Sugar Grove, PA (8/29/09) The seventh annual Matt Bartosek Memorial race might be a single event, however the memorial fund that allows national races to receive medical attention at the track, charges on throughout each season. The annual event and memorial fund honor the life of fallen up and coming pro rider, Matt Bartosek. Riders would once again be punching a Northwest Pennsylvania address into their GPS units as Mapleshade MX would return as this year’s host. The track would undergo little to no changes since last years running. The most significant change would be a large table top that would prove to be a challenge to downside for even the best riders.
