The weather was holding off for the morning race. It was overcast and cool. Racer Productions put together a track that was just under 4 miles with a combination of rocky, tight woods, grass fields, straight aways logging roads, and off cambers. This was the most technical track that they have made for the kids. There was a total of fifty youth riders this weekend.

Downhill that the racers had to pick good lines so that some of the ruts down the middle didn't swallow their tires and wheels.

Thanks for the coverage.Actually Matthew Harris got the holeshot and the two battled all the way into the woods.Then Cheyne got around Matthew.Matthew wanted to thank Jesi Stracham for letting him squeeze in between her and another quad so he would have a decent spot.All of the kids did a great job! :D

We all appreciate you for doing the live coverage. I did it this past weekend for you. I always check out the live coverage to see if I can get any notes for the coverage because I can't be there.

Thanks for the great coverage of the youth race. ALL of these kids are great riders. The track was the bst track yet. This was a perfect track it had everything that made it a great race.

It was well worth driving 860 miles with Michael and his buddy Klye Riley in the back seat driving us crazy for over 16 hrs.

I knew Kyle had it in him to make it on the podium. Two class wins and a top 3 overall. Pretty good for 2 kids who are very small for their age. But they make it up with HEART!
