    Double Header Weekend Recap

    Send us a text On this week’s episode, we dive into TJ’s race in Morgan, Vermont with NEXC and recap Lucas’s first-ever ditch race in Manvel, North Dakota. TJ hit the ice for the second race of the season, while Lucas and the COR Powersports series took on their first ditch race in over three years. Two very different tracks, two very different challenges, and plenty to break down.

    Surviving the Cold | Park Rapids Recap

    Send us a text On this week’s episode, we dive into the Cor Powersports race at Park Rapids. With temperatures dropping as low as negative 25 degrees and even colder with the windchill, we still managed to go racing. The schedule was adjusted for safety, and we’re just glad the event wasn’t canceled. Up next on the circuit is the first ditch race in over three years, so nobody really knows who the guy to beat will be.
