Super Mini 1 (12-15) Moto 1 saw Cooper Webb (175), Cameron Dowell (726), and Tyler Kirschner (244) lead the way early down the long, start straight at Elizabeth City.

Jacob Knable leads the way down the start straight during a 250 B Stock division moto.

Zach Bell gets a huge start during the 1st 250 B Stock division moto over Joey Savatgy (176) and the rest of the pack.

While running 2nd close behind Savatgy, Zach Bell went down in one corner early in the moto.

Joey Savatgy was unstoppable all day long.  He never saw 2nd each time he went across the stripe each lap.

After his fall in the corner, Zach Bell charged on despite his clutch level dangling in the wind as he worked his way through the pack.

Tisdale (210) and Merrill (173) battle it out in the 1st 250 A moto at Elizabeth City.

Jimmy Weinert Training Facility/South of the Border rider Seth Rarick won 3 out of his 4 A class motos at Elizabeth City on Saturday.  He was on fire today and plans to continue it into Sunday.

Rodbell was the top rider in the 51cc (4-6) Shaft Drive class on Saturday at Elizabeth City.

Paul Coates (75) and Dakota Alix (37) battle it out in the 1st Schoolboy 1 moto at Elizabeth City.

Cooper Webb was in the top 5 each of the motos today in the Schoolboy 1 class at Elizabeth City.

Jesse Pierce ran the MXPTV Helmet Cam in the 1st Schoolboy 1 moto and after taking the winter off with racing, he got a solid 2nd place in the 1st moto.

However, Jesse Pierce had company all moto long with Kuykendall (321) and Webb (175) but held them off by the checkers.

450 A 1st moto saw Seth Rarick holds off and pulls away from local pro Nick Hayes.  Rarick would take the 450 A overall win.

Johnny Wasco was another rider running the MXPTV Helmet Cam today at Elizabeth City.  A 4th in 450 A and 14th in 250 A is how he finished today at ECMX.

One 50cc rider takes super good care of his Cobra in between motos at Elizabeth City.

Mostly everyone had their fair share of sandblasted moments today at ECMX.

Zach Bell lays it over in one corner during the 2nd 250 B Stock moto at ECMX.

The big battle of the day was between Joey Savatgy and Zach Bell in the 2nd 250 B Stock moto.  Savatgy lead the entire way but Bell was inching closer and closer to Savatgy each lap showing impressive speed on his Kawasaki KX250F.  It definitely shows that Bell is transferring well to the big bikes after years on the mini bikes.

Dakota Alix topped the Schoolboy 1 class pretty easily today at ECMX.

Maryland’s Darius Glover competed in his first Loretta Lynn area qualifier today in a non-qualifying 125-450cc class today at ECMX.  Glover had a rough time on the sandy track after falling a number of times each moto.  But he kept going and finished each moto as the crowd applauded his efforts.
