I will do my best to get some photo and info up this evening as the hotel internet is working just about as well as the crappy sub I had delivered for dinner at 11pm....yuck!

The weather was warm this evening, and the t-storm alerts are going off non-stop as they move into the area. The forecast i good, and the area could use just a splash of the wet stuff!

The atmosphere is so laid back you would think there wasn't a national race on for tomorrow! I broke out the fisheye for some fun with folks at registration

Pappy
05-30-2008, 10:59 PM
The rolling hills of Kentucky are exactly what best describes the area, and the couse look to be difficcult to follow for fans as it is run out in them thar' hills!

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:01 PM
Registration was a snap at 8pm, with virtually no lines to deal with

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:03 PM
This round will mark the emergence of Rath Racing and Team Polaris in the GNCC Series. I hope they brought their A game, there will be no mercy spared on them as the series front runners will look to dominate the respctive classes

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:05 PM
The pit area is spread out, and it was not uncommon to feel like the attendence numbers are way down. I did not ask for the number of entries, it;s just being so vast it's hard to get a grasp on who all had arrived

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:07 PM
As usual, casual conversation breaks out at almost anytime, adding to the family atmosphere found in the series

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:08 PM
And you can always count on some humor and good old American pride!!

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:10 PM
Arriving late always bums me out, and getting creative and artistic gives way to exhaustion as the sun set on Sparta

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:16 PM
Raceday pix "Digital Dave" still had enough energy to throw big John a hand and still show everyone he has some muscles! Dave has been training for his upcoming Industry race at Yadkinville. Go get'em Dave!!

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:18 PM
With no angry crowds to register this evening, the ladies at registration were full of smiles

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:20 PM
For Kyle Riley, me being tired was a sure sign to him that I was old:p Kyle is a machine aboard a quad and is really stoked about tomorrows race.

Pappy
05-30-2008, 11:27 PM
For Pro rider Brent Sturdivant, the season has been filled with problems. This round he will be on a brand new machine and hopes to have made headway on many of the issues brought forth by running the new machines in 2008.

While the entire Can Am crew has been nothing but professional, we all know they want a shot at running upfront each round and are all working hard to make that a reality.

Brent can only hope they have this thing ready to rock along with his fellow Can Am compatriots<----damn big word for 2 am:eek2:


I will do my best to keep coverage rolling tomorrow and my son will be doing his best with updates.

Everyone be safe, and we will see you in the wee hours of the morning!

McGill had a stick drove up under the left front of his bike and he couldn't turn left. Pit crew got it out and he is back in the game. Checkers or Wreckers lap.

Racer productions is reporting that Mcgill is riding as if he is on a mission. We could see an upset in points leader if Ballance stays in first. There is only 39 seconds seperating first through fifth place:eek:

Hmmmmmm, I may be calling for a boat soon. I've had storms all day, hail and now the water is running off my well road like a flooded river. The gravel in my driveway is all over the field.

Mcgill has no reason to hang his head. He is only 35 seconds off of Ballance's bumper:eek:

As we all know in racing, anything can happen:D

Everyone I know that bought KTM's on their own are not racing them anymore because they couldn't keep them running. At least Can-Am helps

Racer reports at the ten mile marker state that Mcgill seems to be dropping back some. Just confirmed that Mcgill has broken down somewhere between the 7 and 9 mile marker

Why isnt KTM helping?? I read they were so into factory help even for the amateur rider. You could go to there tent & help you out, is this not true?? We are looing to get KTM mx for next year but if no help:confused:

Pappy, I guess he'll be banging his head now. Adam always says the last lap is checkers or wreckers....I guess this race is wreckers.

BTW, does not body care that i need an ark? ;)

Obviously a big congrats to Bill on his take over of the points lead. He is a good man. Champs are not judged soley on wins.

As a resident of the KTM tent I can tell you that there have been several times amateurs have come up before a race and needed a part and the crew passed out parts like the amateur was a memeber of the pro team. I've even seen them give away tires.

Still plenty checkers left for McGill to grab this year. He doesnt need to bang his head-- things happen but overall this was a good race.

Ballance takes over points lead.

McGill broke rear sprocket

Taylor Kiser wrecked on first lap in the first turn, wrecked HARD at two mile marker on the first lap , and fought the bike throughout the entire race.


Congratulations to all racers:)
