Hopefully you see the value in these changes to make things less confusing and have a positive impact on the fairness, competitiveness, and overall professionalism of the series. Thank you for your cooperation in following the new limits. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions!
Registration is live for @lengends.schmedium_enduro ! Only 2 more weeks to practice logs before Round 2. You've been warned! 🪵⚠️
This year they will have a Sportsman's class (no awards) for people new to the sport (or those seeking a less competitive environment) during the Women C, 85cc, 65cc race.
They have also pledged to make the C course easier and shorter so riders can get multiple laps in, rather than just 1 like previous years.⏳🏁

What did everyone think of the live engine "moto" starts?!
We thought it was something fun and different since the @eagleridgemotorcycleclub already has the awesome moto start setup!
