f there's one word that best describe this year's Lucas Oil AMA
Pro Motocross Championship, it's unpredictable. Or, perhaps,
competitive—really competitive. Every time the 40 racers line up
behind the starting gate so far this season, it seems as though any
one of about 10 or so riders has a realistic chance of winning—in
both the 450MX and 250MX classes! But the one thing that you
can be assured of is that the racing will be damn good.
For the first time in Pro Motocross history, the championship
ran a doubleheader at the same venue over a single weekend,
albeit a long weekend. The first race was held on a Friday and the
second on Labor Day Monday. And, unfortunately, the races were
held without spectators, and what a track for that to happen—Red-
Zach Osborne (16)
won both 450MX
motos on Friday, and
while he didn't have
the same success on
Monday, he managed
to pad his points lead
in the championship.
