BLACKFOOT, ID: The second round of Dirt Riot series races start this weekend at Gray Rock ORV’s Southeast Series race. Racing will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday May 2nd with Pro Class qualifying, followed by multiple classes of racing until approximately 4:30 p.m. when the top 3 drivers in each class will be awarded trophies and cash winnings. The winners of each race is determined by the most number of laps completed in a set amount of time.
“The weather looks to be outstanding this weekend! The racecourse is nearly the same as last year, except that we are running it backwards from previous years. The mud holes that have hampered the race in the past are much drier and two more days of dry air will make them even better. The big rock downhill will not be used this year as it would be a race-stopping up hill climb,” said Rich Klein, President and founder of W.E. Rock Events. “We are really looking forward to a great race this weekend and continuing the Southeastern Series.”
