McThoughts | Anaheim 1 Supercross | 250 Class By Jeff McConkey SX is back and we had some very good racing in the 250 West opener. I don’t think the West is as stacked as it normally is, but it should offer great racing all season. We had 5 riders going into the main event with prior 250 SX wins. I don’t think we will have one dominant winner, but
McThoughts | 2017 Monster Energy Supercross | 450 Class By Jeff McConkey Once again, heading into the 2017 we are blessed with an absolutely stacked 450 SX class. We have former 450 champs, former 250SX champs, former World champions, National champions, heck… we even have a Canadian champion lining up. As usual, the terrible injury bug will rob us of a few racers, but let’s hope I’m wrong. We are about
McThoughts | Canadian AX Tour | Barrie Round 2 By Jeff McConkey Round 2 of the Canadian National AX Tour kicked off Saturday night at the Molson Center in Barrie, Ontario. Once again, the Pro turnout was great. The track was quite a bit tighter than last week and made for some close racing. Early on in practice, the guys had gotten down to the plywood in spots. The track
McThoughts | Canada AX Tour Round 1 | Sarnia, Ontario By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford Round 1 of the 2016 Canadian National AX Tour went off this past Saturday night in Sarnia, Ontario. The race was actually held outside at a pretty cool venue. Despite the very cool temperatures, there was a really decent Pro turnout. This was my first AX Tour event, and I was pleased to
McThoughts | Ironman MX National | 450 Class By Jeff McConkey The final round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross season was this past Saturday at Ironman Raceway. The track was rough, the ruts were deep and the weather was really hot. Like the majority of the season, it was ‘The Ken Roczen Show.’ This year Ken was on a different level and really raced by himself. He was never
McThoughts | Ironaman MX National | 250 Class By Jeff McConkey The final round in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross series was this past Saturday in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The day started out dark and wet, but after qualifying the sun came out and made a wet, soggy track into a really good track to race on. Like always, the top guys were out front, but there was a complete
McThoughts | Parts Canada Walton Pro Open | Super Final By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford The first ever Parts Canada Walton Pro Open event went off this past Sunday. The weather from Friday on played havoc on the track. It was amazing to see the entire Walton crew come together and give the racers a great track on Sunday. There was a cool new format and a lot
McThoughts|RJ’s National|MX1 Class By Jeff McConkey Photos by Tyler Spikman (@Spikman) Congratulation to our new 2016 MX1 champion, Davi Millsaps. Davi was very impressive all year, and pretty much put it to the competition. Right behind Davi, we had a very stacked class and a ton of guys who could have won in any other season. The racing was good throughout the season, and we had a few surprises. Kaven
McThoughts|Women’s East Nationals|RJ’s Round 4 By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford The fourth and final round of the Women’s East Nationals went off on Saturday at RJ’s. The turnout was weak (23 riders) for whatever reasons, but the action was still very good. This was the first time where our young champion was really challenged in both motos. Shannon Fleming looked like she had a moto win in her
McThoughts|RJ’s National|MX2 Class By Jeff McConkey Photos by Tyler Spikman (@spikman) Round 10 for the MX2 class went off with a bang on Sunday. Up front, we had some drama with Cole Thompson and Dylan Wright. These two guys want to win so bad each and every time on the track. The track was very narrow and made it really hard to pass. Once again, the top guys were on
