With a new track and some fresher pavement, OMRRA Junior racers put on a great show while under the watchful eyes of OMRRA & USGPRU 'big bike' riders. Team BMS took top podium finishes in 3 classes.

Pocketbike Dad, Brian Benton, provides insider perspective of the weekend

It was definitely hot when the track went live on Saturday for practice on a new track layout in a new location. The track surface this year is a big improvement over last years track! It is a little bit less area but the smoother surface made up for it.

Congrats to Peter Lenz for his three 1st place finishes. WOW Peter was crazy fast on this little technical track!

Congrats to Riley for his 1st, 4th and 5th place finishes and Carly for her 3rd and 6th place finishes. Levy sure gave Riley a run for his money in the CAG class and almost passed him several times But, Riley was on his game and was not going to let Levi have the race without giving it his 110%.

It is good to see Levi out of retirement and he and Jared got new GRC's for the 2006 season. Watch out for these two brothers, Jared has won his last two Novice races and I think they will be winning Pro races before you know it.

All the racers did a great job this weekend and we had NO major crashes!

The new "Get off your bike and we have to Red flag the race and the crashed rider is OUT" is a bit out of line though! I Protest!
