This coming weekend, October 31 – November 1, 2015, the Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA) will be tearing up the track at MSR Houston in Angleton, Texas. The track is located 13 miles south of Highway 6 off Highway 288. MSR Houston is a 17-turn, 2.38 mile full road course.
Gatorade has once again generously sponsored the weekend event by providing sports drink product for the entire racing paddock for Saturday and Sunday’s racers as a great tie to their “Sweat with the Best” contest. Each specially marked bottle of sports drink has a code under the cap to use to win instant prizes or enter a chance to win one of 50 epic athletic experiences. Go to SweatWithTheBest.com for more information and how to use the cap codes.
The weekend activities begin at 7:00 a.m. Friday with a CMRA License school and a full day CMRA racer practice. Registration opens for all activities at 6:30 a.m. Friday ends with a wedding for CMRA racer Alonzo Contreras and fiancé Lacy Short at the finish line on track. Everyone is invited to attend the short ceremony immediately following Friday practice.
Saturday’s schedule begins with a full slate of Mini and Lightweight Sprint races, including the Four81Motos-sponsored Grom Challenge, and Rainbow Sox Racing-sponsored Junior Motard class for the youngest racers, ages 8-12 years old.

Racing concludes with the 6th and final round of Championship Endurance race, at 5:30 p.m. also on the 2.38 mile course. A trophy presentation and meet and greet followed by the CMRA end of season Pizza and Halloween Party is a welcome finish to the full day of racing.
