The GoPro Bomb Squad descended (literally) into O.co Stadium as the first heat race of the night lined up. A surprise to everyone in the facility, including many GoPro staffers, the skydivers definitely helped jumpstart the night.
Billy Laninovich scored a heat race holeshot aboard his privateer machine and went on to finish third. It would seem the whip artist still has the speed.
What would that look like?
It was an emotional week for the entire JGR team. They lost beloved mechanic Mark ‘Tex’ Adams earlier in the week. He was victim to an accident while trying to help a stranded motorist. James Stewart dedicated his win to Mark, so we can imagine his victory was bittersweet. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Tex.
Get out the orange pump-action, it's time for some Big Buck Hunter.
