Finally put together an edit of the race day footage. It's very nashmoto specific, but you get an idea of what it's like to race the Grange track - great fun. Thanks to Neil of SoCal Motor Bicycle Racing for putting this together and doing a great job.

Special thanks to Ken for unexpected video coverage and Ann for great photos she shot throughout the day. See you at the next race in April 7, 2012.

This time we're racing in Southern California, Apple Valley to be exact. This SoCal Motor Bicycle Racing event October 22, 2011 at Grangé Motor Circuit, a technical track that's demanding on the riders, was very fun.
