This Saturday afternoon is the second crit of the SmashFest series, jointly run by SPR and RCCC! The combination of the Bentley Tech Park Course and beginner focused lower grades are perfect for SPR members who want to try racing. Even if you are just curious, come down, sit on the grass under a tree and watch some fantastic racing in action! You can enter on the day up to 15 minutes before your race. More info on the facebook page.
