Supercross to Spring Break

Welcome back race fans! Well this weekend came and went much in the way I thought it would. This cat and mouse points championship is coming right down to the end with Reed still leading by eight. Stewert rode sharp all night and despite a few near misses he came away showing he is still the man to beat.
In the Lites division Christophe Pourcel capped off a championship run with a huge exclamation mark. He rode hard and determined all night, while his other potential title contenders crashed or started slow. This has to be one of the better comeback stories of all time. I am really happy for Christophe.
The real story through out the whole night seemed to be what the track was going to do. You could see that the Lites guys had a little better time at it early in the night, but the Supercross guys were tiptoeing by the end of the night. The question I kept asking myself is how does this still happen. Is it really that hard to find better dirt for a top-notch race like a Supercross?
Now the series turns to the south and we can see if we get some good sun block racing as I like to call it. The series comes to a new venue in Jacksonville and right in the heart of spring break. I am hoping we see some good dirt, good racing and most importantly a continuing championship battle when it is all said and done.
Good job to Josh Hill for really pushing hard this weekend. I have always liked him and it is great to see him up front. This year has proven that sixth through twelfth can be a real toss up.
I will finish with a back up statement to how I felt last week in terms of the championship. If Reed waits for James to make a mistake and hand it to him again he will lose. Chad must finish ahead of James at least once to win it. He doesn't have to win, just finish ahead of him in one of the remaining races.
