The sight of the fast-approaching 2024 World Championships held high hopes for racers throughout the sanction. With Pros returning from their international travel, their race legs held untapped speed ready to be unleashed upon the final regular series race weekend. The battles started immediately with the Women pro capitalizing on a wide-open points opportunity. Payton Ridenour had the first straight power to lead the ladies into turn one, but a slip of the clutch opened up the inside line for Felicia Stancil while the pack hit the scramble button in Friday’s main event. The win unleashed Stancil’s winning ways, taking the Saturday win and the first two wins of her season.

Down to the small hill, big action awaited the fans, and the hometown hero, KJ Romero, was ready to deliver. Romero put his local training sessions to the test as Alan Hudson, Emilio Falla, and Sergio Salazar joined the front of the pack. While Emilio Falla looked strong through the first three straight on Friday night, Sergio Salazar used his fast last straight to snag away the win. Looking to repeat, the turn-one clutch popped again, but this time it was KAY JAY who benefitted. With a clear track and the top spot locked in, the 9 to 5 working Vet bar humped his way across the line for the Saturday win in front of his local crowd.
