TLD presents "Rock and Ride" at Hyline Raceway

[bozemanmoto]

Troy Lee Designs, Gallatin Valley Dirt Riders and Hyline Raceway are proud to announce a fun and exciting event for motocross riders and fans, "Rock and Ride" motocross fun day at Hyline Raceway in Bozeman, MT.



This event will be the opening day for the all new track design. The new track features a reversed direction, more sweeping corners, big rolling floaters, step-on-step-off, big roller section, LONG whoop section, step-down and step-up jumps, single-table-double section and more. Line selection is critical to maintaining momentum on this layout. Its FUN and great for battling with your buddies!

The gear swap is open to everyone and there is no charge for selling and buying gear. Simply bring your unwanted MX riding gear, bikes, parts, etc. and display the items for sale in your pit area.

The 1-on-1 races will be a 1 lap, single elimination, tournament style competition and will work like this: At 12:30 at the announcer tower, every rider who wants to compete will write their name on a ballot and the ballots will get thrown into a box. Then, we will draw names. The first 16 riders drawn will get their names written on the tournament board in random order. Then, at 4:00pm, the racing will begin...bracket by bracket, until a champion is determined. We will have a special award for the champion!

There will be a DJ playing music throughout the day and food & drinks will be available in the infield.

Also, we are very excited to have a Troy Lee Designs representative with us all day, showcasing the latest products from TLD!

AND the 1st 30 riders (GVDR members not eligible) to arrive will receive a FREE Troy Lee Designs "Rock and Ride" event shirt!

Sounds like fun, is this the events first year?

[bozemanmoto]

Yes, this is the first year for the event.

The HCMA race in Livingston is on the following day. So, you can ride @ Hyline Raceway on Saturday, then drive over the hill to Livingston for the HCMA race on Sunday.

Don't forget, Troy Lee Designs Rock and Ride at this Saturday at Hyline Raceway. Since the HCMA race in Livingston was cancelled, we might have an open ride on Sunday, too. It depends how many riders stick around for Sunday.

Also, the parking is somewhat limited this year. So please, arrive early to get a good parking spot, don't bring a big hauler if you don't need to, and carpool with your buddies if you can. Thank you.

Saturday is Cameron Weavers birthday. So, we will continue the festivities on into the evening Saturday night with a BBQ, campfire and music. Get ready to have some fun!

Will this event still be on due to the rain?

[bozemanmoto]

As of 10am on Friday, the event is still on.

This friday morning, we have only received light rain...its not nearly wet enough to cancel due to track conditions. If the rain continues at this rate, we are planning to water the track this evening.

The forecast for Saturday is 60 degrees and 70% chance of scattered thunderstorms. But, typically, the track gets less precipitation than Bozeman.

It will take a lot more rain for us to cancel.

This is so true. The track never seems to get as much snow or rain as the actual city of Bozeman. In town we would sometimes get 2-3 inched of snow and the track got nothing, its very deceiving.

Despite the questionable weather on Saturday morning, everyone was persistent and patient enough to stick with us and wait a couple of hours for conditions to improve. In the end, the sun came out and it was a great time and good riding with a lot of good people.

We'd like to thank Troy Lee Designs, T&E Caterpillar Rental Store, Front Line Designs and especially everyone and their families that came out and had fun with us.

The 1-on-1 Challenge was the most entertaining part of the day filled with bar to bar, aggressive riding. Bozeman's own Cole Meyer barely beat out Cameron Weaver for the championship with an inside move a few corners before the finish. Cole Meyer earned himself a new set of Troy Lee Designs Air riding gear.

Justin Delaware and Cole Mort put on a good show for 3rd and 4th place finishes with Delaware getting the better of Mort.

In an early round of racing, Tyler Petersen on his CRF150 was paired against Delaware. It looked like Delaware was going to win his round until Petersen found a very creative line of his own to cross the finish line in front of Delaware! Later on, Tyler's dad disqualified is own son for cheating, giving Delaware the win. Too funny.

See you all at the 2012 TLD Rock and Ride.

Here are a few pic's from the day:
