The 2008
Daytona Supercross
will go down in history as one of the most exciting, but
slow races ever as torrential rain turned the RC designed track
into the kind of slop that 4wd trucks like to run through. LA
native Kevin Windham won for the first time out of 8 tries,
passing Chad Reed a few turns before the finish line. OK rookie
Trey Canard continues to impress with another victory in the
Lites class.
