The NGPC series descended on the Honolulu Hills Raceway in Taft, CA for the 2nd round of the series. The field was stacked with talented riders, who had to negotiate a dry and dusty racetrack for eight laps. After a short delay on Sunday, the pro race was underway. Dare DeMartile got off to a good start on his Beta Factory 480 RR in 4th place. However, somewhere on the first lap, he was the victim of a hidden hole in the sand on the track, which resulted in a crash and losing spots in the race. DeMartile recovered and was able to salvage a top ten finish.

“The race weekend went okay. I started off with a decent start in 4th place. My Beta was handling and running awesome. Unfortunately, on the first lap, I hit a big hole underneath the sand and had a bad crash. When I got back on the bike I was last place in my class but I just put my head down and did the best I could.”
