Day 1 of the Parts Canada Walton ANQ Double header is in the books. There was a great turn out for the age classes which ran today. Sunday is skill class day. Almost 400 entries crammed Walton and big turn out is also expected for Sunday.
Riders either loved the track or thought it needed to be rougher. The track wasnt as deep as it is at the National, but for small wheels and vet classes that was appreciated. Sunday it is getting deeper prepp and the fast classes should be happy.
Here is a few quick photos from today.
#78 Weston Wrozyna was fast today but bad starts in the Schoolboy left him battling towards the front.
Dangerous Don Davidson came out to Walton today and as always left with a huge smile. Don has been racing for more than 40 years.
