Jeremy McGrath, on the Troy Lee Designs factory CRF450R, went out and dominated the Vet Pro class at Mammoth Mountain last weekend, winning every single Vet Pro moto. According to the reporter on scene, McGrath was on Nathan Ramsey and Kevin Windham's factory practice bike.
Montclair Yamaha's Ty Davis finished second overall with a second in every moto, and David Barrett went 6-3-7-3 for third overall. Kenny Lash and Chris Young rounded out the top five overall.

From nikki who posted at thumpertalk.com '03 YZ250F - first/second ride reports
I picked up an '03 YZ 250F a week and a half ago. Here are ride reports from my first and second rides:
FIRST RIDE - last Sunday:
I took my new F out to a buddy's practice track this morning. Track was sandy/loamy and pretty wide open. Not too much for jumps. Temperature was around 40 degrees.

I entered in my first GTEC Dirt Bike round on the weekend of the 28th of July. It was Round 4 was a 3 hour Pony XXXpress.
For those not in the know, the Pony XXXpress bit meant that after every lap, you had to shut off the bike, push it about 20 metres, and then take a clothes peg off your bike, and put it on your race partners bike. Your race partner then roosts off into the distance for a time, before coming back, pushing, and putting the peg onto your bike, at which time you go roosting off, and so on.

Well what a disaster.
It pissed down all Saturday and as far as Dazz and I were concerned it was a short day. We went to Kapunda and met up with a few amtra people to see off Chris Welly.
We then followed John P out to the AMTRA control to find that we had to turn onto a track that had a boggy when wet sign. There were a couple of others from another club there who had attempted to go on this track and had chickened out saying it was impassable which it certainly looked like.

The weather was excellent this weekend, except very cold.
Met up with Katie and Ben on Saturday afternoon at the wallaroo quay and went for a sail in Bens parents yacht. It was a bit lumpy out which was better than the morning sail where a couple of Bens friends got somewhat green in the gills it being very rough. Great sailing and we had a number of dolphins for company along the way.
Saturday night was barbeque night and fine wine and conversation at the dining table. Ended with freshly baked muffins and ice cream so thanks Katie.

Victorian Big Trip
One could write a book about the escapades and adventures that were had, but I wont, unless someone volunteers. Remember what happens on the trail stays on the trail.
Needless to say a great time was had by all riders and back up crew. We had perfect weather each day, sun shine and high teens in temperature. There was no dust as there had been a deluge the day before the start which for a change made the trails rather muddy and slippery in parts. The rivers were flowing to say the least but that is another story.
