TUESDAY, OCT. 8, 2024
There was a ton of fun at the TransTec Halloween Classic LI presented by Harland Sharp on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, with the Dornan Sales & Service Pit Vehicle Mania, Nettie Damron Cornhole Tournament presented by Nostalgia Collision and Mike’s Collision, Rockin’ Eve Party and live music by John Mullins sponsored by Moto Lenz Photos.
Instead of being in their race cars and on their race motorcycles, racers taking part in the Dornan Sales & Service Pit Vehicle Mania were on golf carts, scooters, mini bikes and dirt bikes, and Austin Lenz proved he can win even when he is not in his door car by doing just that on his dirt bike.
