Well? I should go, but otherwise have no plans. The last time I went was RCs last time at Hangtown, and took the bike in the Tacoma, off loaded and rode the last 10 miles in - that saved about 2+ hours getting through traffic. Who's in?
I wish I could be there to see my favorite new racer Justin Barcia!!! Remember what he did there last year? (or almost did). Can't wait to see him this season. MX is way better than SX!!! Take pics if you go.
Yes I'll take pictures. Hangtown is interesting, at least it was the other time I went. The riders cross paths with the spectators as I recall. Allesi, and a few others were all within 20' of me. I will probably go, and probably be wearing some type of cafehusky item, back pack & camera. Oddly enough it appears it will be chilly. Weird weather.
Is it this weekend ? Funny I should have to ask that, I used to go every year religously when I was growing up (in my MX days). My idle back then was "Magoo". Dude was a nut ! Maybe I go for a ride and check it out. Don't have a ticket though.
Tomorrows race will have tribute to Danny Chandler at noon. This is the same track that held his benefit race in 1986. I will be cheering on a local racer #885 Jeff Mann Jr. in the 250 class, his parents own the Oasis track in Clear Lake.
At the moment it is about 54 degrees, blustery, and sprinkling. Good info. Here is the hang town site: http://www.hangtownmx.com/ It appears Thursday, Friday, Sunday are for amateurs and Saturday is the pros. [STRIKE]Rumor has it some of the pros may go to a track in San Jose on Sunday.[/STRIKE] edit: I was wrong about the San Jose pro riding thing...
My bike is all tuned up ready for that last 10 miles to the race track, new battery is awesome (more on that later). I will try to take pics of: Justin Barcia #885 Jeff Mann Jr. in the 250 class Some dude on a Husqvarna Any others you want pics of? Also track down Picklito if possible.
All you that are going, be sure to get pics of any Huskys you see. We made Infineon last Sat. but the only Husky we saw was an '09 TE 450 in the Leo Vince booth. It was sporting a real nice LV dual exhaust system though.
It will be windy today. But, it beats the blistering hot sun. A local MXer got some great shots! Check out the Josh Hill photo: http://factoryphoto.smugmug.com/AMA...practice/12256940_qrUfG#873775434_pVJth-X2-LB
Brilliant pics ! I like those helmet cams. It's amazing how many advertisements they're able to cram on one man's bike and gear these days. I'm not knocking it, I'm just amazed.
