Nitro to an M-80 in a Single Night.

Wow what a weekend! First the expected unexpected mistakes of James, wild Pastrana riding, a great track and best of all an exciting race. Chad Reed came into the race with the point’s lead and left with a bigger one. Stewert who struggled to keep it on two wheels all night all but handed the win to Reed falling in the lead of the main event. Not to take anything away from Chad, but James still gave it to him by making silly mistakes playing right into Reed's strategy.

But can this really be a good strategy for Reed? On one Chad has the lead of the majority of the series even thought James has shown his superior speed to Reed's by easily accumulating more wins. Still every time we come to the weekend I feel the series is James to win or loose.

James on the other hand is riding as if he is fifty points down every lap and unfortunately this has really bitten him this year and dumped a bag full of points in Reed's lap. If James can wise up and realize the pressure is still on Reed he will win the championship. If Reed sits back and waits for it to come to him, I believe he will lose. Either way we will see the true colors come through starting this weekend in Toronto.

If James (385) wins the rest if the races and Chad (381) gets second Stewert every time he will lose four points. At least at this point we know they are racing for four points and I myself can't wait.

Once again Jason Lawrence rode a smart race and put his bike in the top five again. There is no question at this point he is here to stay in Supercross on a big bike. The real question is the most fundamental one and that is can he stay on the right track. This is going to be interesting to see what the factories do after this summer and budgets continue to shrink.

As for this weekend all one can hope for is the same racing we have been treated to for the last month. Track looks good aven though the Toronto dirt always plays a wild card. It if ruts up bad it could still resemble the Nitro Circus just minus Travis and his pet monkeys.
