The final Saturday races of the 2024 Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA), was held October 26 at Eagles Canyon Raceway, near Decatur, TX, and was a shootout between the series leaders. This was the first ever clockwise direction race on the 2.7 mile road course, featuring challenging elevation changes, blind corners, fast straight aways, and the first time many of the racers had ever run this course. 

 
The races feature Mini, Lightweight, and Big Bike sprints and highlight the Ultra Lightweight Endurance race. The Minis saw Maverick Johnson, aboard an Ohvale 110, clinching the overall win in front of Kendall Leonard, also on an Ohvale 110, and Ryan Starkey astride an Ohvale 110- auto, with Johnson turning a quick 1:33.420 on the 1.6 mile short course.
 
In Lightweight action, Zack Foster snagged 2 podiums with his Kawasaki Ninja 400, taking the top spot in D Superbike Expert and finishing 2nd in 500 Superstock, turning in an impressive 2:05.017.
 
The Big Bike races saw JC Camacho set a new lap record of 1:56.487 on lap 4 in  A Superstock Expert on his Kawasaki ZX-10R besting Alan Philips and Kyle Coles, both on Yamaha YZF – R1’s to take the win. Camacho also won 500 Superstock Expert on his Kawasaki Ninja 400 with a 2:04.779.
 
The headline race of the day, the 5 hour Ultralight weight Endurance, featuring the classes of: 500 Classic, 500 Superstock, 300 Superstock, and 250 Superbike, saw championship leaders Band of Misfits (Hayden Bicknese, JC Camacho, Michael Klesel, David Roth Jr, Derek Thomas), Liquid Death (Zachary Koehn, Hunter Malone, Austin Pully, Ivan Rivera, JT Rivera), and Smooth Fab Racing (Andrew Forsythe, Cash Preston, Aiden Sneed, Parker Williams), all lining up to take the win away from current champions Ram Air 400(Zack Foster, Jeremy Keller, Shane Smith, Chad Steinhoff). The green flagged dropped, and the first 90 minutes of the race saw Team Burleson (Cory Burleson, Isaiah Burleson, Josiah Burleson), Smooth Fab Racing, and Band of Misfits all trading off for the lead, and running within 1.5 seconds of each other. Team Burleson started having bike issues, causing them to fall back. Band of Misfits had a stumble during their first rider exchange, causing them to drop back as well. Ram Air 400 had some bike issues going into hour 2, with Smooth Fab Racing taking over the lead, and holding it. Liquid Death stalked the leaders, slipping into the top 3 and sliding into 2nd for the last hour of the race. Heading for the checkers, Smooth Fab Racing solidified their lead by a lap over Liquid Death, with Ram Air 400 pulling up into third. Sons of Arthritis (Jesse Davis, Dave Gallagher, Esteban Garcia, Josh Henke) edged into 4th ahead Team Burleson.  Band of Misfits recovered from their earlier mishap and surged back from 18th to finish inside the top ten and clinch the Overall Endurance Championship.
