As the first true “east coast” race of the series, Atlanta is always a popular round with the fans and industry alike. This year, like always, the Georgia Dome stands were visibly packed if not sold out. But despite that, there was plenty of other news and happenings going down in Hotlanta. Lites class title contender Brett Metcalfe crashed and broke his collarbone in practice, James Stewart now holds onto the points lead in the SX class, and Christophe Pourcel knabbed his second win of the season, not mention much more. So without wasting anymore of your precious time, here’s Kickstart from the eighth round of the series.

Yeah, that’s an annoying little bug we have on the site right now. We’re working on it, but if you click the link above the photo gallery, it will load each photo and caption separately. Hope that helps.

what did stroupes note on his bar pad say
February 23rd, 2009 at 9:07 am
It says “breathe Stroupe” on his grip. Alessi has his eyes closed goin thru that sweeping turn…hmmm. RV IS gonna do better when he gets outdoors (like RC). Bummer Wey and K dub are slowin’ down this year. I luv Yamaha but dang that PC bike is sick! Wish Reedie could get more Speedie.

If anyone saw the Lites LCQ, what a whacky race that was. The highlight was seeing a privateer 731? absolutely turn down an awesome whip. Best whip me and my buddy saw all night.
