Dan's Melissa Gremal had a good race on Saturday, winning all of her motos and the 17 & Over Girls main.

You can always count on Cesar Bright showing up to a race with a new hat.


The 19-25 Novice class was chasing Cody Mack all day.  No one finished in front of him all day.

  Alyssa Isaacson(3) and Kayla Gilley(704) do some close racing on the final straight.  Isaacson took the win in this 9 Girls moto.

MCS's Jeff De Vido goes to the bottom of the corner to pass Hardcore's Patrick Deats.  De Vido won the first moto, but Deats took the next two.

15-16 Cruisers had a good match-up with Jordan Cusito(083), J&R's Juan Marin(614) and Robert Thaggard(845).  Marin was the first to the finish line in three motos and the main.
