SoBe Texas Championship Summer Series
Round &: Cycle Ranch MX Park
FLORESVILLE, TX, JULY 20-21
After a solid week of tropical downpours, two
rainout dates and excessive flooding through-
out central Texas, the final round of the SaBe
Texas Summer Series finally went off with
more than 375 racers in attendance. The
weather was fantastic (for those who don't
mind 100-plus-degree heat - in the shade)
and the racetrack, as usual, was loamy
perfection. thanks to Mike Pitts and crew.
The series was a great success, thanks to
SoBe and Donny McDaniel, along with Steve
Burns, Suzi Beabout and Kyle Parks of
Extreme Outdoor Motors (who provided the·
championship number-one plates). Ponca City
announcer Lynn Nickerson was on hand,
doing a fantastic job on the mic and briefly
interviewing some of the racers. The series
was sponsored by SaSe, VP Fuels, Mr. Moto,
Spy, Maxima, Fly Gear, Western Power
Sports, EVS, Swishers Action Power Sports,
and J&M Racing, with additionai support provided by Cycle Country Yamaha of New
Braunfels, Joe Harrison Honda, Alamo Cycle
Plex, Yamaha of San Antonio, and, of course,
the other tracks involved in the series - San
Jacinto, Village Creek and Highlands
motocross parks.
