be 2 of us in the Moto Hose Box Van. Many time Lorettas racer and GNCC Pro Christopher Venditti will be traveling with me.

This will be a very special MXoN for me to attend since it is my home town and will be the 4th USA MXoN I have attended. Unadilla, Budds Creek (where I am right now) Denver and next Buchanan!

I am a Michigander and was born in St Joseph MI and I grew up 5 miles from Red Bud in Berrien Springs. In the late 60’s early 70’s as a kid I used to ride my bicycle past Red Bud and stopped in to drool on the CZ’s Maicos and Husqvarnanas. I learned to ride a couple other kids Hondas in MI but did not own or start riding till I moved out to MD in 1976. I came up for the Pro national and raced 125 B at Red Bud in 1979. Can not remember his name but at that race I watched a local MI rider who’s father was a DR that my mother worked with flying on a 125CR Husky. The next year I bought a new 1980 125CR from Red Bud shipped it me in MD. In 1984 I raced my very 1st Pro MX National at Red Bud and qualified In the 500 class.

Stop by and see us on vendor row!

Born and raised in Mishawaka 20 minutes from the track so I'll be there. I've never missed a pro level race at RedBud and that includes when I was still in the womb. Currently age 32. First Des Nations tho. Staying at a buddies house who lives in South Bend that weekend. I saw enough in B lot when I was 12 before they gated it up. You are all going to be having the time of your lives. I'd love for a VitalMX meet up somewhere in Mishawaka or South Bend that weekend.

I'll be at Ironman next weekend as well. I'm still trying to wash the bad taste Washougal left in my mouth a few weeks ago. Nothing like Midwest MotoX!

There isn't anything except general admin tickets left. No VIP tickets or camping left. Kicking myself in the ass.

Coming from Oklahoma going with some friends from Missouri along the way. Piling in 1 car me and my buddy and both of our sons 10 and 11. Have a hotel booked and have for quite some time. We however totally slept on the tickets and didn't get silver VIPs before they were sold out.
