Cranksgiving 2014

Hell no the racing season's not over yet! Not to mention you probably need to get your rear off the couch and work up an appetite for all that pumpkin pie you are about pound with the coming Thanksgiving holiday. Upstate SORBA's Cranksgiving Weekend is back in with something new for 2014, a split venue... Day 1 at the newly commissioned JFA Trail at Pleasant Ridge Park off Highway 11 in Marietta, SC and Day 2 back to the place we've grown to love, Paris Mountain State Park, Greenville, SC . There's lot to choose from, one, two or all... pick your poison with the Jive Turkey Sophisti-Cat Alley Cat, South Carolina State Super D Championship, Turkey Shoot XC Eliminator, and/or the Wild Turkey Enduro. Plenty of choices to get your fix during the "off season." See what you missed in 2013.
