3-14-04 Rockhouse Morganton, NC
We had almost 500 riders show up for the day's race. 120 of those quad riders. The track was 7.6 miles of hills, roots, and fast woods, typical Rockhouse.
The weather was beautiful. Actually perfect. Sunny, slight wind, with a little dust.
The race started a little late at 4:40, but not too many people minded cause the spectator and racers kept pouring in for the Mid East Season Opener!http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/f956d425.jpg
