Round 12 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series, an FIM World Championship, is set to get underway Saturday in Toronto. Last weekend's race in Jacksonville was run under not just a full moon, but a "super" moon. It was closest the moon had been to the earth in nearly 20 years.
And the night's activities on the track showed it! The top two in the series point standings at the start of the day had disastrous nights! Series points leader Ryan Villopoto didn't even qualify for the Main Event, because of two crashes in the LCQ. And number two in points at the time, James Stewart's Main Event lasted about 10 seconds until a crash, of which he did not re-enter the race.
That left the door wide open for other title contenders to put themselves in a prime position.
The 250 East Supercross Lites class was not exempt from the lunacy either. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Blake Baggett, who stood second in points behind GEICO Honda's Justin Barcia, failed to qualify for the East Main Event. What a season 2011 has been! After all the excitement to this point, what more can we possibly expect in Toronto?
Here are a few things I see going down at Saturday's Supercross:
