Thought I'd stand in the same spot for all of the pro practices and see who'd whip it the farthest.
Have a look and see what you think.

The racing is officially underway here at the Walton TransCan. The
time to prepare is over; the time to perform is here. Track prep was
impeccable this year. New sections have been added, old sections have
been altered. The general consensus is that both changes are great.
Have a look at what went down on Day 1.

Motocross in Walton, Ontario, has certainly
evolved. The Lee family took their first steps into promoting motocross at
their family farm in 1974, held their first Ontario Provincial races in 1976
and their first National Motocross round in 1981. Seeing the need for an even
more prestigious motocross event, one that could rival what was happening in
the U.S, the TransCan was born in 1992.

Walton TransCan the most diverse field of racers in Canada |

It’s
no secret that the Walton TransCan is the biggest show in Canadian
Motocross. Each year riders from across Canada, the U.S and abroad make
the trek to tiny Walton, Ontario. While a huge scale event like
TransCan feeds itself to some degree, you need something tasty to get
them in the door in the first place and to keep them hungry for more.
The motocross track at Chris Lee’s farm is a slice of moto-pie fit for
a king, but Walton is more than simply being a great place to race.
It’s Canada’s motocross melting pot.

When you drive into tiny Walton, Ontario you are greeted with rural beauty and a sign welcoming you to ‘Motocross Town’.
In an era when dirt bikers (or any other type of motor sports
enthusiasts) are increasingly viewed by critics as abusers of nature,
the town of Walton and the Lee farm has proved them wrong. “Walton
Raceway is much more than the TransCan, 'An Annual Celebration of
Canadian Motocross” says Chris Lee. “Its success has been driven by a
consistent vision of sustainability and growth.”

David Pingree will be riding for Label
It/D4/FXR Racing at Walton, the last round of the Monster Energy CMRC
Nationals. He along with journalist Steve Matthes will be doing a
feature story for RacerX Illustrated. This should if nothing else be
very entertaining although he claims to be preparing himself to be
competitive. David Pingree is currently the team manager for the Troy
Lee Design Team is the U.S. and unfortunately will not be
competing in our traditional FXR race gear.
