No excuses local motocross riders!! Helena is perfect, Great Falls is perfect. If you want a fun time, in bed by 10pm, pick a city and show up!!
Helena and Great Falls try very hard not to compete with Wednesday nite events, and for the remainder of the year, we are on different nights.
Good luck to everyone, hope to see you at a track in Central MT!!

Hey 35.
I understand your concern. Last week, we had 49 riders at the race, 0 from Helena. We love you track, and from what I understand, 3 riders from ECDR attended your race in May. It was heavily considered to cancel this date all together. Ultimately, we figured 25-40 Great Falls riders was better than no race at all. We are not trying to step on your toes, and apologize for the conflict. I hope that the die hard riders from GF and Helena will forgive us. Our events this year are designed to grow the ECDR membership for riders not participating in the HCMA yet, and our work committees.
If you have additional thoughts, I am always open to bringing them to the board for consideration.
Keith

Each class is different. Please see the flyer attached in the first post for your class and the laps for each moto. Most of us try to ride two classes each night. Great Falls is approximately 2mins a lap for pro's. You can judge your speed off of the pro times versus your ability.

Great Falls Spring Tuneup Race is a GO!!
Come to Great Falls - Weather is not suppose to come in until the afternoon.
Track is completely ready. We have not watered, just incase the rain does hit. We can take a ton of water on the track and still ride.
Great Falls Spring Tuneup Race is a GO!!
