- EUGENE08 | All this week Flotrack will be bringing you the start of Eugene08 Trials Coverage. The "White Pearl" is locked and loaded and currently headed North on its way towards Eugene. Will she make it there in one piece? Look for updates from Mark and Ryan as they make several stops in California before reaching 97401 on Thursday. If you're going to be in town during the events and want to be updated as we start finalizing our schedule, send an email to support@flocasts.org. Not able to make it out to Track Town for the festivities? No problem. We've got you covered and we promise you'll have more content and updates than ever before. The next closest thing to being at the trials is checking Flotrack over the next two weeks.
