Yesterday I attended my first Supercross event and it was pretty neat! Apparently it was a big deal that the top supercross racers were in SLC. It had been 5 years since they were here last. Chris was sooo excited for the event. He wanted to hang out all day in the rain before the race started just to be part of the hoopla. He had "pit" passes which are like backstage passes to the rest of us. By nighttime, the weather was perfect. The rain cleared up and racing conditions were good for the riders. There is a big showdown between racers Chad Reid and James Stewart. You can't be fans of both apparently because they don't like one another. Chris is a big James Stewart fan. Since they are neck in neck in the competition and James won last night, Chris got pretty excited. Here are photos of Chad winning most of the race and then James passing him at the end to win this leg. It was intense. And next weekend is the finals in Las Vegas. That will determine the overall winner and yep, we are headed down there for the big showdown.
Here is the track. I can't believe how many people are into this sport!
Chad Reid is ahead of James Stewart here. James is in blue and Chad has the yellow bike.
James just passed Chad here
Chris's friend Jake Weimer who won 2nd in the lites division.
