The fog gone, the sun came out and brought its cousin "Humidity" with it:p

[Pappy]

I was having fun, but I will pay the price for the next few days. I got a wee bit overheated watching you guys:)

[Pappy]

I think I have more of that red dirt down my shirt then I saw on some quads:chinese:

Got every frame of this one too:p Glad he was ok. I will post the sequence in the coverage...

[Pappy]

Now I know some of you was wondering just how the fat guy got up there werent ya:cool:

[Pappy]

It was a cool vantage point right up until one of the UTE riders hit the stump and there just happened to be a large yellow jackets nest under it:ermm:

It took me 40 minutes until the bee's were covered back up by dirt before i dared get down:grr:

someone said exhaust leak???

[ridesdirt]

I heard exhaust leak also. The rider said he looked down and saw flames. I do understand how an exhaust leak can make the engine run hotter, but catch fire? Make your own decision.

I would speculate a fuel leak, probably from the petcock to tank gasket.


The owner said it was a new bike, only in it's third race.

[RaptorRacer45]

He apprently rolled it over seconds before hand and gas leaked out and came in touch w\ the exhaust eventually......I cant believe how heartbreaking that must feel:(

[Troyer23J]

There was a Kawi at the morning race in Florida that burned up even worse.

[ridesdirt]

I thought something was odd, the right lower a arm was bent pretty bad when the fire first started, I am guessing crash damage. The upper a arm burned in half.
