Default What did you see at the Oct 22 Grange race?

I saw an e-bike battery pack detonate across pit row from my group. I saw several racers go down on the track, including myself. I saw dirt bikers across the fence watching us compete. I saw canopies flying in a gust of wind. I saw every kind of motorbike I could imagine, from the bizarre to the best. I saw what it was like to score a race. But mostly I saw everyone having a great time.

Wow - wish I was there. I am still hobbled, but can motivate myself. Sounds like a blast!

We have prizes to give out and no verified winners. Can someone at least post the winners, so we can triple check verify, then match with the Official winners and get some prizes out and on the way.

Big thanks to Sick Bike Parts, Manic Mechanic and Affordable Go Karts for some very cool prizes!

Pablo, I have to go make some money today so I will get to the results
as soon as possible. There is no great hurry..........I mean it's not like I
am getting paid to host these races.

1st in the 2 stroke race was magrider #1 plate from Willow Springs
but he is back to #8 for the next race because #109 PaulD won the
Ultimate Race on his very fast ebike.

2nd place in the 2 stroke race was Jim Rust #5 from La Habra.

3rd in the 2 stroke race was Rodney #86 from the Piston Bike crew.

4th in the 2 stroke race was bairdco #33

5th in the 2 stroke race was nashmoto #98 on a 4 stroke and 1st in the 4 stroke class

6th in the 2 stroke race was Flying Dutchman #32

7th in the 2 stroke race was Karen Hicks #29 who also raced at Willow Springs.

Seeing your son's expressions on the track was priceless! I had a great time mixing it up with him thoughout the main. Ima start calling him the "Iceman" because he raced flawless and was so cool under pressure. I'm so looking forward to the next race. (c;

Congrats! you came in 2nd in the combined Mid Range and < 11 hp class.



Getting passed by Chris's very fast Moped that ran away from everyone
but did not count in the scoring.
