The 麻豆视频 Corner Racing Circuit is a motocross series in southern Saskatchewan.听
Races were held July 17 at the Bowen Rekken Memorial Track and featured more than 100 riders across 11 divisions.
鈥淚 think there was a lot of excitement [and] a lot of nerve 鈥� [with] that being the first race, most of the riders haven鈥檛 raced anywhere else yet this year,鈥� said SCRC president Kate Lees.

Lees is unsure of the total number of spectators, but said the event was well-attended by members of the public as well as competitors.
After being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the SCRC was finally able to host a banquet celebrating the champions of the 2020 race series on Saturday as well.
鈥淚 honestly can't tell you how many hours a week we put in just between ... finding the sponsors like doing pre-registration, doing points, doing memberships ... talking to the Government of Saskatchewan, making sure that we are good to go racing ... definitely a lot of hours put in,鈥� Lees said of the work that went into planning the 2021 race series.
Lees would particularly like to thank those who spent extra time preparing the racetrack: Brian Lees, Brad Wyatt, Joey Nelson and Chris Russell, as well as racing partners Moose Mountain Leisure and the Carlyle Rental Centre.
Round two of the SCRC series is a double-header in Estevan on July 24 and 25.听
