I had the wonderful opportunity to cover this exciting race on January 8. There were some of the top pros and some of our top locals competing for the big win! The race was held in the Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX.

heres an inside view of John Natalie's trailer, and wow! is it nice! When I met John and Michelle, they were extremely nice and very easy to get to know. During an autograph session I joked around with John, asking if he had writer's cramp yet, and he said "I dont mind at all b/c I love this stuff."

I had to take a pic of Johns Fox shocks, they are not available on the market yet, but they seemed to work VERY well on his quad the whole day.

I got to take some quick pics of the track early in the morning, it was looking like it would be a really nice track, with a good rhythm section, some NASTY whoops, and some other technical jumps, and high speed straights!

there even was an option type jump...I was starting to get anxious to see how the track would ride for the racers

I got some pretty good shots during the practice sessions, and there definitely was a LOT of action during it, several wrecks and near misses!
