The start of 450 moto number one, as seen from atop the crest of the first turn. Inside of course is Alessi, but the surprise here is none other than 2001 AMA 125cc MX Champ and current WORCS points leader (we think?) Mike Brown. The Tennessee renaissance man started wayyyy on the outside and came around the pack like a madman, ending up almost even with Alessi here. He put in a great ride for the remainder of the race too, as did several other current WORCS competitiors (more pics of them later), ending up 7th overall.
