A beautiful day as far as the weather goes with temperatures in the low 80's and plenty of bright sunshine greeted the riders of the Koontz Series as this round headed into Oakland, Maryland for a full day of racing. This was the first Koontz race this season at this location and the riders were excited about hitting up a course that had not been pounded by racing activity.
Paul Koontz, the man behind this series knows all to well that the young riders are the future of our sport. He was one of the first on the east coast to offer classes for 50, 70 and 90cc riders to learn the skills needed to one day become champions! Paul saw the value in adding a 13-15 Youth class limited to 300cc for this season and while the class entries have not been record breakers, it is gaining acceptance and growing.
