Sunday 3/10 Race Cancelled
While we were able to get all the install work done for our new air system for the gate we were not able to test it how we would like as the rebuilt ram was not yet delivered to the track. We will be running the gate for a couple of hours starting around 1:30pm if you want to hang out and get some time on the track. And if you are looking for some racing, VMP has got you covered!!! Check their start time for your Sunday BMX fix!
