TORO is set to kick off its ninth season of winter racing in Texas with a seven race series starting out with the Red River Dirt Riders at the Bulcher property the weekend of October 31/November 1, 2009. We never know what area of the vast park the Dirt Riders will mark to challenge TORO members, so check back on the schedule page of the website the week of the event for a full pre-race recon report!

Next in line will be Gary Vieth's turn to show off his Bowie property. He always puts together a demanding course where the combination of motocross, rocks and a few man-made challenges make for very entertaining racing!

December's race will be BSGP in Denton; a VERY popular venue close to the city! The Storrie family's combination of tight tree sections with their grand prix style course - puts smiles on the faces of the racers, for sure!

2010 will kick off with TORO assisting the Bonita property land owner, Dan Burch with his 3rd annual BONITA 100 race on January 3, 2010. This year the race will benefit the RiderDown Foundation in honor of Will Pattison one of TORO's founding Board of Directors who was seriously injured during a practice session at an MX track this past summer. All net proceeds will go to that organization.

The following weekend the TORO Staff will host everyone at Bonita again for the TORO race. Bonita is the love/hate course of the series where the sand whoops grow like monsters! January 23/24 veteran racers, Haydn Franklin and Todd Slavik will put together a layout on a new-to-TORO property in Davis, Oklahoma. The property has many hills and rocks for the promoters to carve out a tough course sure to please!

February brings a new property and promoter to the TORO schedule this season. Starting off on February 6/7 with a veteran of the sport, Marty Ishmael promoting at the Antelope Hills location just 20 miles North of Jacksboro. Finally, we will end like we started with the Red River Dirt Riders and a location to be announced!
