By: Steve Evans

Joe Jones and Jimmy Olsen in Sidecars, and Joey Holt in Speedway both produced unbeaten performances to win their respective divisions in the September 11th at Ridgecrest Motor Speedway.

The evening kicked off with a 9/11 tribute from the local Navy base's color guard. Racing in all divisions was fast and furious and both winners had to come from behind a couple of times in their heats.

The next Ridgecrest race is Saturday 24th October, when the Desert Empire Fair is in town. The format that night will be a 15 heat British League team race event between Ridgecrest Aces and Victorville Vikings. There will also be races for support classes.

The Sidecar Nationals conclude at Victorville on 17th October, when double Championship points will be on the table.
