It didn't rain, the track was excellent, and the racing was great. In case you didn't catch the show in High-def on CBS for the second week in a row, or didn't check out the Motocross.com Race Report, click on the links below to get filled in on everything that went down once the gate dropped. There was Windham's flat front tire, Dungey's big crash, Lawrence's second win in a row, and Millsaps fighting through some intense pain for his best finish ever. There's also a link to the report from Friday's press conference where a "big announcement" was made.

Now that you're all caught up, read on, and find out all that happened behind the scenes in this week's edition of What Really Happened.

On the Thursday night leading up to Anaheim III, a tragic accident happened involving Gavin Gracyk's Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/Honda mechanic, and close friend, Dave Deroseir. While he was crossing the street in front of TLD after eating dinner at Marie Calendar's, a car with three females and one male came flying down the street at 50 mph-plus with its lights off, and struck him while he was walking across the street. The car stopped briefly while the male occupant attempted to pick up a mirror that had broken off, but sped away leaving Dave behind. As of this weekend, Dave was in an induced coma with some pretty serious injuries.

It's maddening to know that there are people in this world who would do something as horrible as this. Below is a composite sketch of one of the individuals involved in the incident. If you have any information pertaining to this, please contact Bryan Wilson at the Corona Police Department at 951/736-2355. The description of the car is that it was a burgundy 1994-1997 four-door Honda Accord.

It goes without saying that Gracyk has been through a lot lately, and this week's unfortunate incident with Dave was yet another piece of adversity for the talented rider. We spoke with Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/Honda's team manager Matt Jory about the weekend.

"Everybody pretty much knows Gavin's story, right? I mean, he's one of those kids who has been through a lot of really crazy and hectic stuff with his family and loved ones in the last year and a half," Jory said. "A year and a half ago, his fiancé passed away unexpectedly, and then four weeks ago, his father passed away. So it's been a really rough time for Gavin to get himself mentally capable of getting in the right mind set to go out and race."

Somehow Gavin finds a way to work through the pain, and this weekend was especially tough for him. As his fill in mechanic until Dave is better, Matt did his best to keep Gavin's spirits high. "There is no doubt that the kid is very talented, and the guy that has really been there this whole time going through this with him, was his mechanic Dave Deroseir. It's terrible for Dave, and Gavin is going through this additional thing thinking, ‘Man, have I got a black cloud over my head? It seems like everybody I love, something unfortunate is happening to them.' I'm just trying to do my best to fill in for Dave; by no means replace him. I'm just trying to do the job that I know how to do, keep working with Gavin, and hope that he continues to get the good results that he's been getting. He's proven to be the number one rider on the team right now, and we're hoping to keep him going that way."

Right now, the prognosis is good for Dave to make a full recovery. "It was a blessing to hear that Dave is going to be alright, and heal from all of his injuries," Jory said. "But it's just a hard thing for one guy to go through, and I'm sure that it's probably weighing on Gavin's mind this weekend. He's just got to put it behind him and do his job. He has been through this kind of shit before, so he has some way of dealing with it."

As for how the search for the individuals involved in the incident is going, Jory said that he, along with everyone else, is hoping for the best. "Dave's friend Joey that was with him, gave the best description he could to the police, and they did find a driver's side mirror that had broken off of the car, so they were able to identify the make and model of the car. Hopefully, that's going to lead to finding these people that have absolutely no heart or conscience. We'll just have to wait and see."

In other news, if you read the race report you would know that Team Red Bull Honda's Davi Millsaps rode through some pretty serious pain in the SX class main event. According to Davi he suffered a hard fall while practicing during the week. "On Tuesday, I was practicing at my house and the whoops were really soft. I came into them, and my front end tucked right when I went into them and I went over the bars. I went to block the bike from hitting with my arm, and my arm just cramped up after that. I couldn't move my fingers all day. Practice today didn't go too well-I didn't know if I was going to be able to race-but we just kept working it and then it came out to where it was pretty good in the main event."

For the last couple of weeks, Millsaps has been running a buttpatch that says "Big Treat." Curious what it means, we quizzed him about it following the race. "I don't even know who started it, but ever since I started working with my trainer Johnny, that's all he says," Millsaps said. "He got me saying it, and he's like, ‘Dude, you need to put it on the back of your pants.' I thought it would be cool, and John Hopkins, the Moto GP racer, started busting up when I told him that I was getting it on the back of my pants. I'm just running with it to have a laugh."

Davi's teammate Ivan Tedesco had a bad weekend, as a crash during the second practice session left him with reportedly a broken wrist. We haven't confirmed this yet, but once we hear more, we will let you know.

Also injured during practice was Team Yamaha's Broc Hepler. Hepler went down hard during the first session, and was driven off the track with a broken thumb in the Asterisk Mobile Medic Mule. At the race, there was no word yet on when Hepler would be returning to action.

While we are on the subject of Team Yamaha, their other two riders were struggling with problems of their own. Grant Langston decided not to race after suffering from blurred vision in practice, he will be seeing a specialist this week to get it sorted out. As for Josh Hill, he was battling a bad cold all week and could barely talk. He made the main, but didn't look like his normal speedy self as he finished 12th.

After last week's well earned Monster Energy West Coast Lites class win, Boost Mobile/Yamaha of Troy-backed Jason Lawrence came into round five at Anaheim's Angel Stadium with freight train-like momentum. He rode well in his qualifier, got into the early lead in the main event, and ran away to take his second consecutive win of the season. We caught up with some of the crew in the Lawrence camp before the A3 racing go underway to get some of their thoughts on last week's satisfying win in the muddy and wet conditions.

"It was long over due," Team Boost Mobile/Yamaha of Troy's Team Manager "Dang" McAvoy said. "I think it should have been a couple weeks ago, but we've had some bad luck. It's hard work, but it came, so we're happy."

Crown Athlete Management Group's, Scott Sepkovic, Lawrence's manager, told us "Well, unfortunately for last weeks race I wasn't there," Lawrence's long time manager Scott Sepkovic said. "I was up at Winter X-Games, which was only the second race I've ever missed during Jason's pro career. His first one was a podium there [San Francisco] two years ago. I'm stoked that he won and looking forward to a lot more."

Another Yamaha rider who has received quite a bit of attention this year is Joe Gibbs Racing/Yamaha's Josh Hansen. Having been given the opportunity to prove himself back on the track, Hansen has been on his best behavior, and despite a recent injury, still is optimistic about the season. Hansen's attitude is in the right place, and so is his bike, under the guidance of multi-time championship winning mechanic turned team manager Jeremy Albrecht. We caught up with Hansen to see what's been going on...

How is everything going for you with the JGR team?

Everything has been good so far. There's definitely a lot of pressure, because we've got really good bikes and a cool setup. Actually, the team has come around better than everybody was expecting, being so last minute. I think we've done a good job. I just have to put it up on the box.

Give us your take on round one at Anaheim this year for you.

Anaheim one was pretty horrible, I didn't like the track and was feeling pretty bad. Then I decided to eat crap really bad. It didn't really go so well. I don't have anything good to say about Anaheim one.

How did things shape up for you at Phoenix for round two?

I got eighth, which was alright. I mean, it's in the top-10, which is good. I really haven't ridden too well at any of the races so far, but it was a big turn around from the weekend before. I've just been riding like a girl.

What's the story with your injury?

There was a triple-step-on-step-off and a double. When I went down the step off, I clipped it, blew my hand off, and cranked the bars. It sent me over them, and I cased the next jump out of the rhythm section, which tore everything up.

I tore the main muscle that runs down my back, I have some internal bruising and a herniated disk.

So what's it been like riding for Jeremy?

It's been good. Actually, he's awesome to be around, he's the best guy. He knows what it takes to go out there and win. I just haven't gotten it into my head yet.

He's strict, which is something I definitely needed. He's on my ass all the time making sure I'm getting my training done, and pulling my lifestyle together.

Another injured rider we spoke to was Rockstar Makita Suzuki's Michael Byrne. Having missed every round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series so far this season due to recovery efforts needed to heal his injured knee, Byrne is chomping at the bit just waiting to ride his factory RM-Z450. "The new bike is great," Byrne said. " It's a big improvement from last year's bike. I was really looking forward to racing it. I'm just bummed coming to the races and having to sit on the sidelines, but it's making me hungrier to get back on. When I get there, it's going to be good." As far as the status of the knee is concerned, "So far so good, I'm ahead of schedule. Two months in they told me anywhere up to six months, and I should be outside riding in four months. Eight weeks to go, the knee feels good! Everything feels good. I'm just working with the guys at Physio and we're getting it strong. The plan is to be riding in April, and have two months to get my fitness up. I feel like I'm a top-five guy and I expect nothing less."

Andrew McFarlane is yet another rider that recently joined the injured reserve list. McFarlane, having what seems to be a long string of bad luck and injury's over the past few seasons, was hanging out in the rider's seating once again with his wife and child due to complications from dislocated bones in his hand. According to "Sharky", he injured himself while testing during the week. "I was out at the Kawasaki test track and I hit a new timing section on the track," McFarlane said. "I was doing it my whole first moto and feeling really good. I came up a little bit short, rode the front end into the next jump, and it dislocated my hand. They tried to put it back in without putting me out, but I ended up having to do surgery. They had to put a pin in my hand and do a little bit of ligament repair work, so I'm out for six weeks. The pin will come out after the fourth week, it'll probably take up until Daytona."

Last week's premier class main in San Francisco was host to a lot of mud, ruts, crashes, and intense battles. Throughout the mayhem, the regular frontrunners were joined by a relatively new face, as Bad Boy Honda privateer Jacob Marsack finished a career best fourth in the main event. After picking off most of the field by turn two of the main, Marsack put his head down and rode a smart consistent race, beating numerous factory riders in the process. "I got a pretty bad start, so I was pretty disappointed with that," Marsack said. "I passed a whole bunch of people right away-like in two corners on the first lap. I was able to get away and just work up and up, just staying consistent, going through the motions, and picking the right ruts just doing what I know.

So the second to the last lap Ivan Tedesco went down and I moved from fifth to fourth, and I was like, ‘Alright man, I better stay up now!"'

With his exceptional performance in the mud, one might think Marsack to be a seasoned mud rider. Truth be told, he just rode his own race, concentrated on starts, and it all worked out. "I practiced a lot of starts. I think it was a hundred and fifty. I drove up to San Francisco a little early and kind of got acclimated to the rain. I just tried to get really prepared for the race. I put my head down, got a good start in the qualifier, and made the main. Once I was in the main, I felt a pressure release, I just said to myself, ‘I'm finally in, now I can go to work.' It's definitely a big change riding with the faster guys. The seeded practice that I just rode [here at Anaheim III] was good. It really helped. When you're in the slower practice, people can get in the way and stuff like that. It's nice to be up there showing them that I'm one of them. It feels good."

Marsack's current goal is to become this year's top privateer, and see where that takes him. "If everything goes right, I'm planning on being the top privateer," Marsack said, "but I've got Heath Voss there, which is going to be pretty hard to beat. He's good, he did pretty good in the mud race too. I'm going to try to make every main event, get good points, and make top privateer."

That's it until next week where we come to you from San Diego. Until then, "You stay classy America." Check back later this week for more coverage of your favorite sport.
