If you've never seen it live, it's amazing. So many things going on in the pits, saw big James and Malcolm (who took 1st in his heat and 3rd in his main). Said hello to Doug Henry, told him the things I knew about him and the time I saw him and Stacey (wife) at Southwick with 2 broken arms in casts. He just smiled and nodded. He was given an award yesterday as well.
This was a stadium and Christina got us some great seat!! The track seemed a bit smaller and many 250's couldn't hit the triple or cased it and crashed. Lots of crashes yesterday!!
Matt knew an AMA official so we got hooked up, free parking and no standing in line.
The girls waited almost 3 hours for a Dungey signature and selfie but the shut the line down 10' from them!! They were pissed! He only managed 3rd in the main. Seemed off in the main and nearly stayed off the box. They told me Dungey was "too far ahead in points" and he was probably told to lose the race; I doubt it.... Roczen was just FAST as well as Tomac!
I've been watching every race since 1990 but never had a SX event near me; But, I saw many MX races at Southwick. They are back on the schedule this year but Christina and Matt planned their wedding for the same damn weekend!! The view at Southwick was always limited, Foxboro let everyone see every view and only 83$ a ticket. Not bad for 9AM to 5PM.
Anyhoo, if you get a chance, go to a SX event near you, I loved it!!
P.S. The race is on tonight I believe at 10PM on FS1 or FS2....
