Super Cross so far.
Chad Reed does the deed. With James Stewart out of the picture, heir apparent Chad Reed and his #22 Yamaha YZ450F have shown the rest of the field the way to the checkered flags. San Fran Cisco was greasier than Crisco as the rains came down, but Reed and Kevin Windham turned in a one-two...

Anaheim 2 an oldie but a goodie.
1986 saw one of the classic races of Supercross as David Bailey and Rick Johnson battled for the lead lap after lap. It remains one of the hardest contested races in the annals of the sport. This year, the second visit to the Anaheim venue saw a replica of that track and everyone decked out in 1986...

Phoenix Lites, Anaheim shocker.
Briefly, the Lites west race at Phoenix saw the finishers in this order, Jake Weimer, Ryan Dungey, Brett Metcalfe, Broc Hepler and Jason Lawrence in the top five. Since, apparently I am too dumb to read the TV schedule properly, I didn’t get to see the race. The finishing order tells me things are...

Phoenix heats up
Round two of the Supercross saw hard dirt waiting the riders in stark contrast to the mud at Anaheim 1. Reed and Stewart were on their games, winning their respective qualifiers handily. Reed had to work his way from about 5 th before he grabbed the lead, while Stewart just pinned it and led flag to...

One of those days
The playoffs are playing out in the football world. Some fans got to watch their teams struggle valiantly only to lose. Others watched good well fought games. Other fans, notably those of us unfortunate enough to wear the blue and green of the Seattle Seahawks aren’t sure what we saw. At first, it...

Adventures on two wheels
It all started with a map. We were camped along Priest Lake in northern Idaho. In those days, we considered it fine sport to take our dirt bikes and explore the surrounding terrain. Of course, being somewhat short of common sense, we decided that since we had trail bikes, we should ride a trail. So...

Supercross storms Anaheim
The dust hasn’t settled on the 1 st round of the AMA Monster Energy Drinks FIM Supercross series (whew, I think I got it all in) mostly because it was so wet, there was no dust, literally anyway. While it didn’t rain Saturday night during the race, the prior week of pelting had left the track pretty...

Some ruminations on sports.
Odd how we viewers identify with our favorite teams. Just ask a Seahawks fan tonight, but steer clear of those Redskins fans, they aren’t too happy right now. But was it really a blow out? In a sense, no and mind you, I am a Seahawks fan. But that third quarter about did me in. I thought sure they...

Just exactly what is JGRMX/Toyota/Yamaha?
The Home Depot #20 car this year will be a Toyota Camry? Did I read that right? Tony Stewart in a "furrin" car? And what does all this have to do with the world of dirt bike racing? Well, when a team like Joe Gibbs Racing Motocross/Toyota/Yamaha is fixing to swing it’s collective legs over those...
