CCS Director of Operations, Kevin Elliott said “We were happy to be a part of the Inaugural CCS-South event at MSR-Houston. The new CCS-South staff worked hard to make the whole experience a positive one and with the help of the MSR-Houston management, the event went off as smooth as I’ve ever seen. The racers were great, they put on an exciting show for the spectators that braved the poor weather conditions and help make the first motorcycle race at MSR-Houston a positive impression for the area.” CCS-South is devoted to making this new series a successful one. Travis Marshall said about Sunday’s action, “The first green flag, the first checkered flag and the relief of getting CCS-South started and going was an awesome feeling.” Travis also reports that “¦as the South series grows it will continue to be innovative in how we run our series.” That is a bonus to all racers on the competitive level.
