DK Dirt Circuit - Perris, CA NBL Dells National - Wilmont, WI ABA Dixieland Nationals - Atlanta, GA

Stop # 3 of the DK Dirt Circuit was held in Perris, CA this past weekend and Nirve's Stephen Murray went off! This was a major event with ESPN coverage and all the big names including Ryan Nyquist, Cory Nastazio and TJ Lavin. Stephen qualified 3rd and once in the finals he put it all together with some HUGE runs to take the overall WIN! This is the first major Dirt Jumping win on US soil for Stephen and Nirve!

Beautiful weather and a serious Pro turnout was a recipe for a great weekend of racing at the NBL Dells National in Wilmont, Wisconsin. Nirve's Cristian Becerine had a great weekend, putting himself in every main event. Saturday, Cristian took a 2nd in Pro Open and battled to a 3rd in AA Pro. Sunday, a couple of crashes in the AA Pro mains kept Cristian to a 5th and he took a 8th in Pro Open.

The ABA's stop this past weekend was in Atlanta, GA for the Dixieland nationals, they should have called it the Sponge Cake Nationals. The ABA hauled wet dirt into the indoor arena for the race, this made for a terrible sponge like track. Nirve's Kyle Bennett fell victim to the track on more than one occasion. Saturday, Kyle took a 8th in both AA Pro and Pro Open. Sunday, Kyle placed 7th in Pro Open.
