Mid East Racing | Wilson Memorial (Airport) 2024 | Vet-C
Mid East Racing visits Hickory NC for the Wilson Memorial (Airport) race. This is the last race of the season and everyone was on their A game today. I got off to a great start and was 2nd into the woods. I tried to make a pass on the leader, but our bikes ended up getting tangled up and we both went down. I forgot to turn my camera on for the beginning of the race, so I didn't get the crash on film.
I had a great time this season. There were a lot of really great and fast guys in the Vet class this year. It was great getting to know some of you all, and I look forward to next season. Time to put in some work and see if we can have better finishes next year.
Thank you everyone who has watch...

Mideast Racing visits the fairgrounds in Shelby NC for the Water Wheel Classic. It was a great day for racing with track conditions pretty dry and dusty. I made several major mistakes on the first and second lap, but was able to end out the day with a 7th place finish out of 23.

This is our second race here this season at Hillbilly Smash in Morganton NC. I don't care for this track that much so mentally I wasn't able to push like I needed to. I rode very conservative which lead to a 9th place finish out of 24 in my class. Be sure to hit the like button, leave a comment, and subscribe to the channel!

Mideast Racing visits Welborn Farms in Boonville NC. This is the first race back for the series since June. I had told myself that I would ride and train over the break, but that didn't happen at all. I can't make excuses but we had moved to another State over the break and there has just been so much going on that I have not been able to find the time for dirt bikes. I had a decent start to th...

      @ season will start back in February. You should definitely come out and try one!

You could also check out Lost Valley Motorsports park but they don’t have any single track from what I remember…4 wheeler wide trails.

Hopefully Harris bridge will dry up enough from all this rain we’re getting hammered with. That place is slick as snot if it’s wet.
