It’s a new year at Colin Edwards’ Texas Tornado Boot Camp and racing is back at the Montgomery, TX based Yamalube USA and Yamaha Motor USA motorcycle facility. January 21st, 2017 marks the first Dirt Wars and Mad Dog racing event of the year.
For those not familiar with the racing formats, Dirt Wars is a one-night race under the lights; it’s a test of skill. Riders compete on equally prepped and provided YAMAHA TTR-125 machines. The event includes heat races, LCQs and main events. Dirt Wars, along with the “Mad Dog” classes, feature a format which splits amateurs and professionals. Purse money will be paid to the Pro divisions. Mad Dog racing is a “bring your own bike event.”
Texas Tornado Boot Camp is offering early registration for all classes in the upcoming January 21st event. Online registration closes Friday the 20th at midnight. TTBC recommends that all racers sign up early. Post entry is an a additional $10 fee per class.
“What can I say? I’m really excited for the new year,” says TTBC operations manager, Joe Prussiano. “Our first race is earlier than ever before. We just couldn’t wait any longer to get back to racing! We’ve scheduled an additional “Dirt Wars” this year in response to the feedback from our racers. I have my Mad Dog bike tuned up, ready to win and beat Colin. Ya’ll come on out and have some fun, unless you’re skeerd.”
