WNYOA RACE at Miles Mountain Pics

[CBRSLIDER]

Well these are in no specific order and come with very little commentary. I just snapped them while I was watching the race. I am only including about half of what I have since they have already been reduced in size and the others are still very large size files. Enjoy.

For those at the race I hope there is a pic of you and for those that have never attended a WNYOA event, stop by one and see how nice they are. The people are real friendly, the competition is great, and the tracks are awesome.

660Bigdaddy(Wayne Edwards) getting the holeshot in the AA class.

Rich Dwyer getting the holeshot in the A class. Rich has come along way from when he and I raced against each other a couple years ago. His riding is really impressive. Unfortunately he would have problems early that took him out of the race.

[CBRSLIDER]

The senior guys getting it done. Right after this pic, John(yfz) and Dan(z400) got hooked up bad. I had to drop the camera and help pull them apart, their quads were so tangled up.

[CBRSLIDER]

Got some nice style going on there.

[CBRSLIDER]

Chris Pratt(MEL) treating that kawasaki 'ute like a sport quad. He would embarass several sport quad racers by the end of the race and had passed several before the end of the first lap after starting the race on the last row. Go get 'em Chris.

[CBRSLIDER]

I believe this was Mark Walters who led after passing 660bigdaddy and ended up taking the overall. He was the first into the creek crossing. No I was not in a tree, on the bank above him. We'll leave tree climbing for pics to Harlen.

bigdaddy running in second, close behind walters.

[CBRSLIDER]

Ron Myers, senior quad, still pushing it hard after a great holeshot.

[CBRSLIDER]

John Stache having a better go at it after his tangle at the beginning of the race.

[CBRSLIDER]

Bigdaddy coming out of the creek and heading for the hill.

[CBRSLIDER]

Matt Darnely followed by DJ Stache in hot pursuit of Bigdaddy.

[CBRSLIDER]

Wish I knew who this was because he is fast!!!

[CBRSLIDER]

Another unknown but hard on the gas.

[CBRSLIDER]

This is my favorite pic of the race. I do not know who it is but I felt like I was there on the quad with him.

[CBRSLIDER]

Shane Northrup climbing the hill just before the scoring barrels.

[CBRSLIDER]

Out of the woods and into the heat again.

[CBRSLIDER]

DJ pouring it on at the end of the race looking to catch the front runners in the AA class after a tough start.

[CBRSLIDER]

660bigdaddy(Wayne) still running strong after a beautiful start. He would pass DJ for second before the end of the race.

[CBRSLIDER]

Wringing out that 450R.

[CBRSLIDER]

Gary Chamberlin still hauling along at the end of the race.

[CBRSLIDER]

There was tight racing until the very end. This was one of the packs at the front after an hour + of racing.

[CBRSLIDER]

Future racer recovering after a long day at the races. Made for a quiet 100 mile trip home. Guess the 90degree weather took its toll on him, as it did the racers. I have never seen a 3yr old so into a race. I had to pry him away from the action in the woods. To take his picture in the woods took me 5 times telling him to turn around for a pic and finally when there were no more quads passing by he finally turned around real quick for a pic.

Hope everyone enjoyed the pics. Like I said I have more but just don't have them reduced in size. And I have to post them at work because it would take me two days to post 4 pics from my 24k dialup at home. Let me know if you want me to check my other pics for a pic of you. I'll need some sort of a description and I'll check them out.
