IATVHSS Round #4 afternoon race Bluff Creek, Bussey, IA

The afternoon race was about to get started and the riders were happily greeted with small light showers. That would maybe help keep some of the dust down. Duane Johnson and Michael Burrows took the line and listened to Andy at the riders meeting. It was set to be an awesome race between the two fast racers. Duane was on a high after placing second in pro am at the GNCC and ninth overall that Saturday then drove all night to race the IATVHSS.

I know I am a little late at replying but I have to back Monica on this one. Johnny I have seen you on the side of the track having a snack break and a pep talk from Monica and the kids. Zac may be man pretty but he doesn't stop and get a hug from his momma on the track. P.S. I do have this on video.
