Back to the West Coast for some high speed MotoAmerica Fun!!! :Port

To be honest this is my least favorite track to watch the gang race on. I know some of you are probably headed there. How is fandom in person??

I expect Andrew Lee and Deion Campbell to go at it. Wish MA would show more of them on the broadcast.

I'm here and super stoked to see the MA boys and girls ripping the Ridge!

Been coming every year since 2021, first couple years I rode up the coast, last couple years been driving up and bringing the track bike so I can ride the track myself.

It was pretty warm, mid-90s on Monday and Tuesday with 2Fast Trackdays. Very nice track, perfect asphalt, freshly painted curbs (non-slip FIM paint) grass and trees all around. Several places on the track you can use certain trees to get your eyes up the track. Some slower technical bits, some faster flowing bits. Lots of time to be gained or lost! It was so exciting to see some of the MotoAmerica and race team trucks trickling in.

Stoked to see the SBK and SSP battles continue. CamP is the only SBK rider who has won here before, sure would love to see him do it again. I saw Kayla get her first win in Junior Cup here, hope she can get her first win in SSP here on her 19th birthday weekend!

Can't wait to see the Super Hooligans sending it. Really looking forward to seeing the Talent Cup kids live for the first time. Don't forget the ladies of the Royal Enfield Build, Train, Race program, always fun to see them on their only West Coast round.

As a spectator I am very happy to see they have finally opened up another viewing area with a trail down to Turn 2, that is gonna be awesome especially at the starts.

It is cool and overcast here in Hoodsport WA this morning, with some rain on the way, luckily it looks like it will mostly happen overnight then clear up for the weekend. But it will still be cool, hope the tires work OK. Big difference from 21 and 22 when it was well over 100 degrees every day, that was too damn hot.
