So after a weeks break we are back in the outdoor action with round 4! We move to High Point this weekend and this track is dripping with history. There has been some major changes to the normal circuit layout though this time round so lets check out the track map.
High point animated track map
Such a scenic backdrop for this track... Not that the riders will be taking in those views with the short start straight which pinches off into a tight 180! the track looks great though and has some great sweeping sections so will be some seriously fast racing in store!
Also... Ryan Villopoto will be there!
He will be kicking off the action on Friday night by hosting a happy hour. He will be showcasing the brand new KX250 and man that guy can put any bike through its paces! If anyone is a long time follower of motocross you will remember him beating everyone in the field at his first Motocross of Nations riding a 250!
He beat the worlds best riders who were riding 450s on a 250!! wow!
