As we sit here on the eve of what could no doubt be the most entertaining Rockstar Energy Drink MX National Series in history. All of the riders and their teams spent Friday afternoon getting everything set up at Whispering Pines Raceway in Kamloops BC. The forecast is for very hot temperatures to take over the Kamloops area this weekend, so these riders will get tested the moment the gate drops on the 2016 season. Here are a few James Lissimore photos as he toured the paddock on a quiet Friday at the track.
