If you haven't picked up your Picture Book, they will be available at the next race.

I don't know if anyone had any idea how close the Quad Amateur class Championship race was or not. But at the end of race number 17 two riders were tied for first place; Michael Bragg and Travis Blake. That meant that the entire season had come down to the last race to decide the Champion! Both riders rode a great race in both motos, there was a bit of a battle, but Travis Blake ended up the clear winner for the day (but only by four points) and thus is our 2010 Quad Amateur Champion! Congratulations Travis and Michael!!

We had a new crew of riders today from Pennsylvania; they called themselves the "Goon Squad". They even made it a point to tell the girls in the sign up tent their group's name. I thought about mentioning that during the race announcing, but I felt a bit reluctant. You see I always believed that goon meant bully or bad person (somebody that shoves others around, like an Ice Hockey enforcer) and I felt funny calling a new crew of riders a bunch of GOONS. I figured, let them ride first and see what they are like before calling them that. As it turned out; Jake Welsh, Nick Giovanelli, Ian Starkey, and Hunter Shriner, are all very good riders with great skills. In fact it looks to me like a couple of the riders are ready to move up a class (into the A and B classes). It was good to have you at the track and we hope you will continue to race with us. But, seriously guys, I would pick a new name for your group.

Jim Roth wrapped up several Championship Trophies today, he is the 65cc Class and Mini-Senior Champion and second in the Mini-Junior Class Championship. Calvin Valentine once again becomes our Mini-Junior Champion with an excellent effort this year!

Vince Boggs, in his first year of racing, becomes our Super-Mini Class Champion and gets second in the D Class Championship. Not only that but he won first place in the D Class and second place in the Super-Mini Class in the season finale.

Once again, Jacob Visnic shows why he is going to take home lots of Championship Iron this season. In the second moto of the Quad 80-110 Class, Jacob had trouble off the line, in fact his quad must have stalled, because he didn't even get off the line until the rest of the pack was 1/4 of lap around the track. Jacob got going and the amazing thing was that he caught and passed the entire pack before they reached the 1/2 lap mark, talk about flying!! Jacob is our Champion in the 50cc (7-8) Race Bike Class and the Quad 50 Class. Plus, he is second place in the Quad 80-110cc Class Championship and third in the 65cc Class Championship. This is a real "Iron Man", he rode 4 Classes this season!! 

While there is no Championship for Deron Glass this season, he didn't start the season soon enough, I wanted to mention his effort and improvement this season. Even though he had a pretty bad wreck through the six-pack, he came back to finish first in the Trail Bike 125cc Class and second in the 125cc B-C Class today. I can see a Championship Trophy in his future!

We were treated to an excellent battle in the 250cc C Class today, Aerion Weaver and Steven Glendenning swapped places a couple of times on the way to the finish. Aerion Weaver was victorious and Steven Glendenning ends up our Season Champ in not only this class, but also the 250 School-Boy Class. Unfortunately, Aerion didn't complete enough events to be eligible for a championship, otherwise he would have been our Open C Champ for sure. I see an excellent chance of several Championship Trophies in Aerion's future!!

I probably shouldn't mention this, I hope they don't mind. I found it very ironic that two of the three Weavers that raced today ended up doing a "Superman" off the start. I don't really mean the type of Superman you see at an Extreme MX Event either. You see, both Randy and Aerion contacted someones rear tire with their front wheel off the start at almost the same exact spot and the end of the start line straight and ended up over the bars in a flying position (thus Superman) and I think they both landed on the same exact spot on the track. I think that pretty much meets the definition of ironic. Both recovered and went on to excellent rides and finishes for the day. All of the Weavers, including Destin, had great seasons!! I hope you will all be back for next season, I see Championships for all.

I wanted to make sure to mention the Elliot Family, which is also blended with the Skinner Family and Cameron Harker. These are the nicest people you'll ever meet on a motorcycle. I always enjoy the day that much more when they are at the races. It is such a pleasure to see the support and love they have for their entire crew. They have quite a contingent at the races "On Any Sunday" at Fly MX Park!! This is the Elliots first year of racing and their two stars didn't disappoint, Tate brings home the Championship in the 50cc (4-6) Trail Bike Class and Alyssa  is the Champion in the Girls Mini-Junior Class. Also, in his first full season back at racing after a very bad injury (in which he thought he would never return to racing), Braden Skinner brings home a second place Championship Trophy in the Open B Class. An excellent effort considering the conditions he raced under. Lastly, the other favorite son brings home the Open C Class Championship: Cameron Harker!! Not too shabby of an effort for "Team Skinner/Elliot/Harker"!!

I don't know if you noticed, but I did, Ricky Crosby is really hitting his stride on the track (excuse the horse racing term) this season. Not only did he win the Quad Junior Championship, he did it with a Perfect Season. A perfect season is when you get 13 First Place Finishes or 260 points! In addition to that, he stepped up to the Quad Amateur Class a few times at the end of the season and really opened some eyes. If he can do that well in the Quad Amateur Class on a lesser Quad (300cc), imagine what he will be able to do on a Big Bore once he gets used to it.
