By Billy Rainford This is normally one of the busiest three days on my calendar for covering Canadians racing down south. With the money race on Thursday (the Pro Circuit Open), the Supercross on Saturday, the Big Boar GNCC race at Hog Waller in Palatka, Florida, and then the finals day of the RCSX on Monday, I’m normally running off my feet and pounding miles on the #DMXVan.

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – January 2021 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans! I like to think I could pass for the Energizer Bunny’s sister.
