Felipe Velez
We got the Green flag and gas ON. Got the holeshot but got into a bad line and our good friend Javier Robles Q1 the defending champion passed Felipe Velez Q5 with 4 laps of 16 miles with an average of 40 miles in the heat it was hard for the Atvs and riders. It took 3 laps to pass Q1 but after same miles of fight for the 1st place we got exhausted and started to worry for heat stroke at the finish line Q1 Javier Robles finished 1st with 40 sec. lead on Q5 Felipe Velez and after 5 min the 3rd place was for (filemon) Gilberto Perez.
In the ATV Expert class Jose Luis M. Velez finished 2nd place after a bad start and Julio Banda Jr. got the top podium. Q3 Stefano Caputo finished 1st place on the ATV Pro over 35 class.
Our team came back home witH 3 trophies and very happy to see our friends at the race!
