Grassroots Races

Grassroots Races are held every Thursday evening and on the third Saturday of each month from April – September. The purpose of these races is to provide a progressive pathway for novice riders to take their racing experience to the next level and to help riders qualify to participate in our USAC-sanctioned races.

No sanctioned points, prizes, or primes – just fun!
