285 to 9 was scenic but slow.
I-70 was cleared early enough to not be a problem for anyone driving up on Friday or Saturday.
More about the Copper weekend:
Doug Henry (I'd bet) will be up and winning faster than anybody would think.
It was amazing to watch Travis Pastrana keep pace with eventual 4 for 4 Supermoto winner Jeff Ward.
Troy Herfoss went 2 for 2 in Supermoto Unlimited to give Husqvarna its first and second victories ever in AMA Supermoto.
Mark Burkhart continues to dominate the Supermoto Lites series with a perfect 2005 record.
American flattracker Michelle DiSalvo and Australian Supermoto racer Erin Normoyle added a special flair to the event by being the second and third female racers (after 2003 Dallas competitor Stefy Bau) to compete in the series.
Weather was totally unpredictable with sun, wind, light rain, frost, heavy rain, and cloud cover--in any order, and at any moment.
Competitors: some of the early-season leaders struggled (Ben Carlson, Juergen Kunzel, Doug Henry), some of the early-season strugglers lead (Jeff Ward, Chris Fillmore), new faces on the poduims with Herfoss, Cassidy Anderson, and Max Gazzaratta.
