The annual Hangtown MX race on June 1 is the second round of the 11-race Pro Motocross Outdoor Championship Series, an event that is considered the largest of the outdoor season, attracting 25,000-plus spectators and generating more than $10 million to the local Sacramento area economy.It was a crazy Supercross 2024 season -- both in the 250 and 450 classes -- with podiums changing regularly and awkward crashes taking the most impressive riders out of points contention.
CBS SF: The Hangtown track is notorious for its uphill section with several U-shaped turns in a row. What do you like most about the track? Any parts more difficult than the rest?RJ Hampshire: My favorite part is the steep uphill before we get to the finish. We don't really have a similar section on any other outdoor track. Weather depending on how good the dirt is going to be with moisture. Also, the opening ceremonies with the painted ladies is something we always look forward to.
