Ironman GNCC

The final round of the Amsoil GNCC series took place at Ironman MX in Indiana. You can actually go back and watch the live coverage if you want. Fast-forward to 16 minutes and try not to spit your coffee when the announcer randomly screams into the mic. You’ll see, and hear…

Halloween

We asked readers to send in their Halloween costumes. I was prepared to be inundated with pics, but we only received a few. Here’s a look at a couple:

OK, this one wasn’t even sent in to us, but I saw this shot of Motopark’s Carl Bastedo on Facebook and had to include it.

Jamie McCoy @jrhockey03 sent in this pirate costume.

Mandy @mxmandy494 sent in this one called “Brain sucker” Nice one.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! 😉

As always, Racer X did the heavy lifting and posted a gallery of Halloween costumes from the moto industry. You can check them out HERE.

Future West Canadian Arenacross Championships

Point Standings after first 2 rounds:

Get Well Soon Kassie Boone

I didn’t actually mean for that to rhyme…

Kassie and Julie have had a rough time the past few months, to say the least! This time it was Kassie’s turn to damage herself when her handlebars managed to get her in the gut. Here’s a quote from her Facebook page:

#‎tbt‬ to last Thursday, ended up taking the bars to the stomach and severed my small intestine. still in the hospital but grateful to get out tomorrow and continue to get better

This was from Oct 29 so she’s well on her way to recovery now. Take care and get better soon, Kassie.

Um, the forecast for this week here in London, Ontario, is for 21 and sunny until Friday! We’re definitely going to take advantage of this late fall warm spell and head out on the Scott bicycles a few more times. Speaking of which, I’ve got a 2015 Scott Solace for sale. It’s basically brand new. It’s an XL/58cm full carbon bike with Shimano Ultegra components and hydraulic disc brakes. Email me at billy@directmotocross if you’re looking for something to get you fit for next spring.

Have a great week and get out there and enjoy this extended summer weather!
