• Riverfront MX has practice from 9 until 2 p.m. Sunday. Prairie City has open practice Saturday from 9 until 2 but the day is a memorial ride for Donny Tillery. The proceeds will benefit his family. Then Sunday, from 9 until 2 is open practice.
• E Street is reconfiguring their track but will have open practice from 9 until 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
• MMX has a different weekend this time. Due to the weather the final rounds of the Triple Crown Series was rescheduled for Saturday and Sunday and will probably be run on the main track.
There will be practice Saturday from 9 until 2 on the Sand and Kid tracks. Same times on Sunday but the vintage track will be used for an OSMX Ride Day. So it’s going to be a very busy two days for this track.
