Racing preview this week has two motocross events listed as well as where to find the updates on this year’s Dakar Rally.

While there is less than a month from the start of racing in our area there are two motocross races in California that area riders will be traveling to.

Down at Bishop, at the Tri-County Fairgrounds, the third round of the winter series will be run and gates open at 7 a.m. Then on Sunday over in Turlock, at the Oatfield Raceway, the AMP MX Winter Series begins.

At least some from Team Testa will be at the race in Turlock while there might be some area riders heading for Bishop. We here at Nvracingnews would like to wish them the best.
