Round 2 of the 16th annual Northeast Classic Motocross series took place at Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ this past weekend. More than 650 racers took part in the long-running series and 56 motos were run showing that motocross racing is alive and well in the Garden State.  

From the youngest racers, all the way to the veterans the challenging Mickey Kessler prepared track held up well under the racers onslaught. The youngest classes on the day were won by Bryton Carroll in the 50cc 4-6 stock, David Milana in the 50cc 7-8 stock and Duke Gomez in the 50cc 4-8 Auto/Shifter class. (#25 David Milana)
