Can't wait for Hangtown

All these awesome & not so awesome Sunday - Monday and what's still to come topics has me worked up for Hangtown.

Will Sexton get one back or will Jett start to stamp his authority? 

Hangtown can get rough...who has a weather report? 2019 it rained heavy. 

Hopefully the fierce frog Ferrandis arrives. It will be good to have him amongst the HRC dudes.

Paging Webb into the mix....

We are in for a wonderful series boys and As much as it sucks with all the recovering factory dudes, I'm really happy for the privateers who have worked hard to capitalize on the current situation.

Damn, I forget AP7. He gotta win one...that'll be one for the book. He can pull a Mutt on the podium.

It's going to be interesting to see how Jett adjusts if he suddenly gets humbled and loses a few rounds, because losing is something he's not use to.

Current wild guess on the weather is 90 for the high, under 30% humidity.

The weather was looking really good 4 or 5 days ago, but the forecast keeps getting hotter and hotter now.  High of 93 last I saw, but it should be pretty nice in the morning at least (takes a while to heat up around here because it cools off a lot overnight).  Either way my 3 boys and I can't wait to go, hoping Sexton can even the score.  Dude has grit and determination for sure, I don't think for a second he thought about backing off in Moto 2. 

Anyone know if there are any big track changes this year?

Hope the weather stays sensible, but I doubt it'll bother the fast homies too much either way.

Hangtown should be a good one. More excited for this one than Pala as far as the actual racing goes (so excluding Pala having the interest of seeing Jett's first national 450 race or the excitement of getting the season rolling).

I am pretty sure that AC is going to return to or nearly to the front of the pack. Probably not at Hangtown, but before the end of the outdoor series.

For several years now it has appeared that 9, 23 and stretching things maybe too far, 55 are the next generation of US born MX champions. By now, all three of these guys should be reaching their peak.

Yup, after an unusually cool spring (and this past week), looks like it will be a pretty typical high 80s to mid 90s Hangtown this weekend.

For those coming out, the rivers are really high, fast and extremely cold right now.  This is time of year with snow melt and water volume when there typically is a surge of drownings after it heats up here and folks try to cool off.  The water is so cold from run off right now that it will disable you very quickly even if you are not boozed up or tired already, and they already have lost a few people this spring.

Going to be fun for sure...  Jett has set the bar, but Sexton has the speed too.  Not sure that Hangtown is a dominant place for Chase, so we'll see.  But Chase is going to put some wins in and we'll see how well Jett responds.

Jett is damn good at starts which is half the battle. I expect to see a while bunch more from him. 

We are in for a treat boys and if  Webb, AC and Dylan pick things up then we gonna be good for the series.

So many factory dudes will be trickling back into the mix.

Flying down from Canada to watch. Can't wait to watch the greatest sport in the world in person. Nothing compares to dirt boogers, the smell of race gas and spending all day outside in the Californian sun. LETS GOOOOOO !!!!!!!

Do you think Jett is not a humble person? When he's been beat in the past, he's normally congratulated the winner and focused on getting faster. He 100% has a champion's mentality. Not a sore loser, and figures out a way to make up the speed or not make the same mistake again.
