                                    Mickey Thompson / Kal Gard 
                                    Stadium Series - Perris Auto Speedway - Perris, 
                                    CA
                                 
                                Corona, CA (10/3/2009) 
                                  -September marked the final round of 
                                  the Mickey Thompson series taking place at Perris 
                                  Auto Speedway in Perris California. This year 
                                  was the first time that Quad racing was welcomed 
                                  back to the series since the last Mickey Thompson's 
                                  were ran over 10 years ago. 
                                Dirt Alliance joined forces with 
                                  Triumph Motorsports to get quads out to the 
                                  series. Numbers seem to grow after the first 
                                  race once word got out about how fun the event 
                                  was. Dennis Capogni seemed to be a step above 
                                  the competition at the first round, but the 
                                  second round showed Davi Haagsma could come 
                                  out and run with some of California's fastest 
                                  racers.

                                This last round brought out Kory 
                                  Ellis. With Chris Riley and Dennis Capogni missing 
                                  it seemed the only racers to give Kory Ellis 
                                  a race was Davi Haagsma, and Darrel Patton. 
                                
                                Qualifying went well for all the 
                                  racers and put Haagsma on the pole position 
                                  for the main event. 
                                Before the main event we got to 
                                  walk around to look at all the great vendors 
                                  that participated in the event.

                                        brought out a DJ and some lovely ladies 
                                        to show their support | Amsoil 
                                        was on hand to show the public their great 
                                        oils | 
                                
                                It's vendors like these that make 
                                  an event great!

                                        around we noticed that the fan base for 
                                        these races were huge. It was nice to 
                                        see even in this economy that people still 
                                        love to come out to watch Off Road racing |  
                                        It only took a few corners for 
                                        Kory Ellis to work his way to the front |
