11 racers signed up for the Utility class

Andy and the Crew all lined up for the riders meeting. A moment of silence was done in honor of Pat Kirkland. Pat Kirkland passed away in January. The only noise was the running of the engine on Pat's quad. His brother Jason Kirkland also made his own tribute by racing the utility class.
