The weather gods have finally smiled on this round, which is usually known for either a rain and mud filled event or choking dust that seperates the men from the boys....figurativley speaking:p

The rain has cleared and by mid afternoon the sun had made an appearance and the forecast has set up what should be prime racing conditions! The Youth race and Morning race will have a bit of mud to deal with, but the Afternoon race should be wide open and might even kick up some dust by the time they are done!

The race to watch in the morning race will be the hotly contested Womens class. Atwell needs to get back on top and i'm sure she would love to get her KTM in the #1 spot!

College A racer, Jamie Bithell was getting ready to pull his exhaust to re-pack it before tomorrows event. Bithell has one class win on the season and will have to set his sights on Walker Fowler who has been ripping apart the class this season!

The Penton is one of those places you either love or hate, offering quite a mix of terrain and portions of the MX track. The weather is usually the main reason for folks making funny faces when the Penton is mentioned, but I have a feeling this year will have alot more people smiling!

That's about all I have from this evening. We had some business to attend to so we didn't get to the track until late, and are now ourselves tucked into out $107 Budget Inn.....maybe someone can define Budget to these people:p

We will be back out early to catch all the action for everyone so check back soon for updates.

I will leave you with Dave's new vintage pit bike:p I heard he actually beat up an old lady and stole it:devil:

Couldn't tell ya, I was busy working the race:p

Well, I wanted to know as well about the live updates so I made a call. Monica had told Harlen she would be unable to do this round and he forgot. i reckon this will happen from time to time when we are spread out all over the country:p

I will start coverage shortly, but it wont be until tomorrow night.

The race was pretty good.....although it was a tough one to cover. So much of this course is hard to get to on foot and its very dark in the woods this time of year so we are left with snipet of the action here and there.

I think I managed to grab a decent shot or two.

And I called the winner of both of the races at 7 am this morning....man I need to head to Vegas:p

You say you called the winner of this one, I'm callin the winner of Snowshoe right now.

Morning - Angel Atwell, she's gonna be on it after a bad race yesterday

Afternoon- Chris Borich or Adam Mcgill, Chris has the momentum, but Adam knows Taylor just passed him points and will be on it harder than ever to get that first win of the year which has thus far elluded him and make up for yesterdays bad race

Pappy
06-07-2009, 12:23 PM
I'll play:p


I dont think Chris or Adam will take the win at snowshoe. Gut tells me it will be someone new....it just didnt tell me who:p

Tough call in the AM race....I have a feeling on that one the same as I do on the Pro race...

I say Bill has got a win coming his way. I would like nothing better then to see that #2 up on top but Bill's due.

It will be a good race. I'm hopin to be back on the starting line for Snowshoe, depends on if I can get my MX set up switched up and some skid plates

Anyone know if you can get skidplates for a JB swingarm?

Pappy
06-07-2009, 03:47 PM
Oh Bill aint done....not by a long shot:p

I wont be at the Shoe, I will in Tennessee covering the AMA MX national but will be doing coverage for it

Im still trying to recoup from a rough weekend, but am moving forward now with watermarking images blah blah blah, so I will start coverage soon:p

I've put away 2 gallons of water today....dehydration sucks:p

Pappy

Well, I think if Borich can win or podium at Snowshoe, then you can get the championship party ready.

kamyk , a few just for you
