Track conditions were prestine on Fridays pratice day,but would leave the question unanswered if the rain would hold out for the Pro main on Sunday.

Luckily riders got there seat time in on Friday before the downpour hit and turned the pit into a mudhole.
This track is not one that holds up well to mud. There was talk of relocating the MX, to mainly running the off-road sections if neccesary.

Would the track once again become a repeat of Round 1??

To start off the coverage, here is a few pics from Fridays practice.

Anyone know anything about the rider who was injured on the step down?
This was a nail biter for me watching a few of the riders that just BARELY cleared this one!
Others had no problems clearing it ... :cool:
