Mother nature couldn’t seem to make up her mind for Round 4 of the MMA Spring Series at Farm Boys Raceway in Brandon, Manitoba. Although Sunday initially showed us a beautiful morning for racing, by looking into the horizon it was obvious rain clouds were looming nearby. The rain held off for most of the morning allowing for the morning motos to run through with a few unscheduled yet necessary breaks for track work. As the last scheduled moto of the morning, the Ladies classes, launched out of the gate the rain began to fall hard once again and the races were called off for the day.
A big thank you goes out to track promoter Craig Hargreaves and crew for their continuous efforts in trying to keep the track raceable for everyone.
