Pat Brown #199 proudly shows off his number nine choice.
Riders and crew work feverishly to sweep off the now dry concrete starting gate. That would change by moto two.
Dustin Nelson lays down some rubber in hopes to get better grip for the start.
Smitty walks the line keeping riders in check.
Farr and Little are side by side heading out of the Talledega turn.
But Tim Farr would beat him to the line to claim the holeshot and lead.
Riders had two options to choose from. Cut in tight to the inside and up over a hill, or berm to the outside firing out of the corner. Gust takes the outside, while Farr and Little take the inside.
Joe Byrd holds his own and finishes the moto in fifth.
Making the trek from Connecticut, Josh Creamer #270 leads but for a moment over Matt White and what appears to be a heavily covered Kory Ellis. (I could be wrong though, it’s really hard to tell due to the mud).
One of the new configurations of the track is this portion that only Pro and Pro Am riders would attack. What used to be the long uphill to the top of Mt. St. Helens, riders now about three quarters of the way to the top make a sharp U-turn, making it possible for spectators to view more of the exciting racing action.
