TURKEY CROSS DAY 1 BRINGS MARIANAS TOGETHER

By Patrick Lujan

MARPI, Saipan – With a cool breeze waving the Guam and CNMI flags high above the Cow Town Race Park, the vision of having the two islands unite in motocross became a reality.

“Cuki and I talked about this race over a year ago and with the community support it’s happening!,” said Guam Off-Road President Jeff Rios. “The Guam rider’s list went from 15 riders to more than double that in just two months. Our team is here and racing well! Saipan hospitality cannot be compared, old friendships with our Saipan riders have been rekindled and everyone is happy, it’s been awesome.”

With special thanks to the Marianas Racing Association, Day 1 of the Turkey Cross 2022 revved up the off-roading spirits as nearly 100 riders from the islands raced and jumped around the track. Here are the results from Saturday’s Heat 1:
