The natural terrain track at Unadilla contained numerous unique features with the "Sky Shot" capturing everyone’s attention as the top riders launched over the jump reaching distances close to the 150’ mark on the side of the hill.

The track also had several other unique features Including "Gravity Cavity", "the Wall", and "Screw U"

"Screw U" was almost a vertical dropoff and climb of about 150 feet which only the Pro and Pro Am riders were even allowed to conquer during the race, and they used every bit off horsepower climbing up hill side as you can see by the roost.

With so many elevation changes on the track, you would expect the parking, vendors row, and the Pro Pits to be on the side of a hill as well like other Natonal locations, but not at Unadilla.

The Pro Pits, vendor row, and all the parking was on level ground and there was plenty of parking space available on both sides of the road for racers and spectators and it was level, which is a plus if you drive to a races with a camper,trailer, or motorhome.

The Pro Pits were stretched along a road and two rows deep to accommodate the large rigs.

John Natalie Jr wrapped up the National Championship at Daniel Boone with his Overall Win, so he put the #1 plate on his practice machine to celebrate his accomplishment, but don't worry, John plans on keeping his #13 number plate for good luck.

After winning the Championship, Honda invited John out to Oregon to film an upcoming commercial and everything was going fine until he high sided a berm and wrecked leaving him with a torn muscle and some serious bruising, but he wasn’t going to let it stop him from competing at Unadilla in hopes of breaking Doug Gust single season win record of eight in 2004
