Racer Productions had a course set up for this race that was fantastic. At nearly 2 1/2 miles, it would have provided an ideal platform for these young riders to prove what they could do! Unfortunatley, severe rains settled in friday evening and the course was shortened.

Track officials scrambled to alter the course, and are shown here giving riders and parents an update prior to the start.
