What do we do when the temps go up in the summer? We wait for the sun to set and we line up behind the gates. The first night race of the season kicked off with the Copperstate Classic. This series is an institution at Arizona Cycle Park and seems everyone wants to be committed. Check out the racing from under the lights!
I was starting to second guess being out on the track for practice with the triple digit heat, but boy am I glad I stuck around. The temp started to drop along with the gates at the final Copperstate race for the summer. It was a great series and fun to get out under the lights. Check out the action below!
What a way to kick off the first night race in three years at Arizona Cycle Park with the Copperstate Classic. All the boys and girls were racing to bring home some hardware for Mom on this Mother’s Day eve. It was great to see a big turnout for some night time fun. Check out the action below.
Who was excited to get back to some racing? I know I was stoked to get back to the track and watch some gate drops. A one-off Copperstate race at Arizona Cycle Park on a Saturday night was just what the doctor ordered to chase away those Covid blues! Check out the racing action!
The sun set both literally and figuratively on the final round of the 2017 AMA Copperstate classic. Double points and a night race gave riders a challenge on the track and a chance to make up points or extend their lead. Congrats to all the class champs!
