NNMXS TAKES TO IT'S SAILS FOR 2008

It's official, rounds 1 & 2 were kicked off with a huge following of talented riders that made the trek to the newly renovated Horn Rapids Motorsports Complex. Riders from all over came out to test their abilities with the "Best in the Northwest", with competitors coming from all parts of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and even Canada. With over 1200 entries for the entire weekend, the Pacific Racing and HRMC staff catered to 96 motos and over 350 laps on the HRMC course.

Track conditions held up very well and kept riders on their toes as the courses lines changed throughout the day. Skagit Powersports was on hand servicing the riders with parts, tires and anything else to keep their bikes running. Rockstar NW was in support handing out product and doing a little motoing in between. Hyper X Racewear was in full force lettering up custom sweatshirts and jerseys. DeVol Engineering was busy all weekend setting up suspension and keeping riders tuned for top performance. And can't forget our Co-Title sponsor Motorsport.com, as she was out and about checking out the NW racing scene. With our very good friends at Prontopics.com for shooting some amazing photos of all the riders.

The pro classes were stacked for the weekend, Greg Crater coming off the SX circuit to show all his homeboys how it's done on Sunday, with a flawless 5 out of 6 moto win to take the overall wins in the 450cc Pro and Unlimited Pro classes. Trevor Mort a new addtion to the B class, just moving from the 85cc classes swept the 250 B and 450 B classes to take home the top spot and some nice contingency money from Yamaha. Caleb Start is going to be a force to be reckoned with as he lays down the law in the 65cc classes. The 50cc classes are becoming to be heated battle as Garrison Keane and Ben Carey switch moto finishes for both Saturday and Sunday. These kids will be tomorrows up and coming pro riders. Women's classes are growing and offering some great competiton as Shaylynn Harris leads the pack and Sydney Babcock very close in tow.
