The second of the combined FL/GA Spring Championship & Florida Series races was held this past weekend at Orlando MX Park. The combination of these two popular racing series has proven to be a recipe for success, with the Orlando MX race bringing in over 300 entries. Riders and series promoters were happy to see big gates and great racing. Orlando MX had made some track changes before the race weekend, and Saturday's practice was the first opportunity for riders to try out the new changes. FLMN spoke with many riders over the weekend, and everyone seemed to be quite pleased with the track's latest changes. Many reported that the latest changes made the track seem to flow better, and all gave their approval. Lots of racers made for lots of great moto battles, and some great passes!
85cc racers were out in force at the Orlando MX event. All of the 85cc classes had large numbers of riders on the gate. Matt Jorgensen (KTM #4) took the win in the laargest class of the day, the 85cc 9-11 class. Jorgensen would finish in first both motos, followed by Max Renner (KTM #101) and Josh Clark (KTM #51). In the Open Money class, Tristan Lane rode well, taking home some money with his 1-1 moto scores. The Plus/Vet classes also saw large gates. Age is certainly NO deterrent for great motro battles, as some of the day's best racing was seen in the "old guy" classes. The largest Plus classes were the Plus 40 and Plus 45 classes. Robert Butts (HSK #120) won the Plus 40 class, and Nate Ingram (KTM#50) took the win in the busy Vet Novice class. In the 50cc Open 4-9 class, Tyler Cole (COB #18) took the win, ahead of Bubba Moody (COB #259) and Dougie Niezabitowski (KTM #308).
The next combined FL/GA Spring Championship & Florida Series race will be on April 17th at Motocross of Marion County (Reddick). Be sure to plan a trip to Reddick, Florida on the 17th to watch, or participate, in all the great moto fun! Check out the TOP 5 results, photos, and video from the Orlando MX race below.
