If the racing is anywhere near as good as it was last year, I think we are in for a cracker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the racing is even better this year because now some of the riders have their own bikes that they have been training on. I think we will see some unbelievable young kids with super, super nice riding skills going around the racetrack here on Saturday. I am really looking forward to seeing what they are going to come up with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the whole series now has a bit of momentum. I think we have a very good platform with the bike and concept we have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really is about spreading the sport to new areas and also making it easier for new families to enter the sport. We just need to continue to work hard, try to spread the good word and build the momentum we have now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2453\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2453 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/antone-prusa5594-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/antone-prusa5594-large.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/antone-prusa5594-large-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/antone-prusa5594-large-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Returning for 2024 &#8211; 2023 SGP4 runner-up Cooper Antone.

He said: \u201cIt went really well. On a personal note, it gave me a lot of energy to meet up with all the kids and the families. I felt charged up going home from the event and I hope the families had the same feeling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great two days of practice on the racetrack. It also gave them a little bit of an insight into what the GP weekend looks like.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cVery few kids have actually had the opportunity to look into how a GP weekend is run. I really hope a few of them are going to make it all the way into the GP.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNow they have a little bit of an understanding of all the work around a GP. It\u2019s not only about riding the bike. It\u2019s about attending all the meetings, interviews and press conferences too. I feel we have started to prepare them a bit for what\u2019s going to come.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen we had the kids lining up with the GP riders for the parade, I saw some of the parents were actually crying because of how happy they were.
