Heat 3 was a new class for "seasoned" riders who didn't want to duke it out with the modern bikes. We named it Johnny Lee's Gang and it provided some of the most exciting racing of the afternoon. The guys were so excited to get the heat started it took two tries to get it right! Here class namesake Johnny Lee Adams lines up at the starting line.
