Guam History and Chamorro Heritage Day Motocross 2

This past Sunday, Guam’s motocross racers were once again tearing up the dirt in the gorgeous southern village of Umatac. For the second Sunday in a row Guam’s motocross racers and fans have been participating in this year’s Guam History and Chamorro Heritage Day festivities just across the road from the Umatac Mayors office and this year’s carnival concessions. The motocross course was built alongside the Umatac Bridge where normally a carabao is often seen grazing and cooling off in the mud.

Fans were once again treated to tight bar banging racing as the action kicked off at just after lunch and lasted all afternoon. With cool breezes and clear skies it was a perfect day to spend down in Umatac. At the end of the day shortly after the motocross awards were presented by Mayor Johnny Quinata and his staff many of the racers and supporters cooled off to another beautiful Umatac Bay sunset and to Guam’s famous island hospitality.
