The second round of the Winter Cup thundered through Cahuilla Creek MX following a quick SoCal winter rain the previous day.  The track was in epic conditions to start out the day, but as the races clicked off the soft ground formed up deep ruts and lots of rough chop through the racing surface.  The second round of the series grew larger with 495 entries for the day and full gates in several classes.  The races ran smooth with tight racing in every class throughout the day.   For full race coverage, click on over to Transworld MX Racing to find results and HUGE photo gallery of all the racersclicked by Casey Davis.

The benefit ride day for Ross went extremely well!  The amount of money raised to help in his recovery was huge with a great showing of people coming out to support the event.  There was a huge amount of items donated for the raffle and auctions, with my favorite item of the day, a framed set of jerserys from this years MXoN team, donated by Pro Circuit.   To top off the day, the track was in excellent shape, and other than a little crowded, it seemed to be a very clean day of riding with a lot of happy riders wandering the pits throughout the day.  For more information, be sure to check out the Rossi Project website for updates on his progress as well as news.
