2018 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championships Round 3

Guam Heritage Day Motocross

This past Sunday round 3 of the 2018 Monster Energy Guam Motocross Championship was held in the beautiful southern village of Umatac and was held in conjunction with this years Guam Heritage Day festivies. The motocross races involved both motorcycle and atv classes of several sizes. Competitors ages both male and female ranged from four years of age all the way to 60 and something. The race course was convienently located directly within the village right alongside the iconic Umatac bridge.

With clear sunny skies the course being located within the village was dry and very dusty and required the help and support of water to supress the dust and to make the racing possible. Thankfully Smithbridge International had one of their water truck on scene and was able to easily water and supress the dry and dusty conditions.
