DMXS Tonight
I want to thank Jason Weigandt for basically writing my opening
paragraph this week. If you are not familiar with Weege’s daily take on
our sport, you are missing out. Check out his Dallas and Reed review from last weekend. I pretty much thought the same thing but he is much more betterer with the words.
The other huge story from the weekend is the championship battle in the
Lites class going down to the last round. Shorty made up two more
precious points on Grant but we have pretty much seen it all this year
so CBS picked a great race to televise in Seattle for the finale. The
young Pro-Circuit prodigy helped his teammate by finishing ahead of
Short for his first ever SX win. Villopoto has set the bar pretty high
for any rookies coming in for the next several years and we will catch
up with "Villipodium" tonight. Randy Lawrence has been around our sport
for 15 years and continues to influence the riders of today by serving
as the trainer for Wey and Villopoto. Both his riders made the podium
in Dallas so his years of experience are paying off. We are pleased to
welcome Randy back to the show and check out his perspective on the
year so far. Travis Preston is a man of few words but is still one of
the most colorful personalities in the pits. It’s been a while since we
had Travis on so I thought it was about time to catch up with our old
friend before the grind of the outdoors starts. Dave Casella, or his
better known alias "MSR Dave," handles the marketing duties for MSR
gear. Did you know that MSR stands for Malcolm Smith Racing named for
the motorcycling pioneer after he started the company in 1971? That is
some good MX pedigree to be associated with. We will see what Dave’s
been up to and if MSR has any goodies in the pipeline.
WWR welcomes on Jiri Dostal as the Most Improved Privateer from Dallas
as well as the Team Manager for SoCal Racing, Darrell Saldana. Check
