Sadly, mother nature had another idea.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone try to drag race in the rain?\u00a0 The rain turned the moto-x track into a bit of a sloppy mess. Although the track was drained for the most part by Lance Smail and his crew, the relentless rain &#8220;puddled&#8221; on the surface. I have to believe that the rider&#8217;s were both getting a lot of experience along with having quite a bit of fun playing in the &#8220;MUD&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Get the &#8220;holeshot&#8221; start and you stayed pretty much free of mud, those coming from behind were coated so much it was hard to tell who they were. A pressure washer was pretty much the &#8220;it&#8221; machine for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>With the April showers bringing May&#8217;s color to the area, all that water will go to good use and the drier track will bring the track to a more race able condition. Any discomfort felt by the racers will be long forgotten towards the end of the season when the &#8220;points&#8221; they earned at this event comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>On hand providing &#8220;hot drinks, burgers and dogs&#8221;, was &#8220;Big Food&#8221;, Pacific Raceways Concessionaire along with John Madden and his &#8220;Race Rescue&#8221; track safety team provided any aid that arose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seeitimagery.smugmug.com\/PacificRaceway\/Motocross-Events\/MotoC-Gold-Star-2013-04-06-7\/28832576_tCQgm3#!i=2448703649&amp;k=MQDMh7b\" target=\"_blank\">Over 1,200 images of all the fun in the mud are now available in the gallery &#8211; click here to go there.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the opening weekend for both the moto-x and dragstrip happening on the same day, the season got underway in a big way.
