The first supercross held in Seattle was on February 18, 1978 in the historic Kingdome.  Last night’s race was the 28^th year Seattle has hosted a round of the AMA Supercross Championship.  The Kingdome was demolished in 2000 and replaced with the Qwest Field open-air stadium.  With the words “Seattle” and “rain” practically synonymous, every year all eyes are on the weather leading up to the event.  The forecast predicted a 50% chance of a major mudder, so the track was covered in plastic after being built.  The rain did come, causing practice to be delayed, and qualifying to be condensed into one session rather than two.  Thankfully the rain stopped before the racing started, and 51,442 fans were able to see some

Chris ‘Teach’ McNeil gives you the inside scoop from Round 2 of the XDL Sportbike Freestyle Championship in Lake Havasu, Arizona.

By Chris McNeil

Heading into the 2nd round of the XDL National Championship Series, all my hopes at a title were resting on a solid finish in Havasu since I had already used my bye run at the first round in Daytona. Practice for me leading up to the event was non-existent due to setup time on my new 2010 BMW S1000RR.
