SPECIAL NOTE:
Whatever was not covered in this past weekend's photo reports was covered on video throughout the weekend!
Check out this week for 2...yes...2 VIDEOS! One for the quads. One for the bikes.
And don't miss the helmet cam video from Wildwood, too, coming out this week at MXPTV!
Sunday brought another storm in that got the pits all puddled up again after a recent storm on Friday night
that brought in
rain and more ponds. The pits dried up considerably all day Saturday but Sunday saw a repeat of Saturday morning's conditions.
The 450 A class lined up as the first moto of the day. The racers did not get a hot lap and were left
with a monsoon-attack-like track that looked more than like an enduro race than a motocross race!
Another look at the entry into the first turn. Got tearoffs?
A look at the stormy skies making their way out toward the ocean at Wildwood.
This was a very welcoming site to see that no more rain was on its way to Wildwood!
