The Bill Bridges Benefit race was at "The Track" in Carleton, Michigan this past weekend. This is Bill’s home outdoor track in the summer. The classes raced consisted of both electric and nitro and the event had more than 300 entries. It was amazing to see so many racers and manufactures come together for this great cause. Racing started at 9am. and the mains finished just before 2am. The event raised a substantial amount of money which will help Bill and his family in the months to come. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!
