Tech and Sign up prep.
Mark Wilson putting down some fast laps – Mark holds second place in the Pro ATV Class in overall points
Wayne Anderson came out to round 4 from Arizona, and rode very well! Wayne had a crash in one of his first motos, but put it behind him and stayed on the gas the rest of the day. This kid has heart!
If you look closely at this picture you will see Justin Luna with a cast on his left arm. Not even a cast can stop this kid from putting down some crazy fast laps. Justin led quite a few laps in the 450 Novice class.
Ty Durenberger Took home the 90 mod win for the day
Bill Markel was working demolition for the Starwest MX track this day. Bill took out over 40 feet of fencing and 3 post with his Raptor 660 – I’m kidding, Bill had a pretty good crash, but got up and finished the day. Glad to see Bill was ok, he’s a good racer and a great guy!
Triumph Motorsports built Raptor 250 and Jerry Maldonado swept the Open 250 from start to finish
Dylan Dixon won the Pro Holeshot award from PEP racing suspension in Moto 2
See ya next round in AVI for Father’s day – Going to be a 3 day event, check the website for details.
