Welcome to the Vurb Practice Party, where you will probably find qualifying times at some point and random thoughts from Troy and Slaw and maybe DBO. Hang around, it could fun… or not.
Anaheim 2 is NOT going to be a mudder! You hear that? That is a huge *sigh* from mechanics, team personnel, and riders. It’s going to be a high of 80 degrees and a low of 51.
We’ll have our first Triple Crown event of the season at A2. This season has been anything but normal as far as the weather has been concerned and now we are mixing up the race format. That means more excitement for all of us.
This weekend we will our first glimpse of the 250SX Futures class of 2024. A lot of teams around the paddock have hired at least one rider to show what the potential that they have to offer in supercross. It’s a cool concept and something the sport has needed. Here’s the entry list and it’s STACKED with talent!
On Press Day on Friday, the new red plate holder Aaron Plessinger was out in the pits with horses. Duh, like why wouldn’t he be?
And here is some track photos from press day on Friday:

T-Dog’s Takes
– I’ve got Mookie FEVER!
– Keep in mind that Kyle Chisholm has missed the last two main events, like they said on Race Day Live, but the broski has been riding beat up from his crash in San Fran. He hit a wall. If you think he’s beat up, wait until you see the wall!
-It’s round four and these B class practices are STACKED. Love to see it!
Malcolm Stewart tops 450SX Q1 with a 58.3
RJ Hampshire tops 250SX Q1 with a 59.0
-I wanna sing AP Happy Birthday. I want him to wear one of those oversized cowboy hats.
– The 250SX Futures is stacked. I think it’s going to get a bit brutal tonight with crashes. The track was dusty in the second practice and a lot of mistakes were being made out there. Drew Adams, one of the youngest, if not youngest, riders out there was very impressive and he leads the board in qualifying.
Slaws and Claws
– I haven’t even watched, did AP ride out on a horse?
-Is Deegan racing and if so, what time?
