With only two rounds left in the South Texas Quad Racing Association’s 10 round series, the Southern Challenge is on!

The points are tight, the competition tough, and these final rounds will determine who takes the class championships and other top positions for the year!

Round 9 is scheduled for September 10th at Austin Del Valle Motocross Park and Round 10, a double points round, will be at Splendora Motocross Park October 15th.

As we head into those last two rounds, here’s a little recap to bring you up-to-date on the 2006 series:

ROUND 4
Rain poured for days leading up to STQRA’s Round 4, which became the first race at Highlands MX Park in Highlands, TX after it reopened under new ownership earlier this year. Mud boots were definitely needed in the pits, mud everywhere, but the rain stopped on Saturday and track personnel did a great job repairing and preparing the track.

Round 4 racing was on the supercross style “night track,” and riders were glad to see not much had changed since it closed last year.

STQRA’s 2005 champion John Buller piloting the borrowed #9, and Robert Salinas (#738) battled for first from start to finish in the Pro-Am class, putting on a great show for spectators.
