Hi Point Highlights
Check out Video Highlights from High Point, courtesy of Motocross.com. I'm hooked on the video they've been producing. It's even better than the Speedvision broadcasts. Let's hope they continue to do it.
For Carmichael, after consulting the AMA, it was officially his 146th AMA National victory, and he sits on a 10-point championship lead over Stewart, even though he plans to vacate the series after round five at Red Bud.
In other news, our photographer on assignment at High Point was top notch:

Ricky Carmichael quickly took over the lead in the second moto, and that was it for racing up front. RC just stretched his lead all moto long and took the overall with a perfect 1-1 on the day.
There was a cool vintage bike show up on the vendor row, and there will be a Motocross Legends Tour during pre-race ceremonies on Sunday.
Motocross Results:
1. Ricky Carmichael, Suz
2. James Stewart, Kaw
3. Davi Millsaps, Hon
4. Tim Ferry, Kaw
5. Andrew Short, Hon
6. Grant Langston, Yam
7. Kevin Windham, Hon
8. Michael Byrne, Suz
9. Mike Alessi, KTM
10. David Vuillemin, Hon
Ben Townley may have saved his season with a gutsy ride in the opening moto at High Point. After crashing on the start and then getting a wheel repaired in the mechanics area, Townley ran all the way back to 10th place for 11 very important championship points.

Ricky wins. Motocross Photos from Hangtown
What can you say? Ricky comes back for Motocross and takes a win over Stewart.
Hangtown was RC's 91st outdoor win, the seventh time he's won at that track, and his 147th AMA win.
Ricky Carmichael:
“James (Stewart) was pushing me, no doubt about it. We were back to where we were last year… The first moto came around and I felt good but I fell down, got back up and was trying to go again. He was just faster than me, he was riding good and he won the first moto… I’m just here, racing a few races, trying to help Makita Suzuki and do some testing and racing at the same time. I’m glad I’m here for the first five races to provide the fans with some good 450-class racing. I’m a fan now that I’m part-time, and it’s not fun to watch a race when there’s no one racing out there. But there’ll be good racing next week at High Point. They have epic fans there at Mt. Morris and whatever happens, it’s going to be good racing.”
Fan photo of the track:
The Lites pack heads for the first turn in moto two. Yes, the starting rocks are legal.
