AMA Super Cross Finals Part 2

Well tomorrow has become a couple weeks later LOL. The AMA Super Cross finals were a blast. As I said in Part 1 we got to meet some of the riders and got their autographs and such. When the show finally started the opening ceremonies where cool. Each rider came out on their bikes as they were introduced. It was funny to see just how popular or unpopular a rider was by the cheers and boos of the crowd. I happen to like them all.

We were able to watch most of the race from where we sat. They did end up going outside the arena at one point, which only made it more exciting to see who would have the lead when they came back in.

I loved watching Wayne watch the race. It was like watching a kid in a candy store. What was even better was that at one point we got hit by the dirt that was spit out from behind the dirt bikes.
I can't remember who won in the lights class, but in the big bikes the race started off with James Stewart in the lead with Ryan Villipoto in second and Chad Reed in third. After a few laps Ryan Villipoto over took Stewart. Wayne and I couldn't understand why Stewart wasn't fighting to get the lead back. It was almost frustrating to watch. Several laps later Chad Reed over took Stewart and Stewart was now in third and showed no signs of fighting back. He was taking it real easy. When the race was almost over we found out that Stewart only needed to place in the top three to still will the entire season. So Villipoto finished 1st, Reed 2nd, and Stewart 3rd and Windham 4th. It was more fun then Wayne and I had ever imagined. After the closing ceremonies we all ended up at IHOP. We finally hit our condo at 1:00 a.m. and went to bed.


I was a perfect day! Wayne and I plan on making this an every year event.
