Anaheim part Duex

This weekend brings in the second of three Anaheim races with a new track, some refined settings, and two surprise points leaders. What is not for sure is the outcome of Jason Lawrence. One has think that he is still a favorite for a win, regardless of the mistakes he has made. At the same time Ryan Dungey could continue his winning ways and put another wrench in Lawrence's season and career. In the 450 class Josh Grant continues to lead the series while Stewert took his first win last week and Chad Reed seems primed to take his first win.

The track this weekend looks like it could be good. It has a lot of old school sections and less jumps than usual. It is rumored to have a huge double and the section after the finish line looks great. It really seems to twist back and forth so bar banging seems inevitable. Here is a picture of the track.



My predictions for this race are pretty boring. I think you will see James, Reed and RV on the box for the 450's. In the 250 class I think you will see a Dungey, Lawrence and Weimer box. However I do think it will be a exciting week for racing due in most part to the track design.

One thing for sure, when the gate drops on the main Saturday night, we will still have JG in the lead, Stewert more than enough points behind to keep it fun and Reed needing to prove that he can do more than just be there with Stewert.
