5 Down - 5 To Go: Canyon on Sunday, November 6 Since the wild November monsoon forced Race 3 at Motoland to be rescheduled for November 13, the Round 6 race became our half-way point. Fall Series – half way finished. Checking the website for both the Fall Series points and the Top Ten for 2022 – there’s still a lot of room for drastic changes. Five more opportunities to snag some solid points (especially if there’s a low turn-out… hmmm) anything can happen for both Series and Top Ten finishers. With impacts of broken bones, broken bikes, competing travel,...

Fourth Race in the Fall 2022 Series  -  10-30-22 at Canyon Trick or Treat time – and both were happening on Sunday.  There’ll be a rematch next weekend at Canyon and for those who couldn’t make the race on the 30th.  Sad to say, but we only have two more opportunities to race the Canyon track … after all these years it’s being closed at the end of 2022.  So many years of great memories on that track!  Race 3  -  The word of the day seemed to be “new” or “different” for the Master class.  Rick Arnold #97 showed...

First race of the Fall 2022 Series  -  9-25-22 at Canyon Talk about a “hot lap” … they were all hot!  The start of the AZOT Fall Series sure felt more like summer in the Valley!   But that didn’t stop 29 tough guys from showing up to race … and two of them even double classed.  After finishing his AZOT Expert class in Race 7, Troy Lang returned to the gate for Race 9 in the Vet Intermediate class.  Ditto for Rick Arnold – ran the AZOT Master class in Race 7, then Vet Open in Race 19.  And...

Canyon on Sunday, February 22: First, a big “Thank You” to Linda Neil for taking some photos for our website – great job, Linda!!! Got a couple of good ones of Jeff and his favorite competitor, Darren, didn’t you! Even our Photographer Bonnie gets a day off now and then. The third Spring Series race at Canyon was a highly-charged practice event a week before the AZOT International where everyone gets unknown competition from across the Western US and Canada. A lot of evenly paired racers, in all classes, made for some very tight motos! First up in Race 4...

AZOT International Race on February 26 - 27, 2022: Looks like the majority of people who raced in the 2022 AZOT International had a great experience and left on Sunday feeling like they definitely got their money’s worth. As with any event, there were some glitches and last minute surprises, but the energetic team of volunteers and Canyon track people worked together to keep the event moving smoothly and with some intense racing excitement. There were 131 total racers, 115 Old Timers, eight 30+ Vet and eight Support Under 30, in the different classes. Most classes finished three races on Saturday...
