This weekends Dirt Riot in Congress, Arizona at Thompson Ranch will more than likely look entirely new to racers and spectators. The race course will be run in the reverse direction of years passed affording the potential of more rock portions in and around the start finish area for spectator viewing. Thanks to Fly-N-Hi Racing and Jones Auto Centers for supporting the event from a local arena and helping with getting the course ready.
