Clifford, PA - The third round
of the NEATV-MX Series was held over Memorial
Day weekend in Clifford, PA at Hurricane Hills.
The track was in excellent condition and lived
up to its name. The track was full of doubles,
whoops, and an elevation that could be quite intimidating.
There was a spectacular crowd on hand during the
holiday weekend. The rain showers held off leaving
high temperatures and partly cloudy skies.

John and Michelle Natalie made a surprise appearance
to the series. Both Natalie’s had an excellent
day at the track and experiencing the NEATV-MX
Series. “I like the series, it’s
a lot different from the Nationals. I am going
to try to make more of these races, at least,
the ones that don’t conflict with Nationals,”
stated John Natalie.
Michelle raced in two classes,
Women’s and Open A, while at round three.
Michelle did really well at the track, even
though the rules are much different from those
that she is use to at Nationals.
“It feels
like we’re breaking rules because they
are so lenient here, but everyone’s friendly
and it seems to be a great series,” stated
Michelle.
