is holding another event at Valley Dirt Riders. I am
sure they will have the track in great condition as
always. Not to mention all the dirt bike play areas
they have. Grown men on 50cc motorcycles on a
50cc track is always fun.
Round 11 is in Craig on July 20th and this
time we will not miss it! This is a D25 race and the
turn-out is going to be big. The riders love this
track and the Yampa Valley Sportsriders put on a
great show. I will keep you posted on this track as
they only race there a few times a year. From the
sound of the riders that have raced there it seems
they need about 10 more races! Visit www.rmxa.
com to get more info about the series or tracks.
In the last issue I wrote about Aztec
raceway in Colorado Springs. There is a reason
why…. $20.00 race entry! If have the itch to race
or just want to get started look at the Wednesday
night racing that the crew at Aztec put on. No gate
fees, no membership and spectators get in for free!
It’s the best deal in Colorado to get some racing
time or just to learn the ropes and get started. Visit
www.aztecraceway.com to get the info you need!
Until next time be safe, wear all the gear
you can afford and keep the shiny side up.
