This is one cool customer here (TC41) ... All this racing stuff is just taken in stride ...He was a pretty good attitude on his contract... View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxxrkWUZ2Rk
We like TC41 in our house. He's a class act. We're heading to A1 for the kickoff (try never to miss) but it's gonna be lean in terms of the big names. A lot of guys are busted/banged up already.
I have not been to a SX race in yrs... Are the fans still allowed to get up to the racers in the pits? -- It might be a little lean but still stacked with rookies and more than 1 seasoned VETS.
You sure can. Heading into the Pit Area is an event unto itself. There's a lot going on. You can see the big oney guys and he lowest of the privateers (not that Privateers are low, they just don't make the $$$$$). There's a lot of other cool stuff too. Vintage bikes, Museums, retired MXers and the like. I was looking over the list of walking wounded today. Things don't seem to bad. Who knows, maybe some Privateers will able to man up.
That's one of the cooler part of this sport as compared to other PRO sports ... I was at the Seattle SX race back in the RC4 days and I was wondering how the bikes and riders got from their vans in the parking lot to the track ... The answer was they rode them thru the crowd to get there ... And yep, JS7 was the fastest in the parking lot also ... I was actually talking to RC4 about riding a Husky when he returned off the track alone. This was pre-ktm days of course and Husky did not have the automatic and instant coolness that came orange ownership as today...so I can't say RC4 was excited...
