Supercross

Here are some of the pictures from supercross at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was an interesting supercross, we have only been to races that are in outdoor stadiums, so being indoors was pretty different. And to be honest it was not our favorite, setting off fireworks, screaming bikes, and the audio system turned up loud enough to drown everything else out... it was louder than being front row at a rock concert!! Next time we are bringing ear plugs,   Jessica had to sit covering her ears through the entire introduction.  And the vent system sucked, well it actually didn't suck anything. All the smoke from the bikes and fireworks just drifted around the stadium, we couldn't even see to the other side of the track. But there where some good things, there didn't have an open pit area. You had to buy tickets online, wouldn't sell them at the race, so there where only a handful of people in the pit area. I got up close and personal with several of the riders, including home town buddy Jake Weimer. Overall we had a good time but will do things a little different next year.

James Stewart, wrecked on the first lap of the race!

Jake Weimer!! Talked about the days he rode a Bill's pipe RM80 out in Kimberly. He didn't remember but I did stuff him into a corner one day at practice at Rock Creek haha.

 Jimmy Button!!! Was paralyzed in a nasty crash in 2000, 1 year later at my very first supercross experience he made his first public appearance after the wreck... Walking!!!! The loudest cheers I have ever heard at any supercross was that night. It was a special experience for me to see and talk with him. Now he runs an organization called Miles for Miracles, specializes in research for spinal cord injuries. Honestly this was the highlight of Supercross for me!!
