Saturday Highlights

On Saturday, CVMA replaced the traditional starting flag with a new starting light system. With many CVMA racers progressing to compete at the national level in MotoAmerica, the club is adopting a start sequence similar to those used in national and international racing organizations. Participants responded enthusiastically, praising the new system’s professional feel and seamless integration.
Several racers delivered standout performances on Saturday. Alfonso Califano dominated the lightweight category, securing three race wins. Jayson Uribe showcased his skills in the open class, claiming victory in two races. Alex George also had an impressive day, winning two races aboard his ultra-lightweight bike.
