This week we have the not so good, very good, wild and things in the “Rerun Zone.”
Racing Preview for this week has some bad news for area motocross riders, at least for now. And it has three major events that can be watched either on TV or streamed over the Internet.
Over the hill the recent storms have slammed the motocross tracks in Northern California. The third round of the Triple Crown series that was supposed to run at the Oakfield track has been postponed for now.

Promoter Zeb Armstrong on Tuesday posted photos from his two tracks, Riverfront MX Park and E-Street MX.

Being right beside the river in Marysville, California has meant both are flooded again and much worse than a couple of weeks ago. So any practice sessions are probably out of the question but for any current information those interested should call the hotline at, 775-265-7223.
