Vegas was awesome! (from the seat updated 5/9/08)

5/09/08 - CLICK HERE for some pics to view from the Vegas race, and some from the pits, not many but some to look at..

Right Click and save to your computer here to see some off topic pics of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Quick Time Slide Show.. About 11 meg, give time to download, took about a minute on cable modem. Comment and let me know what you think of the pics…

Racing was great, from the pitbike races on Friday night at the MiniMotox race, the pitbike race at the supercross track, to the Supercross race on Saturday… We saw a few Florida people there, like Wes Kain, the Finks, Fiorina’s, BBMX crew, Doughboy, Rash’s, Nick DePalo, and Jessica Patterson. I met Kyle Cunningham’s family, nice people.

The place where the Pitbike races were held on Friday night made me put my big lens away… fun

Did not get many pics of the actual racing during Supercross, of course I was in the seats, and racing was just to exciting for me to be behind the lens…

***As reported by BBMX, congrats to Florida’s Butler Brothers MX for the following:

“Congrats go out to Forrest Butler for winning Team Manager of the year award last night at the awards banquet. Jason Thomas for winning the 3rd top privateer award, and our Lites semi driver Tim Caruso for winning the Truck Rodeo Sunday against the other semi drivers on the SX tour.”

Tim Ferry and his wife Abby were on the same flight from Las Vegas to Atlanta, as we were. He was cool and talked to us a little bit when we landed. Had a great time..

Sunday

I want to especially thank the Goss Family for bringing Rand and I water and gatorade all day. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

WOW, what a day, or weekend I should say! Racing today was awesome, just as I thought it would be. I said a couple years back that Seminole Tribe IS MOTOCROSS, and I stand by that today. This track is fun to be at, fun to watch, always has something going on, great staff, full bleachers, great crowd and just keeps growing and growing!

Everyone who showed up to race did just that. Congratulations to everyone who qualified, and good luck at the regionals.

Sixteen classes today starting out with Schoolboy 1 (12-16) B/C and ending with MX Lites A/Pro Sport.

Some hole shots to mention:

#114 Chandler

#7 Bollmann

#638 Hall

#886 Couture

#819 Keel

#68 Diaz

Spectro Oil was at the track all weekend handing out Hole Shot awards!

Saturday

Kiss 99.9 was at the track today broadcasting!

Update (9:00pm) Racing today finished at 4:00, good day!

HOLE SHOTS that I noted: (not all, just a few to note):

Update (12:45pm) First set of motos are over, there are 14 Classes, and we will start the second set at 1:15. Awesome racing, unbelievable !! If you did not come out to watch you are missing a lot. Try to make it out tomorrow for the MOD classes, those should be just as, if not more, exciting….!

A few notes from first set of motos:

Lucas Crespi won the MX Lites A Class, battling with Oscar Diaz the entire race.

Motocross A Class Hall and Dube were at each other, Derek ended up winning..

85 (12-13) Class Joey Keel won.

Super Mini (14-16) Cody Smith was on fire, and won the race, with Morello close behind..

MX Lites C Stock #4 Hazeltine came out on top, with a total of 39 on the gate, awesome racing!

Dalton Yingling won the MX Lites B Stock Class with Brad Bollman right on his tail. They swapped back and forth the entire race. Justin Hall was ended up third.

Tarah Geiger won the Womans Class, she fell but then caught back up. Geiger and Greiner had a good battle going in the first moto, along with Morrow on their tail. Greiner was leading came off the finish line almost ate it, Geiger crashed and was able to catch back up before the new rhythm section.

Brad Bollmann won the Motocross B Stock Class

(Morning Update)

Good morning! Clear blue skies… Kiss 99 is here at the track broadcasting, pretty cool….. Practice is going on right now… Tons of people here for sure…..

Friday

Some pics from today….

Not to hot today….. The track is in great shape! The riders are quickly figuring out how to conquer the new section of the track. A lot of riders are tripling into the section, making it look easy…. There are still riders though that get messed up in it. Wes Kain is here with his son Derek #287, good to see them again. Oscar Diaz is back in town, (we miss him at Seminole!).

Dalton Yingling, Chase Couture, Bollmann Family, Rash Family, Jeff Flippen, Faschnat Family (spelling?), Mejia brothers, and loads of other riders are here to show us what they got.

After practice was over Candy and Milton Little were very unfortunate, everything is insured however… They managed to save two bikes, but the 85 exploded in the trailer. You can click on this one image only in the sample pics to get a larger view… All other pics below do not have a link to a larger picture..

Congrats to BBMX - Toronto Supercross Lites - Clean Sweep!

South Florida should be proud. Butler Brothers came out on top last night in Toronto, with finishes of 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall in the lites class. It was a clean sweep for the team. I feel like some of the members are my children, why? Paul Perebijnos, is actually family. Paul is engaged to my daughter Erica Walker. She was down visiting this past weekend, and is attending Law School, so she was deep in her books, while Paul was in Toronto. Paul used to race, won Ponca City Nationals a few years back, top rider in Florida during his amateur career, and now is the Mechanic for Kyle Cunningham AND Matt Boni. He also was Shaun Skinner’s mechanic last year. Paul has been with Butler Brothers for 3 years now. Paul is the one in the picture below holding the MMI Top Tech Award up in the air.

Shaun Skinner and family have been friends for years and I have been watching him race since he was on the 80’s. The Skinner family raced the Winter Am’s, Florida Gold Cups, Florida Series Races, Winter Olympics etc, just like we did, and even a few FTR races I believe. When my son Taylor was a pee wee rider, he would ride his pee wee bike around the back yard, and a family, who was visiting our neighbors behind us, saw Taylor riding and decided to come over. They asked if we race, and we got to talking and realized we were all at the same tracks weekend, after weekend, after weekend. This family was the Skinners. Shaun always talked to my nephew Charlie Walker at the track, who also raced back then. I remember being at Okeechobee and Shaun would ALWAYS ask me about Charlie, and I always thought to myself that this family is awesome. Very kind, thoughtful and always nice to be around.

Matt Boni has always been an amazing racer, and we watched him throughout his amateur days here in Florida, always battling with Chisholm, Skinner, Johnson, Keylon and others. These guys are all Pro now and I just can’t believe it!

Also pictured, and have known for years, are Stewey, Dan Truman, and of course the Butler Brothers.

What do you think about the “LAST 20 RULE” ?

While not all tracks allow minis on the track with big bikes, the below was thought of recently after a young boy, Foster Turner, passed away in Alabama last week, at Monster Mountain. He crashed and then was hit by a big bike. Post your comments below, tell us what you think.. The gentlemen who thought of this rule, posts on a forum, which is where I got this from.

There are too many mini riders being injured or killed

There are too many mini riders being injured or killed at tracks that allow mixed practice of small bikes and large bikes. One idea proposed to help minimize these types of accidents is to split the minis and full size practice. Run full size bikes 100cc and above for the first 40 minutes and then run minis the last 20 minutes. It could be possible to reverse the time or alter the track time but this is a simple idea that can easily be implemented and enforced. Even if there are only a handful of minis let them run. This is only one idea but track owners and managers please consider your responsibility to promote a safe track for all riders.

Info on Seminole Tribe Practice

Info about Easter Sunday.

If anyone is wondering about Easter, yes we will be open regular practice times Easter Sunday.
But if your plans conflict with coming out. Seminole MX hopes you and your family have a Happy Easter.

Practice for March 29th and 30th

Please read, and please pass the word along.
Practice times for March 29th and 30th are different times. These times are only for this week-end.
Saturday March 29th - 12pm to 6pm
Sunday March 30th - 10am to 4pm
This is due to the annual Cattle drive here in Big Cypress. But rather then closing on Saturday we have just adjusted the practice times. The times are adjusted on Sunday so we have enough time to prepare the tracks for Sunday’s practice.
