Round 8 Tampa Supercross | Photo Report

Round 8 Tampa Supercross | Photo Report

February 28, 2018

by Dawn McClintock Here we are in the thick of it on the east and hoping that the injury list kind of pumps the brakes a little from here on out. We have had so many of our top runners taken out with nasty crashes and we hope this trend will grind to a halt. This stop on the circuit is the first time since 1999 that we have seen an event in Tampa, FL. The track at Raymond James Stadium is the home of the Tampa Buccaneers and it gave some interesting backdrops with their signature pirate ship setting sail right in the stadium. To boot, this particular track had a wicked beach sand section that took it's share of victims. Let's take a look at some of the action from Florida.
