Buffalo Creek Shock Sox $10,000 Results

[SG Berm book]

Just a quick THANKS to all of the sponsors, racers and spectators that flowed into Buffalo Creek for this 2nd Annual event. The track worked in great for Saturday afternoon's practices, and was really great for Sunday's racing. Pro's were rewarded with a $10,000 pro purse, and the amateurs went home with ton's of awards and contingencies that was kicked in from the great sponsors. The combination of Jason Langford SR & JR repairing soft spots (once the track developed) and Justin Malcolm'S excellent tilling job.....the track was great. Especially considering all the rain that has surrounded east TX over the past few weeks.....SOFT SOIL !!


Moto's went off with out a hitch with good cloud coverage most of the day, and the rain finally came with about 7 motos to go. The 2nd 450 pro moto was good ole fashion mud racing, and the Pro's earned their keep.

Jimmy Albertson won the "Wyman Priddy - Father of Texas Motocross" 450 class champion plaque, and was excited about it.....he even referenced watching Steve Stackable (from the 70's) on video, clearly understood that Blake Wharton was the 1st Texan to win a Lites SX main event.......so it was pretty cool giving Jimmy the plaque, knowing he already understood some TX motocross history.
As good as I felt happy for Albee, I felt bad for Demuth....cuz he said he really wanted the plaque...hahaha!

Albee was pretty much unstoppable in both 450 motos going 1-1 for the overall, and really complimented Buffalo Creek course.

Jimmy Alberston on his way to a 1-1 score and the "Wyman Priddy - Father of Texas Motocross" motocross award.



There was some really intense battling going on all over the track, with some very creative lines, and plenty of Pro's earned some cash !!!!!

tevin tapia! wow! he was in the front in 250 moto 1 at the beggining also, looked like he pulled off with bike trouble. anybody know what happened? very impressive to be up front all day against that kind of stacked competition.

[SG Berm book]

Tevin had spark plug cap issues.....after grabbing the holeshot and leading, then falling over in that moto. Would have been more $$ in his pocket had he not had to pull off in that 1st moto. He was very HAPPY about the track and cash.

We were out of beer, that's why we left. LOL

[AR616]

but shand shold give the exhaust to donkey-or atleast someone who was at
the race!

it was a good time, i enjoyed being at the track and watching my son ride-we took the
summer off and i forgot how fun it is being there but.......

riding practice at 8.30 and not racing my 1st moto till about 2.30, i was done!
no seat time=major arm pump.

but again, thanks to shand and buffalo creek-good event that will be bigger next year!!

[DonkeyPunch]

My whole body is sore. My neck is the worst. Probably from facing that triple out of the creek. Would of been a bad day if I had a stock suspension.

[martelle617]

[SG Berm book]

Hey guys thanks for the compliments. Glad everyone had a great time. The Buffalo Creek staff also deserves a lot of credit. The goal was to offer a great weekend race, $25.00 online entry fee, lots of giveaways, a safe and challenging track, with some GREAT pro purse racing to boot!

Glad everyone seemed to enjoy their weekend at Buffalo Creek !!

P.S. - Stupidgary does rule - he is a man with a psycho-grin, classic space-out stare and many character talents, ..... yet so simple minded w/ a one-track agenda. I was told he autographed many shirts and even some Holeshot Magazines-the dude has a following!!

[dmm698]

haha, that is a great picture. Gary had me cracking up all night with you guys, as you can tell from the picture.

[martelle617]

Gary for PRESIDENT!!!!!
