Motocross racers share thrills at Libby's Millpond
They came from northwest Montana, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia and the Flathead.
Saturday’s Millpond Motocross track in Libby was the site of the annual races involving some of the best young riders in the region.
One hundred seventy people attended the races to see 42 riders, some of who competed in multiple classes.
“We also had 50 amazing volunteers who helped make the day a success,” event organizer Jenn Remp said. “And we are so thankful for the support we get from the local community and generous businesses.”
Libby had four racers win in five events. Westin Remp won the schoolboy and 85cc events. Rylin Uithof claimed the women’s race, Parker Bache won the 250 junior and Skyler Higareda took the 450 Junior.
Sandpoint’s Cody Warwick was a double winner, taking the 450 beginner and 250 beginner races.
The money made at Saturday’s race will go toward getting power on the property for lighting and night races. The all-volunteer outfit, in operation since 2003, also has a new stand for its flag waver at the start and finish line, built by Doug Adams.
