Try my best

Remember last year’s (2011) San Diego Supercross? We’ll we are here to remind you! Read all about it below …

Chad Reed wins San Diego Supercross. Eli Tomac wins his first ever 250 Lites Supercross Main Event. The points in all series are closer than ever with Ryan Villopoto leading James Stewart by three points in premiere Supercross, as the series heats up going to Atlanta next weekend!

Qualcomm Stadium

It was expected to rain all day and night. But during the day, it only rained a bit off and on. The track was covered to protect it from the rain and be maintained for the night time program. It did start to rain more as the night time program was getting under way. However, the Feld Motor Sports / Dirt Wurx crew know how to do their jobs. The track is in great condition as the opening ceremonies get under way before the first heat race of the night.

The first 250 West Heat takes off!

The track is a bit slick, and it is raining, but all-in-all everything is in good shape. The early leader is Nicholas Paluzzi on the 72 Yamaha. He’s followed very closely by Jim Decotis (66). Tyla Rattray is third, followed Broc Tickle in fourth and Ryan Morais in fifth.

In the 6 lap qualifier, Paluzzi is leading on the last lap, but Decotis makes a pass on a tight left hand corner. They both bobble and it makes room for Broc Tickle to pass! At the finish it’s Tickle with the win! Decotis is second, Paluzzi third, Rattray fourth, and Morais fifth.

A Supercross is usually filled with its share of dramatic moments. From the jump off the gate to those first turn pile ups, all the way to that finish and everything in between, the action at Supercross is always nonstop.

The 2010 Phoenix Supercross had more dramatic moments than your normal race. However it was in those days that followed that the drama grew with various opinions that were blasted across message boards and blogs. I certainly appreciated the hot topics brought to the surface by the many people who love the sport of Supercross. And like you I have my own thoughts on the James Stewart and Chad Reed ‘incident’ …

It was just one year ago when a controversy made headlines with Jason Lawrence, Josh Hansen and Steve Boniface were ‘fighting’.

The backlash for those guys were met by AMA officials. Last year the Rules stated that the following offense is subject to disciplinary action:

An attack on a Racing official and/or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a fight anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after an AMA Supercross meet. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense.

My point here is that Supercross is no stranger to its share of drama but in the aftermath of last year, and now Phoenix, what does it take to show some true sportsmanship and character in tough occupation?

James commented thru his blog initially. Info on Chad Reed came thru Kawasaki and Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager Mike Fisher stated that Chad would not return to racing until he is 100 percent. Chad is expected to miss a minimum of six weeks to heal his broken left hand. Six to seven weeks puts us near the Daytona Supercross and by then there will still be eight races left on the schedule.

Updated Friday 4pm! Only a few short weeks ago, moto fans couldn?t wait for the start of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series. Now, we already find ourselves five rounds deep and more than halfway through the West Coast Lites Championship. Anaheim II saw repeat winners in both classes for the first time this year, with Ryan Villopoto taking home the premier class win, and Eli Tomac capturing his third dominant win in a row in Lites racing.

At the start of the day, Justin Brayton came away with a surprise fast lap, claiming the number one qualifying time in the last practice session. The Honda rider?s speed did not stop there, as he would go onto nearly holeshot the main event, and then battle with the front pack of riders before finishing fifth for the night. Brayton seems to have stepped up his pace since Los Angeles, where he failed to qualify for the main event.

With the Anaheim II track being one of the best of the series so for, there were some excellent battles during the heat races, but the most attention-grabbing incident happened to be when a rider was on his own out front. James Stewart was leading the first heat when he made a mistake in the first rhythm section that sent him to the ground violently. The JGR rider lay on the ground for a quite a while with the Asterisk medics at his side, until he was able to walk off the track on his own. The crash forced Stewart into the Last Chance Qualifier, which he won handily.

After the Anaheim II Supercross, it?s looking like a four man race for the coveted title of 2012 AMA Supercross Series Champion.

With everybody still healthy and strong, this is shaping up to be one of the most competitive years in Supercross ever. Most seasons in the past the title has come down to one or two guys – but right now there is a major the contrast in the consistency of Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey versus the brutal speed of Ryan Villopoto and James Stewart.

It was good to be a GEICO Honda rider during the 15th round of Supercross in Seattle. Fan favorite Kevin Windham and teammate Eli Tomac both earned runner-up finishes under the Saturday night lights at Qwest Field, Windham on his 450cc ride and Tomac on his 250cc Lites bike.
Windham, who won Seattle last season, always [...]
