Saturday's Chris Gallegos Memorial Race II had D1 wing racers, D3 Retro, Flat track and BPIR dragstrip racers participating in races honoring the late BPR owner, Chris Gallegos.

It was a fun day with a wide variety of races on each of the 3 tracks at BPR (as well as the dragstrip).

Thanks to Jim and Debby Watterson for their support of this special event.

Thanks to our race directors: Robert Park and Greg Carter.
