Brian Welch is also a big part of this event...clear channel/speed television. He also talked about how this event is a very professional and really inforced everyone to represent our sport well...

Practice started at 11 and went quite well....Here are a few shots of practice and the track...

Here is a shot of the whoop section which looked like they were built just the right distance apart as the riders were skimming across the top of them...

[macsolocam]

After a quick short start and a left turn you come to a lane option where you can step on and step off or you have a single, table, to another single. after this is the whoop section....

[macsolocam]

After the whoop section you go left and get lined up for the finish line jump....single to a table...

[macsolocam]

You then take a 180 right turn for a small straight, another 180 turn left where you have 3 doubles in a row...the first one has a lane option....It seemed that the outside lane was the fastest...

[macsolocam]

Then the track starts all back over again...

Lets get to some practice action...

Here we have John Natalie Jr. with the points lead...He was very fast through the whoops section....

[macsolocam]

#4 Tim Farr was also very fast on the practice track....Tim started out with regular mx tires on and then went to change to flat track tires that he usually runs on the tt track....The dirt was really hard packed and tacky...
