Pro and A start was LOUD! Anyone that has not seen a TRX450R hasnt been to a race in the last 2 weeks.

First turn action was HOT!!!

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:43 PM
As soon as the first turn cleared, the riders were faced with what seemed like a small, shallow wet area in the field. More then one rider almost went over the bars as it was deeper then expected and very thick

Pappy

Next out was an Open class. This being an Outlaw Race the classes didnt follow the normall Gncc order i am accustomed too.

Nonetheless- first turn action provided for some great spectating

Pappy

C class 16 -21 had a KFX 400 grabbing the holeshot.

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:50 PM
C class not withstanding, these fella's dropped the hammer and i was certain one would end up going over the bars

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:52 PM
The second turn claimed this rider. No damage and he righted his quad and was gone!

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:55 PM
C class 21 -29 was a large class. The red 400ex with Hipers in the center of the picture is exrider member "TACO"

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:57 PM
Taco grabbed the holeshot!!! i actually missed getting the picture, but he pulled several quad lengths on the class until the raptor caught him in the first turn

Pappy
03-14-2004, 05:59 PM
Taco snuffed him in the turn and was off!!!!

Pappy
03-14-2004, 06:01 PM
The mudd claimed Taco and the class came roaring up to snatch what could have been one of the best holeshots ive ever seen

Pappy
03-14-2004, 06:04 PM
Taco held his own and went into the woods 5th i believe. Not too far into the woods he was creamed by another rider and went to the back of the class

Pappy
03-14-2004, 06:07 PM
The last class off the line was 30+


they had a clean start

Pappy

Being that this isnt a sanctioned race i cant place a name with a number plate, so from here forward i will post pics and add comentary if i need to.

Pappy

Right at the start of the race the skies darkened and a light rain fell. Conditions were actually pretty good for racing, but forced me to make adjustments to be able to capture it all on film

Pappy
03-14-2004, 06:18 PM

I have been watching/reading these fourms for a while and let me say that by FAR this is the BEST place for race photos/coverage. I just cant believe that with all the races that ther are that somehow you all manage to get coverage of most of them.

Keep up the good work!!

BTW I race the GNCC Circuit in the Open C Class (first year at GNCC) I always see the exriders.com t-shirts, but havent really know anyone (besides I own a Z-400, and didnt want to get razzed)!!
