RACING PREVIEW: OCT 27 TO 30

Even at this late date there is still racing to see or watch.

Racing preview for this weekend reflects the shrinking of events as series are winding up. While the pickings are getting slimmer in the two-wheeled world the racing is still hot and heavy.

The big event this weekend will be when MRANN makes its annual visit to Moon Rocks for the Halloween Hare Scrambles presented by the Rimbenders and Cheaters Motorcycle Clubs. It’s called the Moonrocks Revenge 100.

The action begins at 9:30 a.m. when the Pee Wees begin their race. This time there are some special sections and might even be a covered area these youngsters get to ride through.

Then at 11 a.m. the Mini Bikes, Saturday Women as well as the Bombers get their chance. After that, at 1 p.m. there will be team races.

And all through the weekend there is a costume contest, Trick or Treating Saturday night and even a Camp Decorating contest. It’s a fun fill time out there.
