GNCC Round 2
GNCC Round 2 is in Palatka, Florida this weekend (March 2nd and 3rd). This event is held near the Rodman Plantation , where many other events such as weddings, parties and retreats happen. The land is beautiful but holds a tough course. The track is sandy and filled with mud holes. There is a variety of terrain from tight tree sections, to wide open flat stretches.
Gates will open Thursday evening at 6pm. There are camping hookups, but if you didn't grab a reservation in advance, all the spots are full.
Saturday will host the ATV events as well as ePeeWee (Stacyc). Dirt bikes race Sunday. As usual, the Team Faith chapel service will also be held Saturday evening at 7pm. You can also catch a Supercross watch party at the finish line!
Keep an eye out for our sponsored pro Ronnie Rusch and the Am Pro Yamaha team!
Supercross Round 8
Supercross racing hosts Round 8 at the Daytona Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The race is March 2nd at 7 pm.
This is Florida's only Supercross event! You can grab general admission tickets with optional trackside add ons here. As the site states, parking is limited so be sure to purchase a pass in advance to guarantee a spot.
