But on my way there I see Honda HRC manager Lars Lindstrom and Weege having a conversation.

My coffee was done, and I needed a refill, practice had begun at this point so before I was to go watch, I hit up the Pro Circuit truck for a Keurig. But he does make the time to come say hi and make fun of us, because if he doesn’t stop by, I tell him in texts he’s too big time.

Often he will stop by the supercross press box and call us losers.

See, Weege at the nationals is a big deal, he’s the voice of the series and works with Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart, so he switches into this mode where he doesn’t have time for the peons of media like us. Weege comes into the media tent which, is nice. Lots of box vans in there and he and I were excited to talk about them. Anyways, he also runs an IG account about old box vans and I showed him a bunch of photos I got sent to me from Millville in 1992. I think he’s important, but I don’t quite know what he does. All is right in the world.Īlso, in the media tent I talk to Nick McCabe, who works for MX Sports in some capacity. I make fun of the Padres and Yankees, they do the same to the Blue Jays. Kellen and Tenders are in there as well, we talk baseball though.

He’s also ready to get some free 100 Percent sunnies later on when he plays the “poor me” card to Dave from 100 Percent. Walk into the track and head to the media tent, and the first person I see there is Vital MX’s Mr. I said no way would I do that but yes, that is a Ridgeline I’m driving. I pull into rental car parking next to Mike Emery from Align With Us photos and he asked me if I drove to the race. This is what I drive at home! Midsize truck of the year ICYWW, so that was already a great start to the weekend. I rent with National, and they allow you to pick your car so this week it was awesome to see a Honda Ridgeline sitting right there for me. Drive to the track and yup, the memories come flooding back as always. But first, I stop at Caribou Coffee, a Minnesota staple for a Latte and a breakfast sammie. the alarm goes off in my hotel room, up and at ’em for a great day at the races. Those guys are going to dinner but I ate after I landed and I’m tired, so I bail on that plan and honestly, they probably just talked shit on me the whole time anyway.Īt 5:45 a.m. Side, despite 99 percent of the time being in a competing gear company gets a free “thing” from the Fly guys that I try unsuccessfully to put a stop to. Weege shows up way late but not too late to get some free drinks and snacks. Kellen Brauer and Tommy Tenders are there from Racer X also, and we learn all about this exciting new thing coming from Fly. Side, AKA Dark Side, AKA Vital Jamie, AKA Brokeside, AKA Mr. You’ll learn more about that this Friday at Washougal, but I walk into the super-secret location in Rochester and the first person I see there is Vital MX’s Mr. and there’s a Fly Racing product intro at 5 p.m. Ready? Let’s go!įly in Friday night, get to the hotel around 3 p.m. I’ve gotten more than a few requests over the years of people who want a ‘VIP’ program to, like, hang out with me, which will never happen, BUT I’ve got the next best thing here, written documentation of what a day is like for me at the races. I made copious notes all day long to take you, dear reader, through what my day was like at the races. So go watch Weege, RC, and that other guy on the Peacock replay to get the goods from the race because this week we’re doing something different. Also, the Lawrence brothers won again, which is something we’ve seen a lot of this summer. Look, we saw some great racing on Saturday, the fans were there in huge numbers, and we all soaked in the glow of how great motocross racing can be. Maybe if you get your own column on Racer X you can argue with me but for now, we’ll go with Millville being the best track. I raced it a bunch, I started going to nationals there in 1988, and it’s close (ish) to where I grew up, so yeah, it’s got a good place in my heart. It’s got the elevation, it’s got the good dirt, it’s got the sand whoops, it’s scenic, and all in all, it’s the best track on the circuit. Not the best race, that’s a different thing, but Millville to me has everything you’d want in a racetrack. Millville! The Spring Creek track is the best track on the circuit in my opinion.
