Nine days and counting until the 2010 National begins. This year will mark the 29th Annual event started by Dave Coombs Sr., Paul Schlegal, and Team Green's first manager Dave Jordan. If you have never been and you love MX it is a site to see. I suggest making the trip to Hurricane Mills Tennessee to witness the world's largest MX vacation. Some 20,000+ racers try and qualify each year and only 1450 actually make it to the ranch. Lets see, James Stewart, Ricky "The GOAT" Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto, Speed TV's Jeff Emig and countless other popular names have stirred up dust at the ranch and brought home championships. Practice begins Monday August 2nd at 9:00am and ends at 5:00 pm. The first moto starts at 7:30 am sharp on August 3rd with the first 42 riders in the Vet 35+ class and ends on Saturday August 7th at 2:30 pm ending with the College B/C (17-24) class with awards following. The format is 3/30 minute moto's to decide the National Champion in 35 different classes with age's ranging from 4 years to 50+. EMX will be at the ranch all week blogging about the National. This will be our third year to attend but our first year to stay all week long. I am looking forward to the racing and especially the awards presentation following the last moto. Aside from all the racing there are plenty of other activities during the week. You never know what famous MX Racer you might see walking around the ranch. Last year I got to meet Ahley Fiolek and the year before we got to meet James "Bubba" Stewart. Vendors will be set up all down Loretta Lynn Lane and Amsoil Arena hosts many of the activities of the week. Kevin Walker will be back this year and is the winningest rider in Loretta Lynn's history with over 15 Championships. We look forward to the week and want to thank MX Sports, all the sponsors, the Coomb's family, the AMA, Loretta Lynn, and all the riders who will provide all the drama throughout the week. We also want to wish all the racers luck and we will be praying for protection. Most of all the EMX family look forward to making some more memories at the ranch and can't wait until the 2011 National MX Championships.
