Race Reports from Miami South

This past weekend kicked off the 2009 Florida State Series with a qualifier at Miami South BMX. The race drew about 115 motos each day, even with hurricane Paloma churning to the South. The weather held out though, with only a couple of sprinkles all weekend long…not enough to slow things down at all.

The MCS Factory Team was on hand to do some damage! Raul Gomez has re-classed back to amateur and scored his first qualifier perfect of the season, as did Tucker Rice in 11 Expert and Petey Peters in 19-25 Expert. Tucker had to settle for two 3rds in cruiser and Petey brought home a 4th and a “snowman in 16 and over open. Bryan Kipp has seen better weekends, taking home a fifth the first day and a DNQ on Sunday. Jeff DeVido got a 7th on day one and improved to a 4th on Sunday. Perry DeVido has bragging rights over his older brother Dean with a 7th and a 5th over two DNQs, respectively.

MCS is hoping to get their last two riders off the IR list before Christmas. CJ McQuire is back to riding the Orlando Track as we speak, so he should be good to go in about a week or so. Cory Watts dislocated one of his fingers, and will back soon.

The MCS guys also wanted us to give a shout out to their sponsors for helping make it all possible… Profile Racing, Answer BMX, THE, Intense Tire Systems, UGP, Odyssey, ODI, Sun Rims, Hot Shoppe, Hammer, PowerBar and DNA Energy Drink.

Thanks to Brian Fell for sending on the 411.
