Grant Langston has always been one of our favorite riders and guests, but we wanted to get the Zulu Warrior back on so his fans can get an update on the man underneath the helmet. Grant has been plagued by medical issues concerning his vision for quite some time and we wanted to sidestep the speculation and rumors and hear the latest in his own words.
JGR’s Cody Cooper has made a substantial impact on American motocross in his relatively short career over here. After surviving and enduring living with Ben Townley, Cody has found a new home in North Carolina with one of the premiere teams in our sport. Jeremy Albrecht and the gang saw the hard work and determination from Cody that produced some impressive and consistent results that were rewarded with this ride. We will break out our New Zealand decoder ring for his interview tonight.
Our core fans know how important motocross is to DMXS and our detailed mission statement reflects the same. Alright, we really don’t have an official mission statement, but we could if we really wanted to, and saving and improving our beloved outdoors would be at the top. Thankfully, the folks at MX Sports and their allies are taking the appropriate steps in that direction with a bold new agenda and planned changes for the future. Davey Coombs will join us to break down the plans for 2009 and beyond.
Factory Kawasaki’s Timmy Ferry was a guest on our very first show almost eight years ago and he still returns our phone calls for some reason. Red Dog has a great family, Factory ride, and is a Motocross de Nations hero. I would be remiss if I didn’t think we had at least a little something to do with all that. We will discuss in great detail our influence on his incredible career.
Pro-Circuit is the standard in our sport for a reason. Mitch Payton and the team give 100% in everything they do. When a PC ride became available late in the silly-season, there was no shortage of willing riders that would give their left cashew for a shot at that ride. Mitch is well known for being an independent thinker and trends are not what he gauges a decision on. He often looks to the heart and character of a rider more that just raw speed or short-lived results. I was not surprised when he chose Ryan Morais as his rider for those qualities alone. He has proven he has the speed, but he has also shown his character and sportsmanship in the best and worst of times. Ryan is a great fit for that team and will join us with his thoughts on it tonight.
Those Blose brothers are a resilient bunch. After all their respectable results over the years, I wonder why anyone is ever surprised by their speed when they show up to race. Chris Blose was lighting up Vegas until an untimely crash dropped him back, but once again he showed that he belonged there. Chris will give us a summary of his crazy US Open weekend and tell us who would win an all-out fist fight with his brother Michael.

Boissiere remained in third place with MX2 World Champion Tyla Rattray of South Africa coming closer as the race was ending. Both Rattray and Great Britain’s Tommy Searle had to work their way up from the bottom of the top ten with the Brit finishing fifth.

With USA’s Tim Ferry recovering after a tough start to finish an eventual ninth Cody Cooper rode a flawless moto to take victory for team New Zealand. Cooper ran away with the lead as Canada’s Dusty Klatt, Italy’s Alex Salvini and France’s Nicolas Aubin were fighting for second. Aubin crashed, damaged the bike and dnf’d as Klatt dropped down to eighth. Salvini held on until the arrival of Australia’s Michael Byrne taking second. Puerto Rico’s Zach Osborne worked his way up to third and moved to an eventual second courtesy of a last lap move on Byrne. Salvini was fourth ahead of Belgium’s Steve Ramon.

DONINGTON PARK GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT AND CASTLE DONINGTON
The Donington Park Grand Prix motocross circuit is named after one of the most famous permanent road racing complexes in the world which is hosting the track itself. Having its first Motocross GP in 2007 Donington Park came back on the 2008 calendar with the most prestigious event of the year, the Red Bull Motocross of Nations. This year the ground will be enriched with woodchips making it softer that it was in 2007 as the changes to the layout will make the course more challenging. At last year’s GP Antonio Cairoli won at his first and only appearance in the MX1 scene while current British Team member Tommy Searle won his maiden MX2 GP.
Donington Park’s track
Castle Donington is a small town in a corner of Leicestershire being 18 kilometres South East of Derby and about 200 kilometres North of London. The town is named after a Castle which was built to command the crossing points of the River Trent in the eleventh or twelfth century and is now merely a mound on the northern edge of the village. Castle Donington is placed on the former Nottingham to Birmingham trunk road and is characterized by modern shops standing alongside dignified Georgian and Regency houses in a fascinating blend of modernity and tradition.
