CMRC race at GopherDunes

This past Sunday at Gopher Dunes CMRC held their first points race and ANQ.
The weather was not looking so good because the rain was coming. When the morning arrived there was lots of it.

The Dunes was packed full of riders. I haven't seen that many motorhomes and trailers in a while. For the first time in a while, the ATVs were on the schedule this weekend. From what I was told it was a numbers situation. It is more feasible now to run bikes and ATVs on the same day. The track was in awesome condition thanks to the Schuster family and their hard work.
With the track nice and smooth it made it very fast, however some riders paid the price and crashed hard.

By the afternoon the ruts were deep which helped slow the pace down so there were less crashes.
It was nice to see full gates. When 40 riders fly into the first corner it's a cool sight. The ProAm race had a handful of full-time Pro national riders in it. Kyle Keast and Tyler Medaglia had a good battle in both motos with Tyler taking the overall with a 2-1 and Kyle taking second with a 1-2. Third place went too Nathan Bles.

In a week they will be racing at Motopark. They have added some new dirt that has made it even better.
