Decatur,
TX (4/1/2007) –
With the rains that fell on Thursday and Friday before
the races had even started, I was looking for the pairs
of animals heading to the Ark with all of the flooding
that occurred. There were times that I was thinking
that the race would not go on as scheduled because there
was no way the ground could hold all of the water. Believe
it or not, the sun came out Saturday morning and the
track work started with a vengeance. At a few minutes
past 10:00 AM, practice was under way, and some of the
racers packed up and headed out prior to the start of
any of the racing and they wound up missing some spectacular
conditions. After a sloppy practice and some beautiful
sunshine the track was ready for some awesome racing.

Greg Gee Pro Am Moto Two Holeshot |
Pro-Am rider Greg Gee must have really liked the conditions
because they let him win both Moto 1 and Moto 2 way
out in front of the pack. Not only did Greg take the
wins and the Pro-Am overall he did it with the fastest
amateur lap time of the day coming in with a 2.07.662.
Second place went to Cody Harris who finished with a
2-4 in his Motos followed by Cody Miller taking 5-2
finishes in his Motos.

Jacob Hakala was on his way to another top finish
until a get off in the whoops sent him back to
14th |

Cody Harris finally broke free from the Gremlins
to finish both Motos and claim 2nd Overall |
In the Women’s Pro-Am class, Angela Butler proved
to be the queen of the whoops as Heather Byrd was doing
her best to keep up with Angela, but on a track that
had whoops on nearly every straight section, today was
not her day. Even though Heather got the Holeshot in
Moto 2, it was a matter of a few turns and the first
long whoop section before Angela took the lead and ran
in the lead to the finish. Heather Byrd finished a strong
second place with her teammate, Adrienne Cooper claiming
the third spot. Adrienne Cooper stepped up to this class
at the end of the 2006 season in Kentucky after wrapping
up the Women’s Sport Championship. Her third place
finish at Oak Hill MX, boosted her into third in points
past Michelle Natalie, who didn’t race at Oak
Hill.
