Well folks, im here and I am not sure how long I can have signal. I will do my best for live coverage tomorrow and sunday, thats all I can say:p


The heat will be a huge factor in the racing, as temps were hoovering around 90+ with the most stagnant humidity you could dream up!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:49 PM
Tech inspection went fairly quick, as Rich Hetrick clears one of his machines

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:51 PM
Working on even the simplest problem is being magnifide by the heat, causing most to just drip their way through it

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:53 PM
Even with the oppressing temps, everyone knows that hydration will be a huge factor on how they handle the racing. I have my fingers crossed that everyone remains safe and we have a great weekend of racing

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:54 PM
The area was saturated by heavy rain friday night, and is drying well.

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:56 PM
Everyone was showing signs of exhaustion

Pappy
06-06-2008, 07:58 PM
Doug Gust looking pretty fit for the event, hopefully we can see "Digger" upfront!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:01 PM
The friday practice was in fullswing, as riders dial in the track

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:02 PM
Cody Gibson was flying as usual and will be one to watch tomorrow

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:06 PM
Clay Holmes will have his hands full, and this should be another great match up

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:09 PM
With names for jumps like "Sky-shot" and "Gravity Cavity", there will be some killer stuff to watch!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:12 PM
Big air is what Dilla is all about!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:17 PM
Nick Denoble was throwing out some big air and lots of hang time!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:19 PM
I dialed in my cameras and expect to lay down some sick shots of the action

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:21 PM
Skyshot should be alot of fun tomorrow!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:23 PM
The riders knew what I wanted, and added some flair to the airtime

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:25 PM
The light was fading fast as my time on the track was cut short

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:28 PM
Digital dave and his daughter ham it up for me!

Pappy
06-06-2008, 08:34 PM
That wraps up what I have for you in pre-race....

I want to thank the Burke family for feeding me and Cody, it hit the spot!!

I will do my best for you all for live updates, but this place is the black hole of cell signals and only at dark did I finally get enough to post these shots.

Pappy

The racing action is retty good, with some overcast conditions helping to cool things just a bit. Practcie is over and the racing is underway.

Pappy
06-07-2008, 12:28 PM
30 Pro riders are entered, so 10 of them will be watching after the qualifying that is coming up shortly.

Heather Byrd rapped up the 1 st moto Pro Am womens race, but she was battling early with a hard charging Michelle Natalie

Pappy
06-07-2008, 12:31 PM
Moto's are being run smoothly, however a few riders ar complaining about some big holes developing in the track

Pappy
06-07-2008, 12:33 PM
Ant Burke airs out skyshot on his way to a moto win!

Pappy
06-07-2008, 12:36 PM
The temps are almost as hot as the action on the track!

Pappy
06-07-2008, 12:39 PM
John Natalie was looking super fast and ultra smooth during practice

Pappy
06-07-2008, 01:56 PM
Dustin Wimmer is your fastest qualifier and looked great out there

Pappy
06-07-2008, 02:33 PM
The pro's attacked skyshot with vigor, giving everyone good show

Pappy
06-07-2008, 04:49 PM
They absolutley fly over this jump

Pappy
06-07-2008, 04:51 PM

06-07-2008, 04:55 PM
Dont land on me:p

Pappy
06-07-2008, 05:04 PM
Natalie flyin in "close" formation!

atvracingfan
06-07-2008, 05:32 PM
so do we know anything more than just wimmer being the fastest qualifier? Does anyone know how the rest of the riders did in timed practice 1 & 2?

Pappy
06-07-2008, 07:30 PM
Supporting the sport even when your riding is done for awhile is what its all about

Pappy
06-07-2008, 07:37 PM
Pat Brown gets off course as heads for the bulldozer. Tripling this section seems to be on the game plan for a few riders tomorrow

Pappy
06-07-2008, 07:42 PM
The racing tomorrow should be outstanding, as several riders looked fast and very comfortable with the track

Pappy
06-07-2008, 07:56 PM
The Pro LCQ was pretty good, and there are a few that ofcourse wont be running tomorrow even after a good run

Pappy
06-07-2008, 08:04 PM
The super-mini class is loaded with the future pro riders of the series

Pappy
06-07-2008, 08:08 PM
One of the last races of the day provided some of the best action as Cody Gibson and Thomas Brown battled the entire race

Pappy
06-07-2008, 08:13 PM
The victory went to Gibson

Pappy
06-07-2008, 08:20 PM
That wraps it up from me for today. The sun did its best to cook us all, and we are thankful for teh shade provided my some clouds that cut us a break at times.

Tomorrow is another day, be safe and we will be bringing you more updates as the action rolls on!

Pappy, when the atva hires a live telecaster you need to be #1 on their hire list. Your coverage of MX races is the best. It doesn't seem to matter if it is pro or pee-on you cover it all execellent. And then have great pics to back it all up. Thanks for the great coverage.

rageatvsupermom
06-08-2008, 12:52 PM

A huge thanks to cody for providing everyone the play by play. He did a little to much yesterday and decided to stay in the hauler to do coverage and had to listen to the race even as it was going on less then 500 feet from him.

Thats all from the track, we are packing up and rolling out so we can get home and see momma.

I take my previous statement back. Cody Hill for the berm by berm action. Pappy stick to the pics.
Thanks to both of you for the live coverage. I don't know if two wrongs make a right but two Hill's equal great live coverage.

Does anyone have any photos of my friend #2 Joe Havel's horrible crash off the sky shot jump in pro-am production practice saturday morning? He is OK but has a concussion, wiplash, a broken femur, and a broken arm.

I think listing wiplash is irrelevant to breaking an arm and a femur. lol
