Round 3 Race Report
John Writes; The AHRMA Moto Classica at Willow Springs Raceway is among my favorite every year. Essentially, any AHRMA event is among my favorite.

Las Vegas Race: Sunday Summary
The morning was packed with activity and we just made it to first practice. On the out-lap I spun up the rear on the throttle coming out of turn 4. The cold tire instantly broke loose and we were sideways. When a sidecar spins "chair away" it's bad news. That's how you flip over. as … Continue reading Las Vegas Race: Sunday Summary
