Stewart Crowned Champ in Seattle!
 Congratulated by his father, an emotional James Stewart wins the Seattle Amp'd Mobile Supercross, taking home two #1 plates and the title of Amp'd Mobile World Supercross GP Champion and the Amp'd Mobile Supercross Series Champion.
The normally rainy Seattle Amp'd Mobile Supercross was bone dry much to the relief of the crowd of 47,445. During the opening show fans were worked into frenzy as Kawasaki's James Stewart climbed the fence and mingled with the crowd in the stands. James took off his helmet and threw it into the stands. He rode the rest of his opening lap helmetless, waving to fans as the Quest Field filled with cheers for the Kawasaki rider.

Two Red Bull flyers parachuted down into the stadium with smoke trailing from their heels. Fireworks and flames exploded all around the track and the races were off to a start.
The first round of qualifying lites saw #58 Yamaha's Joshua Hill come in first after battling his way through the pack. Martin Davalos #577 on a KTM qualified second and #622 Kyle Cunningham on a Yamaha took third. At the end of the race a fist fight broke out between #577 Davalos and #74 Partridge (Honda) and both riders were disqualified, receiving a DNF for their efforts. Consequently #622 Cunningham was bumped up to second and Jake Weimer #73 riding for Honda qualified third.
The second round of lites saw the pack sorted out after the first turn with #51 Ryan Villopoto on a Kawasaki taking the lead and holding onto it. Behind him was #338 Jason Lawrence on a Yamaha and #24 Joshua Grant on a Honda.
The first round of the Supercross qualifier saw #14 Kevin Windham on a Honda take the lead and keep it just out of the reach of #22 Chad Reed riding for Yamaha. David Vuillemin # 12 on a Honda moved from fourth in the second lap to third in the fifth and kept it to cross the finish in third.
The second round of Supercross qualifying saw #7 James Stewart take the lead after the first turn with #9 Suzuki's Ivan Tedesco take second. The battle between # 26 Michael Byrne riding for Suzuki and #29 Andrew Short on a Honda for third was won by the Suzuki rider Michael Byrne.
This was an exciting round to watch with several riders crashing out in the first lap. A three way collision caused a delay for #118 David Millsaps (Honda), #768 Keith Johnson (Yamaha), and #53 Taylor Evans (Suzuki). # 627 Leighton Lillie (Honda) went down and was unable to continue. On the third lap #13 Heath Ross (Honda) went down and the fifth lap there was another multiple bike crash involving #8 Grant Langston (Yamaha), #32 Ryan Clark (Honda) tangling up other riders as they tried to maneuver by.
The Lites last Chance qualifier was taken by #630 Matthew Lemoine (Yamaha) and #138 Michael Lapaglia (Yamaha). # 17 Steve Boniface came in last but took home $250 from Asterisk to help get him to Vegas next weekend.
The last Chance qualifier for the Supercross was given to #118 David Millsaps (Honda) and #8 Grant Langston (Yamaha) who recovered from his crash to take the last of the two spots.
The Seattle Lites Hole shot was won by #102 Christopher Gosselaar riding for Kawasaki. He got a check for a $1000 that Christopher said would come in handy next weekend in Vegas at the black jack table.
The Lites Main Event was won by #51 Ryan Villopoto (Kawasaki) who took the lead in the seventh lap and kept it until the end of the race. Second place was awarded to #338 Jason Lawrence on a Yamaha who moved to second in the tenth lap. Third was #58 Joshua Hill who held onto the lead from the second to sixth lap, fell back and then climbed up to third in the twelfth lap, holding it until the finish. Several riders - Cunningham, Graham, Rodrigues and Bose crashed.
The $1500 Supercross Main Event hole shot was presented to #40 Jeff Gibson on a Kawasaki, who said he was going to use the money to pay some bills.
The Supercross Main Event lead was taken by Kawasaki's #7 James Stewart, who once again dominated the race. There was a bit of a shuffle but by the eighth lap the order for the rest of the race was worked out. David Millsaps was in a solid second and #14 Kevin Windam finished in third.

DAMNIT DON'T PUT RESULTS IN THE TITLE. Some of us have to record it and would like to see the race without knowing the result. Any result.

Yeah??? I was out working on sprinklers all day yesterday and was going to watch it tonight. In the 21st century there is such a thing as a DVR.
Just put a warning -> Results inside

what about the 45,000 people that were there and saw it, and the millions who watched it on CBS? Should they remain silent too?

Don't be dense, just don't put results in the title. Why is that so hard? I wasn't able to go there, I wasn't able to watch it when it was on CBS, but I was able to record it.

I'm with TedG on this one Fish, CBS didn't show it until Sunday morning, and we went to Fontana for the Superbike races. There wasn't a whisper of the Supercross results from anyone at the races which was a big relief and we watched it when we got home. As fanatics, it certainly is important for us to watch it unfold.
So there!

I'm with them... We record all the races and it's a major drag when you hear the results first! We've learned to be wary, steering clear of local bike shops and sites that post.

Ya'll are killing me. I've never heard of anyone keeping sports results silent for a defined period in case people haven't wartched the event yet :P
Maybe we should run a poll before discussing results "has everyone watched the race yet, we would like results posting and discussion to begin"

All we are saying is don't put it in the title of the post. Is that so hard? Talk about it all you want inside. Must you spoil it for others?
