LACR Race weekend recap

Well the weather was a big factor this weekend blowing 20-40 mph all day long. Saturday the track was busy with lots of riders adjusting to the new layout.
There were some changes made to the track they took out the big triple at the bottom of the downhill as well as adding a bunch of tight bowl turns and a whoop section that give a lot of riders trouble. The start was also different with a 180 deg. turn into a quick left.
Sunday morning all of the board member were busy setting up the R2R raffle and sign up. Before the races started Rich and James presented Kevin Bussey donation Check from the OTHG members over $1,500 was raised and the Sierra chapter donated $350 and also presented them with a beautiful large machined aluminum number plate bearing Kevin's # 58  donated by one of the OTHG members. After the presentation there was a parade lap in memory of Kevin.

Throughout the morning Lori from R2R was busy selling raffle tickets and there was lots of great stuff given away during the break between the 1st and 2nd rounds of racing. Brian Allman was the lucky winner of the club raffle winning a 6D MX helmet. Thanks to everyone who bought R2R raffle tickets we raise $900. Also thanks to Lori from R2R for running all of the raffles.
