The Flood 2.0

It’s been a tough week for the sport in Canada. The Triple Crown series ventured to a new track that hasnot gotten very good reviews. A small boat load of injuries has struck both the amateur and pro classes.Lastly, we lost a friend within our pits named Greg Bell (very close with Kyle Beaton and the Knowlesfamily from BC).
