The Loretta Lynn Regional Qualifiers have been under way since late May/early June and the Northeast got its taste of the regional qualifier action at the Unadilla Valley Sports Center in New Berlin, New York.  The amateur racers got the special treatment at Unadilla by racing on the pro track, which has been notoriously used only for Unadilla’s round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship series.  The last time amateurs raced on the pro track was back in July of 1999, which was the Friday/Saturday amateur days before the pro national on Sunday.  It was a special treat for the Vet racers there as well as the fast young talent in the amateur classes.  Check out the full results from Unadilla at the link below!
