Even GNCC Racer William Yokley showed up at Loretta's, but it was a shame he was only there to watch

Loretta's had the largest attendance ever for an MX ATV race with over 850 entries Riders came from all over the country and almost a dozen made the trip from California with Roy Bloodsworth and his family.

Several Top Riders from California Sage Baker, Darrell Patton, and Danny Ragon competed in Pro Am Classes at Loretta's

It was great to see alot of EXriders.com members at the track, and especially Big Kids Racing, Roy Bloodsworth. I hadn't seen Roy in person since last year, and him and his Daughter Brittany have been providing the Awesome race coverage from the West Coast this year for EXriders.com.

Roy's ride of choice was his Cannondale which he had looking pretty sweet!

blue4life_ImBak, Paul, seems to now be hooked on GNC MX racing because he made the trip to Loretta's from NJ as well and looked good during his 1st Moto.

Suzuki had a huge presence at the event with a Semi & Tent. They had on display atleast 10 2005 machines and I was able to get my first look at the 05 LTZ400. The biggest improvements to the machine were the fully adjustable front shocks, but it also received several other enhancements!

1. Larger 37mm carburetor with throttle position sensor
2. Revised cam profiles for improved overall power output
3. Increased number of clutch drive plates (8 to 9)
4. New magnesium valve cover, clutch cover and ignition cover
5. New aluminum front bumper and aluminum rear grab bar
6. Aluminum gear shift lever

Team Suzuki had everyone in suspense at Doug Trailer because they had a quad on displayed covered with a tarp. The crowd suspected that it might be the new LTZ450, but instead it was the limited edition Black LTZ400. I guess we will just have to wait till after the Suzuki Sponsored ATV Industry Show this October and see if any news is released about the rumored 450.
