Welcome to Race #1:
May the 4th be with you!
EVENT DATE
Sunday May 4, 2025
EVENT LOCATION:
Massasoit State Park
1361 Middleboro Ave., East Taunton, MA 02718
After a year's absence we return to Massasoit State Park. While the weather for early season races can certainly be unpredictable, the predominately sandy soil of the park lends itself well to great racing no matter the conditions. And with a race venue that abuts a picturesque pond & sandy beach, there is certainly going to be some great race day photos.
