July 27th 2013 NIGHT RACE Willow Springs Speedway 1/4 mile Paved Oval BOARD TRACKING!

Big thanks to Norm for sponsoring the race with your www.VeniceMotorBike.com T shirts.
We missed you and Jenn at a really fun new experience for most of us.

Oval racing under the lights is a blast!

Huge thanks to Rob and Greg at www.PistonBikes.com for all the prizes
and showing up with a lot of racers and spectators.
Rob and Greg also did a fantastic job of flagging and getting the scoring
down on the fast paced and closely finished races.

Scott from www.SilverStateCycles.com came all the way from Vegas
with his friend Brad to support the oval race with another of their really nice frame,
tank and fork kits for the hotly contested 66 cc Amateur class.

Scott is so busy keeping up with all the orders that he couldn't stay until the finals.
I did get to ride their 4 speed Lifan powered board tracker.
It starts with a push of a button, accelerates and handles great with style.
It's Scott's daily rider that he commutes 15 miles to work on.

Thanks to Jake of www.TheJakeBike.com for providing the generator for the PA and for
some exciting racing from his team on his favorite kind of track which would be oval.

Thanks to Dave at www.ArrowMotorizedCycles.com for bringing out a lot of new
racers to our first oval race and for putting on a helluva show on the track on one of
Jakes bikes as well as setting some very fast lap times on scotto's fast Preddie.

Great crowd of racers and spectators. You meet the nicest people at the track. :D

A lot of people stayed overnight and hung out on Sunday morning.
I was the last to leave on Sunday afternoon. Ending up having to get a 95 mile tow
back to LA because of car trouble so will get some pics and the results up after I go
over to the mechanic, pick up the results and camera reader out of the wagon.

Thanks to Andy and Scotto for the videos and for supporting the races, you guys are the
last ones to have been at every race. That's hard core! :)

Buba, great to see you back at Willow Springs having a fun time. Let's do it again soon.

here is one pic that I got from #77 Dave who won a couple of heats and came 3rd in the
16 lap final race in the 66 cc 2 stroke Amateur Class.

The prize ceremony went off great with scotto being the fastest bike on
the track in a class of his own.

Yep, scotto lapped everyone and put on quite a show that has inspired
Dave Rust and Jake Busey to build 200 cc 4 stroke race bikes to get into
the unlimited class at the next race on the oval on Saturday September 7th.

Scott at Silver State Cycles never ceases to surprise with his generosity by
driving all the way from Vegas to support Socal Motor Bicycle Racing with yet
another of his board track frames complete with a stainless tank and springer
fork.

The 66 cc 2 stroke Amateur class was hotly contested because of Silver State
Cycles grand prize and the 16 lap final was hard fought with #707 Gerrit winning
the race and frame.

#59 headtrama won the 66 cc Intermediate class with Sarge #44 coming in second
followed by #310 Jake Busey of TheJakeBike.com

#89 Mark Fitzgerald won the PRO class for Arrow Motorized Cycles with
#57 Kevin coming in 2nd for Piston Bikes.

Thanks to Rob and Greg for a bunch of carbs, throttles and other cool
parts for prizes and to Norm at Venice Motor Bikes for all the T Shirts. :)

Unfortunately I left the box with a couple of CNS carbs and the full race
results sheets on the bleachers and someone walked off with them.

Let me make a few phone calls and I can probably figure out the rest of the
results.

www.SilverStateCycles.com $499 for this frame, tank and fork!

Willow Springs will have a food trailer in our pits serving hamburgers, chips, energy bars, sodas, water, etc from 5 pm to 8 pm

Let me know if you want anything else on the menu.

There is no drag racing that night so the Diner will be closed at 2 to 3 pm.

Lots of action at Willow with the Porsche club racing on The Streets of Willow Sat & Sun right behind us.
Motorcycles on Big Willow and M1GP racing on Horse Thief Sat & Sun too.

Christian at Willow put our event on their website with a video from the previous July 27th oval night race.
