On The Pegs July 2019 - Volume 4 - Issue 7 | Page 152

On The Pegs 152 Prior to the rain on Saturday, the facility hosted an open ride day on the moto track with the GasGas crew on hand conducting demo rides on their 250 and 300 XC bikes. The BBXC series is off for the month of July but will resume action at another new venue, Byron Motorsports Park, in Byron, Illinois on August 4. There is much anticipation for the Pro/AA race at this event as Beta factory rider, and local hero, Cody Barnes is slated to attend and defend his Greg Moss Memorial trophy. There has also been talk that Josh Strang and the factory Kawasaki team will take advan- tage of the open weekend on the national scene to compete for a win at the first- ever Midwest Meltdown presented by Checkpoint Off-Road. Round three is the second stop of the Timbersled Triple Crown, one of three races in the BBXC series that qualifies participants for a random drawing for a Tim- bersled snow bike kit valued at over $5,000.
