Swiftel Center - Brookings, SD
1/12/2009Well, good old Mother Nature threw us a curve ball this weekend by dropping some snow and freezing rain. Coming into the weekend, however, things went pretty smooth. The crew at the Swiftel Center built some really cool tunnels between the buildings to keep the riders and their mechanics a little warmer. What a killer idea! With the biggest finish line jump we have ever built inside the Swiftel Center, we knew that the weather wasn’t the only hurdle the riders were going to have to adjust to! Some of the best racing we saw this weekend was from the Pro class and the old guy’s class, Vet plus 30! With Cody Gilmore crashing on Friday night on his brand new 2009 Honda CRF450R, we knew that the track was going to fast and very “racy”. This opened the door to several of our areas top pro riders to bang bars without one of the areas fastest. Another unreal Pro class weekend. As far as the old guy’s class, it looked like the start of Anaheim 1 when the gate dropped for both nights! A flip of the coin couldn’t have guessed the outcomes of that class both nights! From peewees to big bikes, another great weekend at the Midwest SX!
