“I would like to thank the clubs for their continued support, and especially WERA for hosting the round this year,” says Shandra Crawford, California State Championship Organizer. “The changes that I made this year were based on racer feedback and taking into account all of the races taking place on the West Coast. I would also like to thank San Diego BMW Motorcycles for their level of support this year.
