First, let me extend a sincere thank you to all the staff who made this another exceptional event, to the karter who participated in the event, and the SMX staff for the entertainment the Supermoto riders brought to the event – it was awesome to watch and your support is truly appreciated.  

From the comments, emails, and calls I have received from racers, fans, event sponsors, and our special guest, it is clear that a good time was had by all. 

Hope those who weren’t able to make the OCGP, or the OC Fair “Challenge in the Dirt”, will place it into your schedules next year.  Both events were well received by the racers and Fans and the two events combined brought in well over 8,000 spectators.  These were both excellent opportunities to bring karting to the public eye and generate support for the sport and its participants.

I have posted a few slideshows and an on-board video on You Tube.  Below are the links and we will post the individual photos on the USKart.com / SmugMug.com websites shortly.  Additionally, I am waiting on the race videos and will post those as soon as I get them.
