James Stewart forges on, will it be his perfect season? So far no one has touched him. He hasn’t always got the hole shots, but he is always at the front of the pack when the requisite 30 minutes plus two laps is done.

Yours truly is off for a weekend of racing and this time I will be experiencing the thrills first hand. I’m sure I will crash and most likely have to fix something on the modified truck, but that’s the way it is in the radio control racing world. This is the first round of the Northwest Championship...

Texas stadium saw the perfect storm of a Supercross race. Forget a runaway lead, Reed had only around 4 seconds on the battle for second place as the checkers dropped.
