This past week The Rockstar Suzuki Amateur Elite MX Team came together in the vacation mecca of Las Vegas, NV for the 38th annual NMA World Mini Grand Prix. However it hardly seemed like a vacation as our riders had to battle through driving winds, the occasional giant drop rainstorm and blowing dust devils. In fact there was even snow falling in the desert one morning!! The riders overcame these obstacles as all of them posted at least one top 5 finish and we collected several podiums and top 10's.
