FGSC racers arrived at round #2 of the 2014 FL/GA Fall Championship ready for some high-flyin' fun at Pax Trax Mx Park! The 50cc riders and their parents were excited to attend the Pax Trax round, as the Pax pee-wee track is a rider favorite. The track offers a great opportunity for young riders to safely advance their jumping skills. The 50cc classes were some of the largest the series has seen yet, accounting for more than 50 entries. The 50cc Beginner class was the largest, with 21 entries! The days racing started with the 50cc 4-6 class, and Limay Rivera (COB #818) charged hard and left his competition behind. Rivera rode well, and his 1-1 finshes gave him the overall win in the 50cc 4-6 class. Tyson Longbottom (KTM #21) would take second place in moto 1, ahead of Calen Myers (KTM #73). Myers would best Longbottom in the second moto though, and his 3-2-moto scores would award him second overall.
The large 50cc Beginner class was won by DominicTavolacci (KTM #712), whose 2-1 moto finishes beat the 1-3 moto scores of Marvin Niezabitowski (KTM #223). Calen Myers and Tyson Longbottom would meet to do battle again in the Beginner class, with Myers again finishing ahead and taking home third place overall.
Racing was exciting to watch in the 50cc Open class, with many talented riders charging hard to try to get the win! Racers would charge fast into the corners, battling to see who would take the win. Ryder Gwynn (KTM #5) emerged victorious with 3-1 moto scores. Nathan Jeffery finished in second place overall, with 2-2 scores. Third place overall went to Chase Matott (KTM #57). Matott won the first moto, but a third place second moto finish was not enough to beat out the consistent 2-2 moto scores of Jeffery. The three would battle again in the 50cc 7-9 class, again finishing Gwynn-1, Jeffery-2, Matott-3.
Terranova's Restaurant and Pizzeria was on site, preparing delicious food for riders and spectators. Series sponsors Loudmouth, Beck's Tech, HBD MotoGrafx, The Moto-Stop, and Ruthless were also set up at the race offering rider support. Pax Trax is also a spectator favorite, and stands were full! Spectators were surely treated to great racing and a birds eye view of all the high-flyin' fun!

Racing on the main track was just as intense as the pee-wee track competition. Close racing and many moto battles ensued from start to finish, as racers worked hard to try to win. With all the fast, close racing, all were glad to have Mark Cassano of Staff Medics, and his crew on the track to provide care in the event of any crash injuries. Riders soared high in the air, showing off their skills and providing quite a show for fans. Beautiful Florida weather and entertaining racing was certainly enjoyed by all at Pax Trax Mx Park.
