evening with the bus racing. Chad Krueger was the fastest school bus on
the speedway for qualifying, beating out the other seven buses competing.
Next was a warm up show by X-Treme Motocross Stunt Rider Jason Hammrick.
He started off the evening with some smaller stunts, warming up the crowd for
his second show that followed the burn out contest. His second show he
was able increase the complexity of his stunts, which pleased the crowd even
more as his stunts were bigger and bigger.
