World Mini G.P. Draws Huge Crowd Part 1


A full pack of both Saturday Minis make it up the hill during one of the many motos during the World Mini GP. It took three days to get the event off and it ran into the night on both Saturday and Sunday. Many of the kids got really tired waiting for their motos to be run. But there sure was a lot of competition. Hatounian photo.
