Round #3 -July 1,2,3 - Calgary is hosting the first International Pocketbike Challenge, Bring it on!! BMS took first place in all three open class races at last weekends AMRA event. We would love to see more BMS riders come out to show that BMS is the best!
Ya, and if I'm correct BMS just took first place on July 3rd, Right? I thought it was cool to see the American Made Giannini and some Banshee's. The Banshee's didn't finish too well though.
For this weekend's races, BMS riders put on a good show. And yes, it was fun to ride in the racing. The Giannini did qualify in first place for adults in the 40 class, took first in one of the 40cc heats and 2nd in the Open 50 class (on a 40cc 3 port Testarossa motor). The other heats were only 1 class apart and therefore there was not enough time to troubleshoot what turned out to be failing coils on both my bikes. Also, the 1st place overall trophy winner in the 40 class I believe was on a GRC not a BMS.
Nevertheless, there's no doubt that the BMS riders up there have some skills. Knight had a nasty spill but came back to win a...brake disc...
Actually I think BMS took first and second overall in the open class but I could be wrong...no wait a secound, it was BMS with some Phat guys on them!!
