CLIFFORD, PA, JUNE 13, 2010

Hurricane Hills hosted round 14 of the District 34 Championship Series on Sunday, June 13^th and Mother Nature did not cooperate. A little more than half of the first set of motos were run before darkening skies finally let loose and dumped over two inches of very heavy rain in a very short period of time, causing flash flooding throughout the area, including the racecourse. The dedicated Hurricane Hills track crew went to work and got the flooded course drained out and raceable in about an hour.  

Honda pilot, Chris Snow, topped the podium of the Over 25 B/C division with a perfect 1-1 score. Snow holeshot both motos and rode wire to wire taking both moto wins uncontested.  Jose Silva took the runner-up tier of the podium with a consistent 3-3 tally and Aparecipo Silva completed the rostrum with a 2-4 score.
