Wheels Keep On Turn’ In Things aren’t going the way they were planned. The Yamalube Schrader’s SMX Racing team seems to keep hitting a wall but team owner /manager Jackie Maffenbeier remains optimistic. “We’ve simply had some bad luck and with only 3 rounds left we’re looking to have things turn around.”

Qualifiers went sideways with both boys thankfully getting in a timed lap. Moto 1 for Shawn Maffenbeier had him finish with a 9th place. “I was able to get loose and able to have a decent finish.”

Coming over a jump my bike hit neutral causing me to crash. The result, a season ending broken arm,” said Robinson. A tough ending for a promising year. “Shawn has worked very hard and our disappointment for him is great,” said owner/manager Randy Maffenbeier.
