February 23, 2016 (Wortham, Texas) – The end of the 16th Annual FMF Texas Winter Series is already upon us and while the weather was not too tough in the Lone Star state this year, the competition was the toughest it has been in many years. In four rounds, the series has had over 3000 entries competing every other week since the opener on New Years weekend. Now the riders return to where the year started.
Freestone Raceway will be the place this coming weekend, February 27th and 28th for Round 5 of the series. Many riders will be using this weekend as a warm-up to the James Stewart AMA Spring Championship. Whatever the reason for coming to Wortham this weekend, save yourself time at the track and money in your pocket by getting signed up online. Early registration closes tonight (Feb 23rd) at 11pm so get it done now.
