On a Saturday afternoon where the weather conditions could be called nothing less than 'perfect' the Inaugural IMS Division 2 and Division 3 National Championship Format Race took place at the Famous Inland Motorcycle Speedway at the National Orange Show Fairgrounds in San Bernardino California.

The beautiful back drop of the San Bernardino mountains and Mount San Gorgonio shows why a venue in the Inland Empire region is so awesome for the area and the sport of Speedway. During the riders meeting it was mentioned by the "Mad Dog" Shawn McConnell that we have a track prepped for nice sliding fun suited for the divisions riding.

Riders from all over So-Cal and as far away as the Fast Fridays area of Auburn, CA were ready to test the track, and their skills. After 20 Heats of fierce racing the points totals dictated the results.

In what only reality could script. A run-off in Division 2 would determine the out come for the top 3 spots, as three riders were tied with 13 points each. In Division 3 a run-off between #235 Carl Shockley and #192 Mitch Pierson would be necessary to determine the winner of 3rd place. The winners and their point totals are below. Congratulations to the Winners. Referee for the event was Steve Lucero. Track duties Benny Mears and Alan Alvord.
