Team LaVallee Ends the Season Strong!
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was the location for the 09/10 AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series final race
Lake Geneva is one of my favorite tracks on the race circuit, says LaVallee, the weather is usually always nice, the track is long and challenging and the crowd seems to get bigger and bigger each year.
