HANGTOWN
theGRIT
The Masters 50+ class is full of riders who have clearly “bled braap” for many many years and it’s pretty dang cool to watch the younger generation cheer them on. Matt rode a tough race through the challenging and technical Hangtown track at Prairie City and finished 6th overall in the Masters 50+ class.
As it turns out though, it wasn’t just a weekend for a daughter to cheer on her father as he hoped to
earn his ticket to The Ranch, but a weekend for a father to also cheer on his daughter. The girl in the mechanic’s area is the #151 of Alexa Conatser. Alexa was a hard charger all weekend, both on the sidelines and on the track. The Girls Jr. (9-13) rider put up an impressive 2-2 for 2nd overall in her class, which meant she also earned her ticket to “The Ranch”. To all the moto families out there, we salute you!
