MHSC ROUND #1 was off to a good start with the weather being perfect and about 175 riders . The course was tight and rocky with broke down quads everywhere and many skidplates and bumpers laying about .The day ended with Duane Johnson on top in the overall with Bryan Baker on his tail within inches.

[Johnny & Monica]

Elk Creek was a great kick off race for the MHSC with about 175 riders plus their family and friends attending.

[Johnny & Monica]

One of the outspoken favorites, Geoff George, waiting in the starting line for the stock class.

[Johnny & Monica]

Here's Jessica Zuklin, I believe, she rides the 2-3-4 class and one of the few womens riders at the MHSC atv race

[Johnny & Monica]

The AA class start was sure to be a good one with names like Duane Johnson, Bryan Baker, Rhett Butler, Todd Senger, Bryan Hulsey, and Jamie Shepard to name a few. And they're off...........
Todd Senger out front.

[Johnny & Monica]

The A class was set for another battle with #26 Chris Wyatt out on the holeshot but Dankel and the others were fighting for position.

[Johnny & Monica]

With 21 entrys in the A class they just keep coming.

[Johnny & Monica]

With 20 entrys in the b class it was looking to be a big battle but by the end of the first lap 4 riders were already finished for the day due to broken tie rods and such.

[Johnny & Monica]

The vet class (25+) had 16 entrys with number 226 Ryon Weidner out front but his race was over by the second lap.

[Johnny & Monica]

This poor Cannondale had a bad start but by the end of the race Gerald Salsbury # 256 had roosted his way back from 16th to 6 place.

[Johnny & Monica]

10 riders took the line for the senior (+40) class.

[Johnny & Monica]

The Stock Class flying into the first corners.

[Johnny & Monica]

The c class had 45 riders vieing for position.

[Johnny & Monica]

The vet class C (+25) with 21 riders.

[Johnny & Monica]

These up and coming riders in the 2-3-4 class were in for a big challenge with the course being so rocky. With 8 riders only 1 was unable to finish the race. Big thumbs up to the young riders.

[Johnny & Monica]

And finally the beginners were ready to make their way into the woods.

[Johnny & Monica]

Here a pic of the leaders coming thru on their way to scoring. Duane Johnson out front with Senger charging from behind.

[Johnny & Monica]

Rider #23 Dennis Edwards riding the open A class charging thru to the front of the pack.

[Johnny & Monica]

Rider #32 looking to make his mark on the first lap.

[Johnny & Monica]

With a 6 mile course being so technical it's hard to get away from the pack.

[Johnny & Monica]

This banshee rider wore himself out and caused a small bottleneck. After a minute or so he got his quad moved so people could get thru the gate freely.

[Johnny & Monica]

Here's a predator and a cannondale making their way thru the gate.

[Johnny & Monica]

Shep moving right along on the second lap. He would go on to finish 10th overall. Way to go Jamie Shepard.

[Johnny & Monica]

Yesterday was my birthday and I did what I wanted to do go to a race. I will be posting more pictures tonight as I am going to my Momma's for dinner. Thanks everyone for showing up and making this a great season opener.

[Johnny & Monica]

Here's AA rider Jake Wyatt on his second lap through the course.

[Johnny & Monica]

Lots of pine trees to wind your quad through.

[Johnny & Monica]

This Suzuki was getting it done.Zach Werdehausen he took 4th in the B class

[Johnny & Monica]

Great job Monica with the pics and report.
I bent a Tie rod on the begining of the second lap, then broke a Tie rod end shortly after.
Spent about 45 min trying to make it back to the pits
Got it fixed and did one more lap.
went from 1st to 15th in b-vet class. :(
I am guesing you had the Barry Hawk shirt on. next time I will say Hi
I think johnny was lined up just behind me.
Great job and keep up the hard work.
I hope every one keeps coming to the races. Sad to see some being thin skinned like um you know who.
Thanks again, and we will be at Sedalia.
