Spring is here, and the 2014 FL/GA Spring Series has begun at Bostwick Creek Mx Park! As it seemed to work so well during the Fall Classic, the FGSC will again be hosting some of the Florida Trail Riders Mx Series events during the Spring Series. This should make for some exciting racing once again, as FTR riders line up at the gate alongside the FGSC riders to compete. April showers arrived a little too early at Bostwick on Saturday, forcing practice to be cancelled in order to ensure the best possible racing conditions for the next day's race. This proved to be a good decision, as the track was race ready on Sunday. The extra moisture sure made for some dirty number plates though! The score-keepers had their work cut out for them, trying to quickly identify each rider as they raced by.
The first race of the day, the D-C Unlimited class, was also the largest. Twenty two riders battled it out, but it was Honda rider Mark Zerrusen (#11) who would take the win with 1-1 moto finishes. Beach Blvd Motorsports rider Brandon Kent (SUZ #136) would take second, with Yamaha mounted Austin Grabow (#359) finishing in third.

Always a crowd pleaser, the Lites C class didn't disappoint. Moto one results differed greatly from moto two results throughout the field. At the end of the day though, Mark Zerrusen (HON #11) would go home with yet another win. Team BTR rider Danny Diciaccio would finish second, and Middlebrook Racing's Mason Middlebrook would finish third.
In the 16-29 class, yet another fast and aggressive group took to the track to show their skill. Jake Raikes (HON #44) finished first, with Tanner Hughes (HON #893), and Brian Castleberry (KAW #42) finishing second and third respectively. The 105-250cc 12-15 class winner was Beck's Tech's Team BTR rider Hunter Hawkins, with Billy Baker (YAM #54) taking second, and Michael Wise (KAW #21c) finishing third.
On the PeeWee track, the 50cc bikes were plentiful. Young Tyler Mollet (COB #20) took the win in the 50cc 4-6 class, and also finished third in the 50cc Open class. The 50cc Open class win went to Chase Matott (KTM #57), who also took the win in the 50cc 7-9 class. Ryder Gwynn (KTM #5) finished in second place in both the 50cc Open and 50cc 7-9 classes. Jack Sessions (KTM #30) was the winner in the 50cc Beginner class, with Dyllon Kimsey (KTM #529) and Camden Rodriguez (YAM #712) finishing the day in second and third place respectively.
