Budds Creek MX '07

Budd's Creek MD! My second live national track viewing in my short MX fandome career. I caught the infamous Southwick, MA several times while we lived in NY and was always thrilled with the races. Budds Creek was just as exciting, with very nice viewing lines. Most of the infield trees have been removed so you can see a good portion of the track from most vantage points. Ricky Carmichael won the overall with a 2-1 and mentioned that he was dissapointed with the track conditions. He said "the track was one-lined and needed to be tilled deeper(much deeper)" It all looked good to me but I'm just the beer drinking spectator. The photos are in no certain order...please enjoy.
Grant Langston looked good both motos.
Tim Ferry back on Team Kawasaki.
RC scrubbin' some speed.
James follows RC's lines in moto 2.
Kevin Windham tryin' to stay on the pace.
Chad Reed makes a special one time only National appearance of the Summer.
