Ricky Carmichael may have set a record on his Suzuki also. In the second moto at Millville this weekend, he lapped the entire field. No one is sure if that has ever happened before in AMA Pro Motocross. From Speed-
Carmichael, the nine-time AMA National Motocross Champion, thoroughly dominated the Motocross class in completely diverse conditions at round eight of the series, at Spring Creek Motocross Park in Millville, Minnesota, on August 13.The 26-year-old Carmichael won a high-and-dry first moto in typical fashion, coming from a fourth-place start to either run his competitors down or take advantage of their mistakes. And when the rain came down in sheets during the second moto, Carmichael was about the only rider who didn’t put a wheel wrong on the greasy, rutted, rain-soaked Millville track. Carmichael was so dominant that he lapped the entire field in the race, passing second-placed rider David Vuillemin just two laps from the finish to lap the entire field; no one was sure when or if that had ever happened before at an AMA National Motocross Championship round.
