M.A.T.T. memebers Scott Carpenter and Jake Wieland traveled to Pensylvania last month and participated in an indoor 2-day trials event. The boys did M.A.T.T. and Gas Gas proud as they both participated in the Expert class. Jake won the class and Scott finished fourth. I believe Chris Florin won the Champ class.
